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.
