Updates
Even death stars have an exhaust vent.
Stable views during Library refresh
Fixes
- Keep toolbar counts, search results, Friends details and Map popups visible while same-scope Library reads refresh
- Block pending or obsolete search and identity actions until their current selection and results are ready
- Retain one bounded suggestion window during refresh and preserve exact signed recovery retries after an ambiguous result
- Feed cards load image thumbnails lazily through existing media URLs and memory-pressure safeguards
- Preserve seen confirmations through bounded Desktop and PWA reads
- Keep navigation counts tied to one coherent Library state and retain verified counts while refreshing.
- Show elapsed backup time in the update notification and Settings.
- Keep discovered accounts out of the tracked relationship graph and open their Map location without creating a connection.
- Keep mobile Settings navigation within the available screen height.
- Avoid counting every checkpoint record during routine Library sync checks.
- Record bounded timing for Library checkpoint preparation
- Opening, saving and processing linked articles now uses their stored article link
Follow-ups
- Installed view stability and responsiveness still require verification on the signed build
- Existing provider sync schedules, authentication and AI preferences are unchanged
- Dormant Library authority and seen-host activation remain disabled
- The separate Saved Back repair and durable writer-admission proof remain follow-ups
- Full checkpoint preparation retains complete validation and can still take time
- Installed startup and manual responsiveness verification remain separate from synthetic benchmarks
- Priority and social diagnostics remain off; provider and schema activation boundaries are unchanged
- This build adds attribution; no reduction in stalls or CPU use is claimed
- The elapsed timer reports time spent; it does not shorten a full Library backup.
- Installed responsiveness and count stability still require verification on the signed build.
- Existing AI preferences and provider schedules are unchanged.
- Writer admission delays remain a separate investigation
Stable map totals and better visibility into startup work
Features
- Report bounded native capture admission evidence
- Deliver signed and PWA transfer acceptance builds
- Isolated multi-desktop acceptance builds
Fixes
- Preserve resolved map header counts when unrelated Library events arrive
- Reader, feed, and header polish
- Show Library backup preparation before downloading an update
- Capture and scraper reliability fixes
- Report unsupported long-task monitoring as unavailable
- Keep signed preview and transfer-acceptance assets out of ordinary updater manifests
- Preserve primary and existing preview credential-service identities
- Keep large changed-post refresh batches from overwhelming local reads
- Optimized repeated work during Library snapshot hashing and archive writing
- Retain known feed counts during refreshes and distinguish unavailable counts from an empty Library
- Retain identity in first renderer heartbeat
- Isolate signed measurement profiles and credential services
- Keep ordinary Facebook captions when recommendation words appear outside the post header
- Reject split Instagram Sponsored headers while retaining longer organic labels
- Preserve manual map navigation while pins load and verify selected Library authority on one configured connection
Follow-ups
- Reader, sidebar, and settings UX work
- Release workflow and build-system work
- Transfer-acceptance builds remain separate opt-in test artifacts; ordinary Library transfer and schema-v2 operations remain disabled
- Sync, cloud, and pairing infrastructure
- Capture, login, and scraping platform work
- Clearer update status and accurate item totals during refresh
- Facebook and Instagram completeness and sponsored-ad exclusion remain under verification
- More accurate Facebook and Instagram header filtering while preserving organic captions
- Live Facebook and Instagram acceptance remains scoped to observed placements with explicit paid-provenance evidence
- High native CPU remains under investigation; this social update does not include pending performance fixes
- Isolate parallel Jev budget test ledgers
- Priority and social pass diagnostics remain default-off; sampled native startup stages are included without a CPU or latency improvement claim
Jev spending controls and local GLiClass previews arrive with more reliable social capture and cheaper settled ranking refreshes.
Features
- Try Jev with a personal key and conservative USD1 daily and USD10 calendar-month spending limits.
- Run GLiClass Base locally with verified official model downloads and no hosted fallback.
Fixes
- Retain richer Facebook captures for existing post links.
- Reject contradictory social admission and recognize exact Instagram Sponsored headers in feeds and Stories.
- Scope Instagram recommendation labels to feed headers, preserving ordinary captions.
- Keep title, image and replies tied to the selected post.
- Stop FPS diagnostics sampling hidden windows and counting hidden time as dropped frames.
- Settled ranking refreshes reuse the priority/time index, with full scans when state is uncertain
- Refuse Library signing transactions when SQLite durability is weakened.
- Keep authority-changing Library transfer and consumer recovery unavailable in ordinary builds.
Follow-ups
- GLiClass remains a preview with a bounded session cache; durable background classification is not included.
- Social fallback identities and live capture completeness still need follow-up.
- Library transfer and schema-v2 lifecycle activation require a separate owner decision before they can be enabled.
Clearer Saved filters, incremental device sync, and more reliable Library recovery.
Features
- Freed Desktop can join an existing Library as a consumer device.
- Desktop and PWA devices can catch up through incremental operations.
- Joined devices report synchronization progress.
Fixes
- Saved titles now name active filters, such as Saved Inspiring and News, and return to Saved when Everything is selected.
- Saved bookmarks remain visible after browsing Friends without inheriting the Friends-only view.
- Desktop and PWA retain pending edits while refreshing Library checkpoints.
- Desktop retains sync ownership until canceled work has settled.
- PWA setup and Drive synchronization recover more reliably from interrupted transfers and device enrollment conflicts.
- Drive credentials refresh during long PWA transfers, and sync status reports active stages and the last successful completion.
- Google Contacts recovers from expired synchronization tokens.
- Compact headers, reader controls, and phone landscape layouts keep actions accessible.
- Demo Libraries restore sample thumbnails, maps, and grouped stories.
v26.9.1400Latest
More reliable Google Drive transfers and synchronized edits.
Fixes
- Checkpoint and operation sync now share the enrolled writer identity, fixing accepted PWA edits blocked by an invalid writer error.
- Refresh Google Drive credentials during long transfers so checkpoint imports can continue after the original access token expires.
- Device enrollment now recovers from a verified checkpoint when an older client retained a different local request.
- Accept the complete saved and archived state returned by Freed Desktop when clearing an optimistic PWA edit.
