Linqo 0.8.3 — Weekly Updates, Local Alerts and Progress

Linqo is still in active development. This Android development preview includes weekly update reminders, local extraction notifications, progress indicators and easier diagnostics access.

New in v0.8.3

• Weekly update popup: Linqo checks GitHub during quiet foreground visits, at most once a week after a successful check. A popup appears only for a newer version. Later snoozes it for a week; offline failures stay silent and retry on a later visit after a one-day backoff. Turn this off in Settings → About & updates → Check for updates weekly, or check manually anytime.
• Local extraction notifications: opt-in completion, partial-result and error alerts. No server, account or push SDK is required. Saved titles/captions/URLs stay out of notification contents, and tapping a result opens its save. Enable alerts in Settings → Notifications; cancelled jobs remain silent.
• Extraction progress: checked-part coverage, elapsed time and an explicitly approximate ETA when enough timing data is available. Loading and the first unchecked part remain indeterminate. The compact optional model and two-thread default are unchanged.
• Visible diagnostics: open Settings → Diagnostics & logs to enable, view, export or clear local logs. Capture is off by default and is not retroactive. No automatic upload; native crashes and Android/OOM kills may be missed. The old seven-tap version shortcut still works.

Keep Linqo open during extraction: background pause/cancellation behavior is unchanged. Update reminders do not run a background service or download/install APKs automatically. The library remains unlimited and donation-supported, with no paid unlocks or accounts.

Install or update

Download Linqo-v0.8.3-android-arm64.apk below. Requires Android 10/API 29 or newer on ARM64. This release is build 16, including the weekly-check change after the earlier local build 15.

Install over the existing app to retain saves, settings and the optional model. Do not uninstall or clear app data. Export a backup from Settings before updating. Existing development signing is retained for compatible updates; this is not a production/Play Store signing release.

The optional model is a separate download of approximately 397 MB, never bundled or downloaded automatically. Release assets include SHA256SUMS.txt and THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt; keep the license bundle with redistributed APKs.

Verification and boundaries

153 host tests passed and static analysis is clean. Weekly-check coverage includes restart/snooze persistence, offline backoff, opt-out, preview filtering, invalid/old cached versions, concurrent events, clock rollback and enlarged-text popup layout. Weekly checks were host-tested; no physical-device newer-release popup check is claimed.

Earlier local build 15 passed Redmi Note 7 Pro/Android 12 checks for local notifications, silent cancellation and data preservation. A real result notification opened the correct labeled test recipe from Android's shade. Android 13+ denial recovery has host coverage; the real permission dialog was not checked on that Android 12 device. There is no new inference-performance benchmark for build 16.

Public caption/preview fetching and extraction remain best effort. AI stays optional and English-only. No cloud sync or native iOS target is available yet.
