ArDali Browser 6.1.2

ArDali 6.1.2

Released on 24 August 2026.

ArDali 6.1.2 corrects the installed Linux desktop identity and application
icon.

Highlights

• Displays the installed application name as ArDali in desktop launchers.
• Installs the verified ArDali bee-shield icon under the new ardali icon
  identity, preventing legacy user-level ardali-browser icons from
  overriding the packaged icon.
• Publishes the canonical ardali package for both AUR and the ArDali pacman
  repository.
• Keeps the executable name ardali-browser for command-line and profile
  compatibility.

Platform status

Linux remains the verified build, test, packaging, and release platform.

License and third-party components

ArDali remains licensed under GPL-3.0-only. Third-party filter and ruleset
resources retain their respective copyright and license notices in
browser/resources/adblock/NOTICE.txt.

ArDali Browser 6.0.1

ArDali Browser 6.0.1

Released on 24 August 2026.

ArDali Browser 6.0.1 is a maintenance release focused on release automation,
Arch Linux integration, and clear product documentation.

Highlights

• Clarifies that ArDali Blocker is ArDali Browser's built-in advertising and
  tracker protection engine, implemented as part of the native browser.
• Keeps bundled third-party filter data, generated rulesets, scriptlets, and
  resources attributed separately in browser/resources/adblock/NOTICE.txt.
• Adds the qt6-imageformats runtime dependency needed for bundled WebP image
  support in Arch Linux packages.
• Runs GitHub browser tests under Xvfb and supports safe release workflow
  re-runs against an existing version tag.

Platform status

Linux remains the verified build, test, packaging, and release platform. No
Windows binary is included until the Windows pipeline is independently
verified.

License and third-party components

ArDali Browser remains licensed under GPL-3.0-only. Third-party filter and
ruleset resources retain their respective copyright and license notices in
browser/resources/adblock/NOTICE.txt.

ArDali Browser 6.0.0

ArDali Browser 6.0.0

Released on 24 August 2026.

ArDali Browser 6.0.0 is a major architectural transition from
ArDali-WebMedia 5.5.2. The Electron-based media application has been replaced
by a modular native browser built with Qt 6, Qt WebEngine, and C++20.

Highlights

• Native multi-tab browser architecture with session restoration, tab
  reordering, detachable tabs, hover previews, and custom new-tab pages.
• ArDali Blocker for local request filtering, tracker and advertisement
  protection, cosmetic filtering, per-site controls, logs, and rule-set
  management.
• ArDali Pulse for recognizing music from system audio or a microphone and
  opening results on configured music services.
• Encrypted local credential vault and integrated password-management UI.
• Audio effects, 32-band equalizer presets, output processing, and live media
  controls integrated into the browser.
• Redesigned settings, side tools, browser chrome, and modular native source
  layout.
• New Arch Linux source package recipe and standards-based desktop/icon
  installation for the ardali-browser executable.

Platform status

Linux is the verified 6.0.0 build and packaging target. The source contains a
Windows application-resource path, but no Windows binary is included in this
release until that pipeline is independently verified.

Upgrade note

This release changes the application architecture, executable, package name,
and storage implementation. A seamless migration from ArDali-WebMedia 5.5.2
is not claimed; keep a backup of existing data before switching.

License and third-party components

ArDali Browser is distributed under GPL-3.0-only. Bundled filter rules,
scriptlets, lists, and other third-party resources retain their own notices;
see browser/resources/adblock/NOTICE.txt in the source tree.
