All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[1.1.2] - 2026-08-27

Added

• App info shows the Android installer package ID when the app was not installed by Zapstore

Fixed

[1.1.1] - 2026-07-25

Changed

• Clearer welcome copy on the search screen
• Store listing metadata (short/full description)

Fixed

• Amber session restore no longer decrypts the device-key backup on every cold start (#385)
• Trust dialog no longer hangs when the publisher has no kind-0 profile (#386)
• Paused download button shows a distinct paused state

[1.1.0] - 2026-07-17

Added

• Device key: portable encrypted device state, Amber key backup, and restart-safe PoW publishing for private device events
• Opt-in background auto-updates with Wi-Fi-only downloads and silent or staged installs
• App catalog relays as device-signed kind 10067 events
• NIP-56 app reporting from the overflow menu
• Local diagnostic logs with export/share
• Unmanaged apps on the Updates screen (#315)
• C1 proof verification before install
• CDN image variants (including profile pictures via CDN pubkey path)

Changed

• Latest releases are asset-first / offline-first again

• Narrower deep link handling
• Drop Linux and macOS platform targets

Fixed

[1.0.6] - 2026-04-11

Fixed

• Only block on actual signature mismatch

[1.0.5] - 2026-04-11

Changed

• Certificate verification errors now include Android version/API level and clearer expected vs actual hash details for troubleshooting
• Profile: refreshed icon and styling for the "Back up installed apps" setting

Fixed

• APK signing certificate verification reads the current signer in a way that matches publisher-declared hashes across more Android versions and OEM builds
• Catalog authority deletions (NIP-09): kind-5 events that reference replaceable coordinates via a tags now remove matching local events, not only explicit event IDs
• Stack cards: title area no longer reserves fixed two-line height when the name is shorter
• Latest releases: load the next page when the first page does not fill the viewport (short list / search context)

[1.0.4] - 2026-04-10

Added

• Backup and restore functionality for app collections (#20)

Changed

• Better latest release fetching with improved query performance

Fixed

• Latest releases query issues

[1.0.3]

Added

Fixed

[1.0.2] - 2026-04-06

Fixed

• Deep link handling
• "Can't zap" regression
• Version pill out of sync with installed/available state
