Delta Chat patches a Team Profile regression and moves its Tauri build out of the repo.
The desktop client runs on a roughly weekly cadence. 2.59.0 added reactions on channel posts, a hideable window menu bar and experimental Team Profiles; 2.59.1 followed eight days later to fix messages staying unread when read from another device, a regression affecting profiles created with Team Profile enabled. The same patch adds Arabic, Telugu and Slovenian, and moves the Tauri edition to its own repository.
Krisp adds deepfake detection and expands Voice Translation as its Call Center AI platform deepens enterprise compliance tools.
Krisp has shifted from a personal noise-cancellation app to a B2B Call Center AI platform, shipping weekly web updates and biweekly desktop releases. The current product spans real-time Voice Translation across 12+ languages including Cantonese and Valencian, Accent Conversion with per-regional models, and admin-layer tools including Conditional Call Recording, Live Call Audit enforcement, and a new Notification Center. A lower-cost evaluation tier appeared in August, suggesting friction at the top of the sales funnel.

The same patch adds Arabic, Telugu and Slovenian, and moves the Tauri edition to its own repository.
The client is in a broadening phase - channel reactions, Team Profiles as an opt-in experiment, and continued keyboard and accessibility work carried forward from 2.53.0. Splitting out the Tauri edition indicates the Electron build remains the one that ships while the alternative develops at its own pace instead of gating releases. Language coverage keeps widening, which for this project is as much a distribution decision as a localisation one.
The 2.59.1 notes promise a more elaborate fix for the Team Profile unread bug in the coming weeks, so expect that in the next minor rather than another patch.

The update cadence and content point at enterprise expansion: each weekly batch adds granular admin controls, API access for audit data, and new BPO visibility tools. Voice Translation language coverage is widening consistently. Deepfake risk visibility—added in the most recent batch—signals Krisp moving into a trust-and-compliance layer for AI-assisted calls, not just audio quality.
The deepfake detection work is nascent; expect it to grow into a standalone compliance dashboard. Enterprise RFPs increasingly require call-authenticity guarantees, and Krisp's audio-layer position gives it a defensible angle on that problem that CRM or WFM vendors can't replicate.
