(v.0.2.1)

Version v.0.2.1 includes major improvements and introduces an experimental JIT edition alongside the stable JITless version. This release is heavily improved compared with Blinker Fluid v.0.2.

IMPORTANT:
After some consideration, I have decided to continue developing Blinker Fluid for iOS 15 and newer because of the difficulty of testing builds for iOS 14 and earlier.

This decision may change later on if I ever get any testing phones or find people willing to test those versions. If you use iOS 14 or earlier, consider Reynard Browser by Minh Ton, as it is currently more polished and functional than Blinker Fluid is in its current state.

New Features, fixes, and improvements:

  • Experimental TrollStore JIT build alongside stable JITless.
  • Fixed and heavily improved custom Blinker Fluid start page.
  • Added editable website shortcuts for the Blinker Fluid start page.
  • Added some haptic feedback.
  • Fixed and heavily improved the tab manager, with a max of 12 tabs and memory aware tab handling.
  • Fixed and fully functional bookmarks and bookmark folders.
  • Fixed and fully functional downloads tab.
  • Added browsing history.
  • Added app lock option using Face ID or device authentication.
  • Added website permission management tab.
  • Added clear browsing data tab.
  • (Not tested) Added new update checker with changelogs and TrollStore installation links.
  • Added about and donations sections.
  • Added website loading progress bar.
  • Added WebAssembly interpreter support for certain sites.
  • (Semi-functional) Fixed desktop/mobile-site switching.
  • (Untested) Fixed SOCKS5/Tor proxy configuration.
  • Added a heavily improved pop-up keyboard and fixed keyboard dropping the text box after typing one character.
  • Added new categorized settings and privacy sections inside the main menu
  • Added crash-loop recovery to avoid repeatedly restoring a crashing page.
  • (JIT only) Added a 256 MB V8 CodeRange, reserves controlled space for generated code.
  • Added proactive memory watchdog, reacts before iOS terminates the app.
  • Added unified memory policy, keeps memory limits consistent.
  • Added background-tab discarding, attempt to unload inactive pages while preserving tabs.
  • Removed dedicated Reddit-only emergency memory guard.
  • Removed broken GitHub-only memory purge behavior.
