Good day, and welcome to Buzz Transcription for August 24th, 2026.
Today's activity is small but tidy: two changes, both aimed at consolidation rather than new capability.
First, file handling. PR 1595, from contributor openaudible, adds support for m4b audiobook files, m4v, and aac — formats that previously couldn't be selected in the file dialog and were silently skipped by the watched folder feature. The more important fix here is structural: the file dialog filters and the…
Second, foundational maintenance. PR 1594, merged by raivisdejus, is a Python upgrade touching a wide swath of the project — CI, documentation, the pip utilities, the loader, the FAQ, and installation instructions. The breadth suggests this wasn't a quick version bump but a coordinated update across build and setup…
Taken together, these two changes share a theme: reducing places where configuration or logic could quietly diverge — whether that's two extension lists falling out of sync, or Python tooling scattered across CI, docs, and install scripts.
What's next: if you maintain a watched folder setup or rely on m4b audiobook imports, expect that to now work correctly. And if your local dev environment or CI…
