New

  • Rebuilt the desktop UI around a three-column layout with a shared app icon and less redundant chrome; window now survives resizing and narrowing.
  • Start and stop the phone's camera directly from the desktop, with resolution and FPS driven from the phone's actual supported sizes and a live throughput/status readout.
  • Auto-pair USB devices over adb, with a real pairing-status indicator, retryable USB pairing, and QR pairing over USB when there's no usable LAN path.
  • Added a "Copy Diagnostics" action for support requests (app/device info only, never the pairing token or config).
  • All phone communication is now authenticated with a per-device token instead of being open on the network; the token is also excluded from Android backups/transfers.

Fixed

  • Preview no longer squishes or stretches on resize/rotation, and closes automatically when the phone's screen turns off without a lock screen.
  • Low battery is now detected even when a weak charger can't keep up.
  • Fixed several pairing/reconnect races: double-start, stale queued controls, a paired device losing its selection after restart, and controls not resending after a mid-stream reconnect.
  • Fixed a packaging conflict between OpenCV and PyQt6 on desktop, and the tray icon not fully quitting the app after a hide/show cycle.
  • Config is now backed up before being reset on corruption, and failed saves surface a notification instead of failing silently.

Other

  • Relicensed from CC BY-NC 4.0 to AGPL-3.0.
  • Plugins now go through a public, typed HostServices API instead of reaching into private desktop internals.
  • Quick Start guide and README rewritten for clarity, including corrected Linux adb dependencies.
