This release adds microphone processing controls and local chat controls, expands platform packages, and synchronizes the website and guides. It also fixes native H.264 input/format handling, signaling recovery, fresh STUN discovery, and UDP ownership during overlapping connections. This is **v1.8.0**. Browser/Server v23, Native control v9 and capture v7 remain unchanged, with the existing 1440p ceiling. Additional resolutions, capability negotiation and Magicsock are separate follow-up work. ## Validation - Full local Web check: 79 files / 1,317 tests, TypeScript and production build. - Full Go checks, platform builds and Windows native capture regressions/probe. - Native H.264 Host lifecycle, Browser-to-App fanout and App-exit recovery, and Native H.264 through embedded SFU: all passed with owned process/port/profile cleanup. - Website build, documentation and repository hygiene passed. Existing UI acceptance covers narrow screens, both languages/themes, architecture downloads and all 23 film checks; final packaging and Go race checks run on the merged revision in CI. - Physical macOS/Linux capture, representative public networks and unmatched field reports retain their documented evidence limits. No claim that every blur/disconnection report is resolved. ## Release notes ### 中文 这是一次功能与兼容性更新:麦克风和聊天增加了实用的小选项,App 与 Server 支持更多设备,同时修复了原生分享和连接恢复中的若干问题。现有 1.x 协议保持不变。 #### 新增与改进 - 浏览器麦克风新增「降噪与回声消除」开关,默认开启回声消除、降噪和自动增益;分享音乐或使用虚拟音频输入时,可按需关闭。 - 可调整弹幕字号和透明度,并将当前保留的聊天记录导出为 TXT。当前会话最多保留 1,000 条文字消息,刷新页面后清空;需要保存时请先导出。 - 新增 Intel Mac、Linux ARM64 App,以及 Linux ARM64 Server 和容器镜像。官网下载区可直接选择对应架构,并显示最新版本和发布时间。 - 更新官网演示、README 截图和中英文教程,明确浏览器分享也可选择窗口或屏幕;开始分享前显示房间号占位,保持底栏控件位置稳定。 - 官网新增直达问题排查的入口,补充浏览器 WebRTC 限制、校园网和 Windows 显卡相关的排查步骤。 - App 模式选择页显示免费开源说明、作者与贡献者署名,以及官方网站和源码链接。 #### 修复 - 修正部分 H.264 原生分享的格式兼容性校验,以及 Windows 编码器输入长度和输出缓冲区对齐问题。 - 清理已失效的重连任务和 Native 接收信令,避免旧连接继续影响当前会话。 - 修复 App 重连时可能复用过期公网地址的问题;重新探测使用当前地址,并处理探测丢包和过期响应,保留其他正常连接。 - 修复 App 新旧媒体连接重叠时共用端口造成的冲突,避免准备或撤销新连接打断仍在使用的画面;关闭连接时及时取消未完成的端口映射请求。 - 无站点密码时,连接恢复不再误引导用户输入站点密码。 - 房间失效或会话终止时,开播前后的原因提示统一显示在电视状态图标中,避免额外提示条。 - 修正 Linux 原生采集的时间戳与关键帧时间基准。感谢 Pedro Antonio 在 [#449](https://github.com/TNTcraftHIM/Piik/pull/449) 的贡献。 #### 使用说明 下载对应平台的完整压缩包,退出旧 App 后解压使用。Windows 继续提供 x64;macOS 提供 Apple 芯片与 Intel 版本,原生采集需要 macOS 13 或更新版本。Linux 提供 x64 与 ARM64,原生采集还需安装[系统组件](https://github.com/TNTcraftHIM/Piik/blob/main/native/capture/linux/README.md)。macOS 和 Linux 的实机覆盖仍有限,欢迎反馈。 ### English This update adds useful microphone and chat controls, brings Piik to more devices, and fixes several native-sharing and connection-recovery issues. The existing 1.x protocols remain unchanged. #### New and improved - Browser microphones now have a “Noise & echo reduction” toggle. Echo cancellation, noise suppression and automatic gain control are on by default; turn them off when appropriate for music or virtual audio inputs. - Adjust chat-overlay text size and opacity, and export retained messages as TXT. The current session keeps up to 1,000 text messages and clears on page refresh; export first if you want to keep them. - Added Intel Mac and Linux ARM64 App packages, plus Linux ARM64 Server and container images. The website provides architecture selectors and shows the latest release and publication date. - Updated the website demonstration, README screenshots and bilingual guides, clarifying that browser capture can also select windows or screens. A room-code placeholder keeps the bottom bar stable before sharing starts. - Added direct website links to troubleshooting, with steps for browser WebRTC restrictions, campus networks and Windows graphics issues. - The App mode-selection page now shows its free and open-source status, author and contributor credit, and links to the official website and source. #### Fixes - Corrected H.264 format compatibility checks and Windows encoder input-length and output-buffer alignment handling. - Retired stale reconnect tasks and Native receive signals so they cannot continue affecting the current session. - Fixed App reconnection reusing an expired public address. Fresh discovery handles lost probes and stale responses while preserving other working connections. - Fixed UDP socket conflicts between overlapping App media connections so preparing or canceling a replacement preserves the active picture. Closing a connection now cancels unfinished gateway mapping requests. - Connection recovery on passwordless sites no longer incorrectly asks for a site passphrase. - Expired-room and session-termination reasons now use the same TV status indicator before and during sharing, without an extra notice strip. - Corrected Linux native capture timestamps and keyframe time bases. Thanks to Pedro Antonio for [#449](https://github.com/TNTcraftHIM/Piik/pull/449). #### Updating Download the complete archive for your platform, quit the old App, and extract the new package. Windows remains x64-only. macOS packages support Apple silicon and Intel; native capture requires macOS 13 or newer. Linux supports x64 and ARM64 and requires additional [system components](https://github.com/TNTcraftHIM/Piik/blob/main/native/capture/linux/README.md) for native capture. Physical-device coverage on macOS and Linux remains limited; feedback is welcome. ## Attribution Co-authored-by: Pedro Antonio <wrenchwastaken@gmail.com>

Current Status
Last updated: 2026-10-04
This is the compact execution/deployment index. Product modules own behavior, verification status owns unresolved physical limits, and Git/PRs own completed history.
Accepted Release Contract
- Browser/server v23, Native control v9 and capture v7 form the current contract. Versioning owns compatibility between published Web/App/Server versions.
- Hosted Server defaults to SQLite schema 2. Room authority has no inactivity expiry; explicit replacement/deletion or grant rotation/revocation ends the corresponding authority. Explicit memory mode and App Local end rooms at process exit. Site access retains its separate 24-hour idle lifetime within one service run; service restart requires site-password entry again.
- Browser/App entry lifecycle and current-edge reconnect ownership repairs are implemented. Browser node-local pooling and detailed local Debug export remain part of the accepted media surface. Product modules own their behavior; configuration owns Debug activation, report contents and disclosure.
- Shared feedback composition is implemented: generic loading uses the wink mascot, concrete media waits use their owning comic, and waiting captions are secondary to literal status. Website reduced-motion preference and player tooltip placement follow the same presentation owners.
- Camera sharing and Host microphone commentary are accepted product features. Both Browser and native App audio use the existing media routes; device selection and sharing settings keep their current resource owners. The capture assessment owns platform behavior and the remaining physical evidence limits.
Website delivery includes a bilingual reader documentation center generated from the repository's guides alongside the homepage, with search and detailed troubleshooting separate from the homepage FAQ.
Accepted Interaction Phase
The accepted room-interaction design includes the verified media repairs. It adds authenticated text and reactions over existing signaling, with optional local chat overlay and a shared floating panel. Its opted-in room session can outlive a publication; capture, quality and route owners remain unchanged. Optional Windows screen-audio exclusion uses the existing source/mixer boundary. Hosted Server also accepts an optional SFU-only policy through the same route controller. Windows native capture and thumbnails now share automatic HDR-to-SDR conversion; synthetic GPU and Browser reception checks pass, with physical HDR display acceptance still pending in verification status. Room voice is outside the product plan; Host microphone commentary remains. These features are published; physical device limits remain open. Release artifacts and operator deployment records own delivery completion; TODO owns remaining work.
Current Candidate
The owner authorized v1.8.0 publication on 2026-10-04. This phase retains the published protocols and 1440p ceiling; immutable release artifacts own delivery completion. Follow-up work reviews extension boundaries, implements 4K and more resolutions with capability negotiation, then develops Native Magicsock NAT traversal. The isolated transport experiment is not part of v1.8.0; its product integration and connectivity benefit still require verification. TODO owns remaining work and later release authorization.
Deployment
Source, package identity, GitHub repository and local worktree paths use Piik.
Runtime code keeps only the Piik wire labels and stored keys.
The immutable release descriptor, runtime REVISION and operator deployment
record own exact identity and postflight results.
The existing deployment uses one Go process for Web, room authority/signaling, Binding-only STUN on UDP 3478/3479/3480 and optional SFU on UDP 7882. nginx owns HTTPS; external LiveKit/coturn services remain disabled. Participants, routes and media remain process-only. This private service is not a public demonstration.
The separate US public demo is deployed with open site entry, persistent room authority and P2P-only media. Cloudflare fronts HTTP/WSS and caches static bundles; STUN uses a separate DNS-only hostname. Caddy owns origin HTTPS, and the standard systemd service runs the published Server package. Public DNS, HTTPS, runtime assets, all three STUN listeners and a bounded browser P2P sharing/stop check passed; the browser check used synthetic video on one network. The operator record owns exact identity and postflight evidence.
TODO owns remaining verification and follow-up work. The owner declared the first
public release on 2026-09-12. Source is public, main protection is active, and
piik.tv runs on GitHub Pages behind Cloudflare with HTTPS. The private service
remains a separate deployment. Release descriptors and GitHub deployment records
identify published artifacts and website revisions.
The matching Server and three App packages are published on GitHub and Gitee; anonymous mirror downloads match the original checksums. Public-repository CI and native packaging passed. App entry, update links and bounded two-build interoperability have acceptance evidence. Accepted product changes publish automatically; standalone website and documentation changes validate and deploy the website without creating App/Server versions. GitHub/Gitee release comparison, mirror publishing and PR-sourced notes follow versioning. Verification status owns the remaining physical limits; shared lessons live in engineering.
Media Evidence And Limits
- Compatible Native consumers share one complete stock WebRTC encoding and adaptation pipeline per local output. Different weak demands stay independent; suitable received media can be forwarded without decoding/re-encoding. Pion/LiveKit retain transport, estimation, pacing and forwarding ownership.
- Windows H264/VP8 have bounded encoding/adaptation evidence. Actual Native relay checks cover compatible sharing, weak-budget separation and rejoining, source retirement and large encoded-frame delivery. These results do not establish a universal encoder count, CPU saving or Browser-equivalent quality.
- Windows Host acceptance covers live and paused settings, quiet-source preparation/restore, source changes and subsequent sharing. The owner confirmed Windows 10 whole-display capture resolved. Specific new game/device failures should be reopened from new evidence.
- Native Host publication through embedded SFU retains video/audio; Browser to App fanout and App-exit fallback have bounded physical checks. Two independent Native sessions have simultaneous media/retirement evidence.
- The Linux runtime container has non-root/read-only, memory/SQLite, diagnostic export, STUN and listener-lifecycle evidence. This does not establish every operator's proxy/firewall or public-media configuration.
- The independent Browser producer in ADR-0014 is integrated. Bounded H264/VP8 checks cover direct and received-track sharing, weak-child isolation/recovery, live/quiet settings, pause, source change and ordinary fallback. Its native allocation and complete-frame output replace the earlier payload-only Worker path. Fewer full encodes are established; total CPU gains depend on codec/hardware. Browser research owns these measurements and failed controls. The owner accepted this scoped Browser composition for release; actual deployment identity stays in the runtime descriptor.
- Slow adaptation recovery, the extreme CPU-overload sampling limit and missing broad device/network/endurance results remain explicit in encoder research and verification status. macOS/Linux physical capture is deferred by the owner; Windows App and Browser are this phase's primary targets.
