What's new in v1.0.4

The big usability + performance pass. This is the recommended build.

✨ Added

• Horizontal category preset selector — a swipeable row of uniform-size cards (name, tagline, highlight tag) with a details panel below, instead of a tall vertical list.
• F3 renderer name — the debug screen now shows IronizedZink | OpenGL <version> (like MobileGlues) instead of the raw Zink string, via Mesa's force_gl_renderer / force_gl_vendor. Done purely through the environment — no change to the GL loading path.
• Real, effective options, grouped by purpose (each maps to a variable the Mesa Zink driver actually honours):
  • Performance — Threaded GL, Big-core affinity, Out-of-order drawing (allow_draw_out_of_order, new), No-error fast path, VSync/uncapped.
  • Shaders & compatibility — OpenGL version (3.3–4.6), Relaxed GLSL, Expose all extensions (MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR, new), Shader disk cache, Single-file cache.
  • Experimental — Lazy descriptors (ZINK_DESCRIPTORS=lazy, new), Inline uniforms (ZINK_INLINE_UNIFORMS, new), Force software (last-resort).
• Environment viewer + one-tap copy for your launcher's custom-env field.

🚀 Changed / performance

• Potato is now genuinely the fastest preset. It was capped at OpenGL 3.3 (which forces Sodium down slow paths on modern Minecraft); it now uses OpenGL 4.6 + threaded GL + big cores + no-error + out-of-order drawing + lazy descriptors + uncapped FPS.
• Performance preset also gains out-of-order drawing + no-error while staying shader-ready.
• Preset cards redesigned: consistent size, richer content, and flat (no drop shadows) — selection shown with colour + border, not elevation.
• Corrected messaging: Minecraft 26.x is fully supported on every preset.

🩹 Fixed

• Launcher crash on game start (SIGSEGV): the config shim is now set-only — it never unsets environment variables (unsetting FORCE_VSYNC caused a NULL deref in the launcher).
• Android 15 (16 KB pages): all native libraries linked 16 KB page-aligned.
• Missing C++ runtime: libc++_shared.so bundled per-ABI.

🗑️ Removed

• FPS overlay option — GALLIUM_HUD doesn't draw in this Android Zink build, so it was a dead toggle.
• The short-lived experimental GL-wrapper library — the F3 name is now done via force_gl_renderer, so the renderer uses the proven libglxshim.so path with zero added risk.

ℹ️ Honest scope notes

• This is a GPU/OpenGL renderer. Server tick rate and multiplayer netcode are game/server-side and cannot be changed by a renderer, so there are deliberately no fake "improve tick"/"improve multiplayer" toggles. (Higher, smoother FPS can still make input feel more responsive.)
• FSR / resolution upscaling isn't a Zink environment feature on Android (render resolution is set by the launcher/OS surface), so it isn't included as a fake option.
• Zink translates OpenGL → Vulkan; on some mobile GPUs (e.g. Mali) that has inherent overhead versus a native-GLES renderer, so raw FPS may not always match GLES-based options even fully tuned.
