HNS Browser v0.2.2

HNS Browser v0.2.2

Production cleanup build for Google Play closed testing.

• Keeps active sync polling from being triggered by estimated-tip drift alone; active polling now requires a known higher peer height, active accepted progress, or explicit syncing state.
• Removes the general Diagnostics shortcut from the main browser menu; Diagnostics remains available through Settings.
• Tightens toolbar status layout so security/sync text does not crowd the omnibar on small devices.
• Clarifies Strict HNS mode wording around compatibility DoH fallback.
• Adds a production readiness audit and a no-dependency Play closed-testing upload helper.

Validation:

• :app:testDebugUnitTest
• :app:verifyPlayReleaseBundle
• :app:assembleRelease
• AAB includes arm64-v8a and x86_64 native libraries.
• APK verified with APK Signature Scheme v2.

HNS Browser v0.2.1

Patch release for local HNS proof and delegated DNS reliability.

• Prefer current-height peers for live HNS proof fetches.
• Fix resolver trace delegation reporting when direct authoritative DNS is used.
• Add Play Store screenshot assets and bump Android versionCode to 12.

Validation:

• Verified denuoweb resolves with local HNS proof, direct UDP/53, DNSSEC secure, DANE verified, and no HNS DoH fallback.
• Built signed Play upload AAB with arm64-v8a and x86_64 native libraries.
