release notes

Hello,

I've been building this R wrapper around whisper.cpp (https://github.com/bnosac/audio.whisper) using a modified version of your main.cpp and all seem to work find on Windows/Mac/Linux which is great.
In order to create this wrapper and make it CRAN - worthy. I always need to do quite some manual work in order use R-specific elements like

• rewrite abort statements
• change fprintf > Rprintf and printf > Rprintf statements
• replace the use of stderr to Rcout
• change the fflush to something specific to Rcpp

You can see these fixes at bnosac/audio.whisper#1

I'm planning to release to CRAN once I've tested for possible memory leaks using valgrind and address sanitizers and once that is done, it would be nice if I could somehow upgrade based on a specific version of whisper.cpp.
I see you put here https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/blob/930c693989230cbae27519ed7141b67f49b1ca38/CMakeLists.txt#L2 some release number.

What would be nice for me next to that is somehow some kind of changelog or news file which indicates from a high-level point of view what has been changed in each version.

I see e.g. in 1.0.3 that you added easier detection of voiceless signals which will make the implementation be less stuck in the 1 second 'whisper_full: failed to generate timestamp token - using fallback strategy' iteration. I think such things are great for a release or change log.
It would be nice if that existed.
