WA Archiver v1.9.1

Added

• Selective restore — "Choose chats…" next to Pull & restore (and in
  the snapshot history): the backup is pulled + decrypted first, then a
  picker lists its chats (search, select all/none, live summary) and only
  the chosen ones are restored — existing chats merge as before. Full
  restore remains the default path.
• PDF transcript export — "PDF document" in the chat export menu
  renders a clean A4 transcript (date separators, sender colors, reply
  quotes, reactions, starred/edited/pinned flags, media placeholders) and
  prints it through the system pipeline — Android print framework ("Save
  as PDF") in the APK, print dialog on desktop. Zero dependencies.
• One-tap APK download — the update-available toast gains a "Download
  APK" action that fetches the latest universal APK straight from GitHub
  Releases (silent failure handling, "View release" kept).
• Voice-note transcription sync — on-demand whisper transcripts now
  travel inside the encrypted backup: the server producer attaches
  transcript fields (from its AppSetting cache), the device producer
  from its localStorage cache; both importers restore them
  cross-transport (server ⇄ device). Absent field = no-op for old
  envelopes. Import results report transcriptsRestored.
• Monthly digest — new Insights section: pick any month and get a
  recap card (total messages, active days, busiest day, sent-by-you %,
  top emoji, top 3 chatters, fun fact) with its own 1080×1440 shareable
  PNG. Server mode falls back to a lite digest from existing stats.
• Snapshot file import (offline restore path) — "From file…" next to
  Pull & restore imports any previously saved encrypted .wasync snapshot
  straight from disk with just the sync passphrase — no cloud config needed.
  Completes the loop: cloud snapshot → Save file → share by any channel →
  import here. Incremental delta files are rejected with guidance (their
  chain lives in the cloud).
• Snapshot comparison viewer — "Compare" in the snapshot history shows
  what differs between a stored snapshot and the live cloud copy: chat and
  message totals on both sides, chats only in the snapshot, chats added
  since, and the biggest per-chat message deltas — read-only, nothing is
  restored.

Fixed

• Update-check toast teaser now skips markdown headers/link definitions and
  shows real release-note content.

Internationalization

• Insights dashboard and Media Hub fully localized: 141 new keys across
  en / hi / ur / mr / ta (KPIs, sections, tabs, toasts, empty states).
• Snapshot file import / compare viewer / selective restore / PDF export /
  update download / monthly digest strings localized — 59 new keys across
  en / hi / ur / mr / ta.

Full changelog: v1.9.0...v1.9.1

WA Archiver v1.9.0

Added

• Scheduled-message delivery on device (APK) — pending scheduled
  messages are mirrored to native Android notifications (AlarmManager via
  Capacitor Local Notifications): the reminder fires at deliverAt even when
  the app is closed, tapping it dispatches immediately and opens the chat.
  POST_NOTIFICATIONS / SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM / RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED wired
  in the manifest; the in-app 20 s poller stays the web delivery path.
• One-bundle multi-device transfer (QR / zip pairing) — "Move to
  another device" in the Cloud sync card packs the provider config + sync
  passphrase into one portable pairing code, shown as a QR (in-app camera
  scanner on Android/Chromium via BarcodeDetector) plus a copy-paste code.
  The receiving device adopts the config and pulls the SAME encrypted
  .wasync bundle — the last roadmap checkbox.
• Google Drive refresh-token flow — a real OAuth authorization-code
  exchange replaces paste-a-token on the web build: enter your own Google
  Cloud client id/secret once, hit "Connect Google Drive", consent, and the
  app lands back with a long-lived refresh token. Access tokens rotate
  themselves before every provider call (ensureFreshGdriveToken, with the
  same-origin /api/gdrive-oauth exchange proxy and a direct-endpoint
  fallback for the APK).
• S3 multipart uploads — encrypted envelopes larger than 8 MB stream to
  S3-compatible buckets in 8 MiB parts (CreateMultipartUpload → UploadPart →
  CompleteMultipartUpload, with orphan-part abort on failure), server proxy
  and device direct paths alike; >100 MB backups no longer ride a single PUT.
• Incremental .wasync pushes — optional hash-chained snapshot deltas:
  timestamped snapshots upload only chats whose content hash changed since
  the previous snapshot (full snapshot every 5th push; chain files survive
  pruning; restoring any delta walks its parent chain and merges up to a
  self-contained backup automatically).
• Selective per-chat cloud sync — "Sync only selected chats" filter so
  envelopes carry just the chats you pick (empty selection = everything).
• Snapshot picker: save to file — any cloud snapshot can now be
  downloaded as an encrypted .wasync file (off-site copies, air-gapped
  transfers) in one click, no decryption needed.
• Round-trip for reactions + reply threads — the .txt export now
  re-encodes reactions as real-WhatsApp-style reacted 👍 to "…" rows and
  replies as [Replied to Sender: quote] prefixes; the parser folds them
  back onto the right messages on import (device + server paths, with a
  bounded SQL fallback for quotes of pre-existing rows). The Verify
  round-trip report gained reaction / reply fidelity counters.
• Insights share card — one tap renders the dashboard headline numbers
  (messages, chats, media, words, top chatters, busiest days, emoji
  leaderboard, fun facts) as a 1080×1440 PNG; downloads locally or opens
  the native share sheet when available.
• Folder auto-rules — define title-regex rules in the folder manager;
  every new import is filed into the matching folder automatically (first
  match wins, case-insensitive, retro-fits existing chats when a rule is
  added).
• i18n pass — 28 new string keys for the v1.8/1.9 surfaces (cloud sync,
  transfer, folder rules, snapshots) translated into हिन्दी, اردو, मराठी and
  தமிழ் alongside English.
• Play badge prep — README carries a ready-to-uncomment Google Play
  badge and the app gains a PLAY_LISTING_URL constant; flip it when the
  Play listing is live.

Full changelog: v1.8.1...v1.9.0

WA Archiver v1.8.1

Added

• Cloud sync providers: Google Drive & S3 — the storage-adapter layer
  now has three interchangeable providers behind the same test / push /
  pull UI: WebDAV (as before), Google Drive v3 (paste an OAuth access
  token, optional destination folder) and any S3-compatible bucket
  (AWS SigV4 signing — works with AWS, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Minio).
  The provider only ever stores AES-GCM ciphertext.
• Auto-push on import/export — optional "sync automatically after
  every import/export" toggle in the Cloud sync card, so the cloud copy is
  never stale. The sync passphrase is kept device-local only when enabled;
  every background push toasts once when it lands.
• Multi-file snapshot history — every push can also store a
  timestamped wa-archiver-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.wasync snapshot; the oldest
  beyond the keep-count are pruned automatically, and any snapshot can be
  restored from a picker in the Cloud sync card (WebDAV, Drive and S3 all
  support list + delete through the adapter).
• Message changes panel — per-chat "Message changes" tool listing
  every local edit and unsend with before / after content and a timestamp
  (the audit trail behind the tombstones). Stored on-device, clearable.
• Export round-trip self-test — "Verify round-trip" in the export
  menu rebuilds the chat's .txt and re-parses it through the standard
  WhatsApp parser, then reports type-fidelity (e.g. location → location,
  contact → contact, deleted → deleted) with a per-type breakdown and an
  honest list of known losses.
• New launcher shortcuts — long-press the app icon to jump straight
  to the Media hub or Saved Messages (alongside Search, Import and
  Insights).
• CI release notes — versioned releases now append a "Full changelog"
  compare link (vPrev…vNew) under the CHANGELOG section, and the README
  carries a build-status badge.

Changed

• Device-mode .txt export reaches full parity — a new
  DataClient.getChatTranscript() merges pending scheduled sends into the
  transcript (their delivery time becomes the message time, flagged
  "[Scheduled for …]"), so the APK's per-chat and multi-chat .txt exports
  are byte-compatible with the server route's output (scheduled rows were
  previously web-only).

Full changelog: v1.8.0...v1.8.1

WA Archiver v1.8.0

Added

• Encrypted backups — optional passphrase on JSON backups. Downloads are
  sealed with AES-GCM-256 (PBKDF2-SHA256, 310k iterations, random salt+IV)
  entirely in the browser via WebCrypto; the passphrase never leaves the
  device. Restoring an encrypted file asks for the passphrase and rejects
  wrong ones without touching the database.
• Smart collections — three auto-computed, read-only chat folders:
  🖼️ Media (chats with media), ⏱️ Active this week, 📊 Biggest (top 5 by
  volume). No setup; they update live with the chat list.
• Per-chat themes — pick any of the 17 themes for a single chat from the
  Customize (wallpaper) popover. While that chat is open the whole look
  recolors; switching away snaps back to the app theme. Reset any time.

Changed

• mediaCount now counts every media-typed message, even when the file
  wasn't included in the export ("not in export" tiles) — the Media smart
  collection and chat badges reflect what the chat actually contains.
• Chat tools → "Media gallery" opens the global Media Hub (shared albums +
  date-range filter) pre-filtered to the current chat.

Fixed

• /api/media-index skipped media-typed messages without a stored file, so
  demo/synthetic media never appeared in the global Media Hub.

WA Archiver v1.7.0

Added

• Play Store App Bundle (.aab) — tag releases now also build a signed
  bundleRelease artifact (WA-Archiver-<tag>-release.aab), ready to
  upload to Google Play. Play does the per-device splitting (ABI, density,
  language) itself, so Play installs download only what they need.
• Auto-update checker — the app reads the GitHub Releases API (at most
  once a day, localStorage-throttled) and shows a one-time
  "new version available" toast with a link to the release page whenever a
  strictly newer version is published. Silent on every failure path —
  offline APKs never nag.
• Device-mode CSV & JSON chat export — the per-chat .csv /
  .json exports now also work fully offline in the APK: in device
  transport the file is built client-side from the on-device database with
  the exact same spreadsheet schema as the server route
  (idx, timestamp_iso, timestamp_local, sender, type, body, media_name, starred, edited, forwarded, pinned, reactions_summary).
• Starred-messages CSV export — third button in the starred dialog,
  same columns as the chat CSV so starred rows and full-chat exports can
  live in one spreadsheet.

Changed

• On-demand voice transcription (~19 MB off the APK) — the two ONNX
  Runtime WASM binaries are no longer bundled; public/whisper/ now ships
  only the transformers.js bootstrap (~0.9 MB) plus a manifest, and the
  runtime fetches the matching binaries from jsDelivr on first use
  (cached by the browser Cache API, so transcription still works offline
  after the first run). Set WHISPER_LOCAL_WASM=1 to restore the
  fully-bundled offline-out-of-the-box build. The ASR model (~45 MB)
  was already on-demand and is unchanged.
• Media Hub: date-range filter — from/to date pickers in the toolbar
  narrow the index to a period; a one-tap clear button resets it.

Added (Media Hub)

• Shared albums view — new view toggle (layers icon) re-groups the
  filtered media into "albums": bursts of media shared in one conversation
  split on 45-minute gaps, with cover thumbnail, chat name, date range and
  item count; opening an album shows the same tile grid with multi-select,
  ZIP export and the lightbox.

WA Archiver v1.6.0

Added

• Year-in-review share cards — the per-chat rewind dialog now exports a
  story-sized 1080×1350 PNG card: message count hero, busiest day, top
  month, longest streak, loudest voice, signature emoji and words typed —
  rendered fully on-device with the same teal-gradient look as the dialog.
• Starred-messages export — the starred dialog gains one-tap
  .txt and .json exports (timestamped, sender-attributed,
  filename slugged to the chat).
• Three new languages — उर्दू (Urdu), मराठी (Marathi), தமிழ் (Tamil) —
  the i18n layer now covers 5 languages × 277 strings with compile-time
  key parity. Urdu flips the whole interface RTL automatically.
• Per-ABI APK builds — releases now ship slim arm64-v8a,
  armeabi-v7a and x86_64 APKs alongside the universal one;
  pick the arm64 APK on any modern phone.

Changed

• APK size audit — removed the two never-used threaded ONNX Runtime
  WASM variants (the app is not cross-origin isolated and pins
  numThreads=1): whisper assets shrink 38 MB → 20 MB before
  compression, cutting the universal APK download.
  WHISPER_ALL_VARIANTS=1 restores them for special builds.
• Version drift fix: the in-app version now tracks package.json/gradle
  (1.6.0) — the About dialog no longer lags a release behind.

WA Archiver v1.5.1

Fixed

• Server & device JSON backups keep reply relationships — backup export
  now includes replyToId and restore writes it back (both the server
  SQLite transport and the on-device OPFS transport; backup format version
  bumped to 2, v1 files still restore). Reported with a full reproduction
  in issue #4 — thank you, @aichance!
• PDF / HTML exports render Devanagari everywhere — chats containing
  Hindi/Marathi/Nepali text embed a 45 KB subset of Noto Sans Devanagari
  (OFL 1.1) directly in the exported file, so print-to-PDF no longer shows
  tofu boxes on machines without Hindi fonts. Latin-only exports are
  unchanged and stay lightweight.

Added

• Word cloud PNG export — one tap in the word-cloud dialog re-renders
  the ranked cloud to a 2160px canvas (title, word-count subtitle, footer)
  and downloads it — fully on-device.
• Android launcher shortcuts — long-press the app icon for Import
  chats, Search messages and Insights (localized labels in English and
  हिन्दी; Android 7.1+, older versions simply don't show them).
• EXIF capture dates in the photo viewer — when a photo's embedded
  DateTimeOriginal differs from the send time, the Lightbox shows a
  "Captured" pill (e.g. an old photo re-shared years later). Reads only
  the first 128 KB of the file; never network-heavy, never blocking.
• हिन्दी copy pass — smoother, more natural phrasing across chat rows,
  import progress and display settings; the word-cloud dialog is now fully
  translated (it previously had hardcoded English).
• versionCode 7.

WA Archiver v1.5.0

Added — The power pack (18 upgrades)

• Bulk chat actions — multi-select chats from the sidebar (menu, hover action or long-press): delete, favorite, pin, move to folder and combined .txt export with per-chat headers.
• Import merge & dedup — re-importing an updated export offers "Merge into existing chat": title/source-file matching, per-message fingerprint dedup, and an honest "N new, M duplicates skipped" report (device and server transports).
• Web Worker parser — export parsing + zip text extraction moved off the main thread; large imports no longer freeze the UI. Automatic main-thread fallback.
• Real voice waveforms — voice notes decode actual audio peaks (48 buckets, LRU-cached) with the classic pseudo bars as fallback; seek/keyboard behavior unchanged.
• PWA offline fallback — branded offline page + service-worker navigation fallback (network-first; cache bumped to v3).
• Android open/share intents — the APK registers for .txt/.zip VIEW, SEND and SEND_MULTIPLE; files route into the import flow via a new JS bridge.
• Theme studio — visual preview cards for all 17 themes, "save current look" custom presets (theme + accent + bubble + density + wallpaper) with apply/delete, synced through personal-data transfer.
• i18n groundwork — locale framework with English + हिन्दी (61 keys), language picker in Settings, lang attribute sync; more surfaces migrate incrementally.
• Fastest repliers — new Insights panel: median reply time per person (6h window, ≥3 samples) plus your own median.
• Landing page — "Export from WhatsApp in 60 seconds" guide + 7-question FAQ.
• Full reactions grid — the long-press popup offers all 12 reactions in a 4×3 grid with a proper focus trap.
• Videos tab in the per-chat media gallery, with duration badges.
• New shortcuts — m opens the media hub, Ctrl/⌘+Shift+F searches across all chats; shortcut dialog updated.
• Release automation — tag builds extract the matching CHANGELOG section into the GitHub release body.
• Accessibility — long-press sheet focus trap, real version labels, checkbox roles in select mode, spoken-form aria labels on new panels.
• versionCode 6.
