v1.1.0.8 Release of the native UI.

Changelog:

• [FEATURE] Added float64 setting parsing (Needed to show float values in advanced settings)
• [TASK] Added realtime settings
• [TASK] Renamed Speech detection Level to "speech volume level" to hopefully make it more clear what it does. (that is, only trigger transcription when that volume level is reached.)
• [TASK] Remove LLM configs
• [TASK] Add all possible precision options for faster-whisper. (float16 should be still the best option for reduced memory and still good quality)
• [TASK] Enable faster-whisper by default
• [TASK] Update Readme
• [TASK] Set a default text_translation target language.
• [TASK] Added option to not run the python backend. (useful if the UI should only connect to an already running backend, possibly on a different machine.)
• [BUGFIX] Show correct percentage if a previously interrupted download is resumed.

v1.1.0.7

v1.1.0.7 Release of the native UI.

Changelog:

• [TASK] Change FP16 checkbox to Select since faster-whisper supports more than FP16 and FP32
• [TASK] Expose Beam_size, cpu_threads and num_workers options for whisper

faster-whisper with int8_float16 precision and a smaller Beam_size (which can be set in the advanced settings) should make it really fast.
