Ships the dialog reorganisation and mnemonic adjustments from
commit 45b709d. No wire-format or audio-pipeline changes — v1.3 and
v1.4 peers interoperate.

About dialog gets a v1.4 release-notes block; csproj Version
property bumped 1.3.0 → 1.4.0; RELEASE_NOTES.md rewritten with the
v1.4 highlights and a one-paragraph upgrading-from-v1.3 note (clean
auto-update via Help → Check for updates is now expected to work on
Dropbox-installed copies since v1.3's helper hardening took effect).

RemSound v1.4

Recording-settings dialog cleanup and a few mnemonic adjustments. No wire-format or audio-pipeline changes — v1.4 and v1.3 peers interoperate.

Highlights

Recording settings dialog reorganised

Channel mode is now its own dedicated listbox (Alt+C) instead of being folded into every attribute row. The per-format attribute lists shrink correspondingly:
- WAV — 6 rows → 3 (16-bit PCM / 24-bit PCM / 32-bit float)
- MP3 — 8 rows → 4 (128 / 192 / 256 / 320 kbps CBR)
- OGG-Opus — 8 rows → 4 (96 / 128 / 192 / 256 kbps VBR)
- FLAC — 4 rows → 2 (16-bit / 24-bit)
FLAC compression level (0..8) now selectable in its own listbox (Alt+L). Previously hard-fixed at the libFLAC default of 5. The list is only shown when the file format is FLAC, with friendly tags on the endpoints (0 — fastest encode, biggest file, 5 — default (libFLAC reference), 8 — slowest encode, smallest file). All levels produce bit-identical lossless audio — it's a pure encode-time vs file-size trade-off.

Start / Stop recording is now Alt+O, R (was Alt+O, S). Matches the Ctrl+R global toggle so the same letter does the same job from either entry point. The underline stays on a literal R as the label flips between "Start recording" and "Stop recording".
Recording settings is now Alt+O, S (was Alt+O, T). Reads more naturally now that the R slot is freed.
Open folder (Alt+O, O) and Change folder (Alt+O, C) unchanged.

Dialog mnemonic adjustment

The Cancel button in the Recording settings dialog now uses Alt+N (Ca&ncel) rather than the conventional Alt+C, so the Channels listbox can take Alt+C as its natural letter. Esc still dismisses the dialog the way it always has.

Install

Download RemSound-v1.4.zip from this release.
Extract somewhere with write permission (e.g. C:\RemSound\, Documents\RemSound\, etc.). Avoid Program Files unless you grant write permission so the self-updater can replace files in place.
Run RemSound.exe. Allow on private networks when Windows Firewall prompts.
Press F1 (or use the Help menu) for the user manual.

Requires the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime. If it's missing, Windows offers to fetch it on first launch.

Upgrading from v1.3 inside a Dropbox folder

Should work cleanly via Help → Check for updates. v1.3 introduced the hardened helper (60-second retry window, exit-code check, no silent rollback) so the Dropbox-lock window is no longer a problem. If you're on v1.0/v1.1/v1.2 in a Dropbox folder, see the v1.3 release notes for the one-time manual install steps — once on v1.3 or later, future auto-updates are reliable.
