⚒️ [1.1.7] Local Alice – bug fixes, wake-up word, new voices & Searxng support

This release focuses on strengthening local functionality and making Alice more usable out of the box.

What’s new:

  • Improved local setup (Windows & macOS ARM):
    More robust handling of binaries and dependencies ensures smoother installs and fewer setup issues.

  • Expanded local TTS (Piper):
    Added a range of multilingual voices. Users can now preview and select a voice, and combine it with STT’s language options for full local multilingual support.

  • Wake-up word (fixed):
    Now stable and configurable directly from settings.

  • New optional web search tool (Searxng):
    Works best with a local Searxng instance.

    Don't forget to allow JSON response format in searxng/settings.yml:

    search:
      formats:
        - html
        - json

    ⚠️ Most of the public instances disable JSON output or block bots/CORS, so reliability depends on your chosen server.

  • Linux:
    Still experimental — expect further updates soon.
