Orbit v0.3.2-beta

Version: v0.3.2-beta
Commit: b5ac248
Built: 2026-07-28

Note: This is not a stable release — latest development version with experimental features.

Bug Fixes

• Android Crash-on-Launch Fixed (3 bugs) — styles.xml was missing mandatory SplashScreen attributes (crash on cold start). registerPlugin(OrbitP2PPlugin.class) was called after super.onCreate() — moved before it. colors.xml was entirely missing — created it.
• Profile Card Real-Time Update Fixes (4 bugs) — Duplicate DOM IDs in profile sheet vs panel renamed to avoid collisions. Cropped image hero preview not updating after save — added inline DOM update. Avatar mistakenly used for banner background (var banner referencing avatar URL) — fixed. Profile pill never updated on save — wired up the update.
• Status Text Color Fix (Profile Pill) — Status text appeared gray on startup because getStatusColor() from app.js wasn't loaded yet. Fixed by adding a local statusColors map in home-screen.js's renderProfilePill(). Status change handler now also sets pill text color.
• Mobile Gallery Bug Fixes (7 bugs) — Null guards on gallery button bindings (crashed if elements missing); null checks in showGallery/hideGallery; Blob URL memory leak in lightbox (video/audio blob URLs now revoked on navigation and close); filter index mismatch (clicking an image in "Images" filter opened wrong item from full list); date-group visual order mismatch (items grouped by date/section were stored in message order — visual indices and data indices diverged causing wrong media to open); missing @keyframes scaleIn animation; lightbox close button now respects safe-area-top for notched devices.

UI Polish

• Frame Picker Redesigned (Mobile) — Changed from full-screen flex backdrop to a compact fixed-position bottom sheet (position:fixed;bottom:0;left:0;width:100%;max-height:75vh) appended to backdrop with slideUp CSS animation, guarded by _framePickerOpen flag to prevent double-opens.
• Frame Preview in Button Fixed — Removed position:absolute;top:-16%;left:-16% from frame image and overflow:hidden from container. Frame now flexbox-centered without being clipped by the circular avatar edge.
• Status Selection (Mobile) — Added <select> dropdown with 4 statuses (Online, Away, Do Not Disturb, Offline). Saves to store and broadcasts BEACON immediately.
• "Busy" Status Removed — Removed from both mobile status selector and desktop profile-card.js.
• Desktop Status Icons Updated — Changed to filled colored circles instead of text indicators.

Search Enhancement

• Mobile Search Categorized Results — Search results now organized into Chats (ongoing conversations), Friends (friends list), and Messages (message content matches) sections with count headers.
• Text Highlighting — Matched search terms highlighted with accent color via _highlightText() helper.
• Recent Searches — Last 5 searches stored in MStore.settings.recentSearches, shown on input focus. Empty state prompt when no searches exist.
• Focus Handler — Input focus now shows recent searches or a prompt to type, replacing the previous always-active results view.
• CSS Added — New styles in mobile.css for .search-results-* and .recent-search-* classes.

Technical

• Version: Bumped to v0.3.2-beta across all manifests.

Orbit v0.3.1-beta

Version: v0.3.1-beta
Commit: 983c814
Built: 2026-07-26

Note: This is not a stable release — latest development version with experimental features.

Bug Fixes

• Android Immersive Mode Fixed — Taskbar now correctly hides on all Android versions. Root cause: Capacitor's SystemBars plugin was calling show() after immersive mode. Fixed by adding SystemBars.hidden: true to Capacitor config, installing SplashScreen API, adding onResume()/onWindowFocusChanged() lifecycle handlers, null-safe getInsetsController(), and proper FLAG_FULLSCREEN for legacy API levels.
• Real-Time Profile Card Updates Fixed — Profile cards now properly update when a friend changes their avatar, banner, bio, or profile frame. Fixed 4 bugs: desktop never broadcast a BEACON after profile changes (added broadcastBeacon IPC bridge), mobile saveProfileChanges() never sent a BEACON to peers (now sends Orbit.P2P.send()), both platforms used truthy checks (if (bp.avatar)) that blocked null propagation for removed avatars/banners.
• Mobile Startup Performance Improved — No longer loads all chat messages into memory at startup (only loads last active chat). Blob restoration exits early when no _blobKey entries exist. Image cropper lazy-loaded instead of blocking parser.
• DM Avatar Rendering on Quick Switch Fixed — closeChat() timeout no longer strips open/active classes after openChat() sets them. Friend lookup now strips dm_ prefix from chatId.

UI Polish

• Image Cropper Redesigned — Modern premium look with Lucide icons, checkerboard preview background, rule-of-thirds grid, corner handles, gradient Apply button, smooth entrance animations.
• Removed Decorative Rings from Avatar Crop — Clean minimal look: just a sharp white circle border, no spinning/dashing/glowing rings.
• Smooth Zoom for Cropper — Finer zoom steps (slider 0.01, buttons 5%, scroll 2%), GPU-accelerated sub-pixel image positioning.
• Bottom Sheet Safe Area Cleaned — Removed var(--safe-area-bottom) padding from all bottom sheets (no longer needed with working immersive mode).

Technical

• Version: Bumped to v0.3.1-beta across all manifests.
• Android Sync: npx cap sync android completed — web assets synced to Capacitor Android project.

Orbit v0.3.0-beta

Version: v0.3.0-beta
Commit: c291268
Built: 2026-07-24

Note: This is not a stable release — latest development version with experimental features.

Image Cropper (Desktop + Mobile)

• Shared Image Cropper — New shared/ui/image-cropper.js module with drag, zoom (slider + pinch + wheel), rotate 90° CW/CCW, mirror, and reset. Integrated into desktop avatar/banner inputs and mobile profile sheet.
• Avatar Circular Crop Guide — Three-level SVG mask (dimmed corners, transparent circle) with dashed circle border for precise avatar framing.
• Zoom & Centering Fixes — Drag proportional to zoom level; image sized-to-fit (Math.min); base centering offset separated from user drag offset.

Mobile Improvements

• Gallery A/V Playback Fixed — data:→blob: URL conversion in openLightbox() enables native Android WebView playback of base64-encoded media.
• Real-Time Profile Overlay Refresh — Beacon handlers call refreshProfileOverlay() so profile cards update immediately on friend changes.
• Immersive Mode — MainActivity.java enableImmersiveMode() hides system bars on full-screen content (Android 7+).
• Input Box Draft Saving — Chat draft auto-saved to localStorage (debounced 300ms), restored on chat switch, cleared on send.

Desktop Improvements

• Real-Time Profile Card Updates — profile-card.js watches friends array — open cards re-render when friend avatar/name/bio updates via beacon.
• Receiving Audio/Video Progress — File transfers show "Receiving Audio..." or "Receiving Video..." with appropriate Lucide icons based on extension detection.
• Input Box Draft Saving — Same localStorage draft save/restore/clear pattern, cross-session.

Release Signing & Security

• GitHub Actions Release Workflow — 5 parallel build jobs (Linux, Windows, macOS, Android) + sign step that generates SHA256SUMS.txt, GPG-signs it, and uploads everything to a GitHub Release on tag push.
• GPG Signing — Release artifacts verified with Orbit Release Key. Key setup docs in security/README.md.
• Security Policy — SECURITY.md with supported versions and vulnerability reporting.
• Verification Docs — README.md "Release Verification" section with copy-paste commands.

Orbit v0.2.9-beta

Version: v0.2.9-beta
Commit: 36f299a
Built: 2026-07-22

Note: This is not a stable release — latest development version with experimental features.

Mobile Settings Additions

• App Zoom Slider — New zoom slider (50–200%, default 100%) in Appearance → Text & Layout, matching desktop functionality. Stored as appZoom in settings.
• Disable Light Mode Flashbang Toggle — New "Disable Light Mode Flashbang" toggle in Appearance. When enabled, switching to a Light theme skips the brightness warning dialog entirely. Stored as noFlashbang in settings.
• Light Mode Flashbang Warning — When the user selects a Light theme (Light, Solarized Light, etc.) while the flashbang toggle is disabled, a themed warning dialog appears explaining the sudden brightness change, with a "Don't show again" option that auto-enables the noFlashbang setting.
• GitHub Links in About — "GitHub Repository" (opens repo URL) and "Report an Issue" (opens issues page) links added to the About section with Lucide icons.

Desktop Global Gallery Layout Fix

• Scroll Wrapper Separation — The global gallery now wraps each display mode (grid, compact, masonry, list) in a dedicated overflow-y: auto scroll container, separated from the inner layout <div>. This prevents layout breakage when the gallery holds more than 10–20 items. Previously the layout container and scroll wrapper were the same element, causing flex/grid layout conflicts under overflow scroll.

Fixes

• Experimental Card Icon Fixed — The Experimental card in mobile settings now renders correctly. Lucide renamed flask to flask-conical in v1.17.0, and the old icon name was silently failing (rendering nothing).
• Mobile Store Defaults — Added noFlashbang: false and appZoom: 1.0 defaults in store.js settings.
• Flashbang Dialog Render Path — added data-flashbang-disable checkbox handler, confirmed Flashbang dialog triggers only on Light theme selection (not System/Auto).

Technical

• Version: Bumped to v0.2.9-beta across all manifests (workspace root, desktop, mobile).
• Version Sync: mobile/package.json set to 0.2.9-beta, version.js auto-regenerated via npm run version:sync.
• Android Sync: npx cap sync android completed — web assets synced to Capacitor Android project.

Orbit v0.2.8-beta

Version: v0.2.8-beta
Commit: 0c22c9c
Built: 2026-07-21

Note: This is not a stable release — latest development version with experimental features.

Settings Redesign

• Card-Based Settings Items — All details items across 7 sections now render as .settings-item-card with Lucide icons, gradient 36×36 icon containers, data-search attribute for filtering, and consistent card layout with icon, title, description, and action area.
• Settings Search Bar — New #search-settings input filters settings cards by data-search attribute (case-insensitive partial match). Search is scoped to the current section. "No matching settings" empty state shown when no results.
• Settings Search Cleanup — Input cleared on section entry and when navigating back to overview.
• Card Styling Polish — Cards rendered flush against panel background (removed extraneous border/bg/border-radius).

Message & Animation Fixes

• Message Re-Animation on Refresh Fixed — Removed base .message-row CSS animation (was causing all messages to re-animate on every re-render). Implemented existingMsgIds DOM snapshot before re-render and granular data-msg-anim attribute only on genuinely new messages.
• Auto-Scroll Not Reaching Bottom Fixed — Removed scroll-behavior: smooth from message feed (interferes with programmatic scrollTop). Added deferred re-scroll (150ms) after initial scrollTop = scrollHeight to catch lazy-loaded images, Lucide SVGs, and media players.
• Desktop Message Animation Fix — Same existingMsgIds + data-msg-anim strategy ported to desktop chat-panel.js. Old brute-force animation: none suppression removed. CSS updated to use .message-row[data-msg-anim] attribute selector.

UI Polish

• Own Message Background Consistency — Changed own message bubble from accent blue (var(--accent-primary)) to theme surface color (var(--bg-surface)) on both platforms. Both own and other messages now share the same surface color, differentiated only by alignment (right vs left). Desktop inline style updated accordingly.
• Message Text Color Unified — Own messages changed from hardcoded color: #fff to color: var(--text-primary) on both platforms, matching the text color of other users' messages for visual consistency.
• Light Mode Text Cache-Busting — Added ?v=20260721 query parameter to all theme CSS <link> tags in both mobile/src/index.html and desktop/src/index.html to force fresh CSS load after light-mode text color fix.
• App Version Auto-Detection — Created mobile/src/js/version.js auto-generated from mobile/package.json via npm run version:sync. About section now reads window.APP_VERSION || '0.2.8-beta' — eliminating stale hardcoded versions.

Technical

• Version: Bumped to v0.2.8-beta across all manifests.
• Platforms: Mobile (Android) + Desktop — both platforms updated with UI polish fixes.
• Android Sync: npx cap sync android run to copy web assets to Capacitor Android project.

Commit: 24a7de8
Built: 2026-07-16
