Rename to Tapete

Rename to Tapete

English · Español

From version 4.0.0 the app is called Tapete (it was Proxy Builder). This page says what changed, what did not and why, for anyone who already used the app or who reads code that still says proxy-builder.

What changes

• The name you see: window titles, the logo (the card on green cloth, from the website), Settings, dialogs, installers and release files (Tapete_<version>_android-arm64.apk).
• The interface texts, in all 15 languages, and the User-Agent of every request (Tapete/<version>).
• The links you share: https://tapete.zodhub.app/join/<code> and https://tapete.zodhub.app/friend/<code>, which open the app or take the person to download it. The app also opens tapete:// links.
• The default colour theme is a green («Nature»), like the logo. Anyone who had chosen a theme keeps it.
• Everything Tapete prints or exports carries a «Tapete · Not for sale» stamp (The Card Stamp).
• The repositories, now PoolFlamingo/tapete and its wiki. GitHub redirects the old names, which is what lets old installed copies keep updating and downloading packs.

What does not change

Your decks, games, identity and settings carry over: an update from 3.x finds everything where it was. On purpose, the technical identity stays as it was, because changing any of it would break something for people who already have the app:

Kept	What would break
The application identifier com.estigio.proxybuilder and the data folders that come from it	Android would treat the new app as a different one (no update in place, and uninstalling deletes the library); on desktop the data folder would change and decks and identity would look lost
The signing keys of the updater and of the APK	Nobody would receive more updates
The network protocols (proxy-builder/mesa/1, proxy-builder/img/1, proxy-builder/deck/1) and the PB1- / PBD1- codes	A 3.x and a 4.x copy could not play together or pass decks to each other
The .pbdeck extension and its manifest format; the identity file type	Decks and identities already shared or exported would not open
The proxybuilder:// links (tapete:// was added beside them)	Links already sent would stop opening the app
The localStorage keys proxybuilder.*	Everyone would lose theme, language and preferences
Crate and package names, the PB_* debug variables, the Android Keystore alias that seals the identity, and the path of the frame packs repository	Nothing visible, only noise, or (the Keystore alias) an identity that could never be opened again

The installers take care of the old copy: the .deb and .rpm declare that they replace proxy-builder, and the Windows installer silently uninstalls the old «Proxy Builder» (keeping the data). Details and caveats in Releases and Auto-Updates.

Why

The old name described one function (proxies) and made the app look like a «proxy site» to the places where Magic players meet, when it has become a place to prepare, test and play decks. Printing remains a feature, with the stamp that says what the cards are.
