🚀 Orion Store v1.2.0 Release Notes

Build 2026.27 • The "Command Center" Update

This update transforms Orion from a simple app store into a full-fledged device manager and community hub. I have unlocked system-level powers and rewritten the core engine for speed.

🧠 Feature Spotlight: Filename Intelligence & Stream Locking

Orion now understands the DNA of your apps.

  • Stream Locking: Install a "Nightly" or "Alpha" build once, and Orion locks onto that frequency. Future updates will automatically target that specific stream instead of forcing you back to Stable.
  • Smart Package Discovery: The engine now aggressively scans for package variants (e.g., com.example.preview vs com.example). If you side-load a Beta manually, Orion detects it instantly and syncs the correct state.
  • Zero-API Logic: Complex version parsing happens locally in a background worker, bypassing GitHub API limits entirely.

🛡️ Feature Spotlight: Orion Guardian (Shizuku)

I have unlocked the true power of Android. By leveraging Shizuku, Orion now offers tools previously reserved for root users or ADB commands.

  • System Debloater: Safely freeze or uninstall bloatware and system apps. Features "Risk Heuristics" (Safe/Caution/Critical) to warn you before touching critical OS components.
  • Permission Manager: Visualize dangerous permissions (Camera, Mic, Location) across all apps and revoke them instantly with one tap.
  • APK Surgeon: Extract the installation file (APK) of any app on your device—including system apps—to share or analyze.

🛰️ Feature Spotlight: Orion Sentinel (Security Suite)

Orion now includes a powerful, on-demand security suite built for privacy-conscious users. Sentinel helps you understand your device's security posture without constant background scanning.

  • Rapid Scan: Instantly checks your installed apps against a known threat database and verifies their installation source (e.g., flags a banking app not installed from the Play Store).
  • Deep Scan: Performs a full file system analysis, using cryptographic hashes to detect threats and "Magic Byte" analysis to find malicious files disguised as safe documents.
  • Network Sentry: Audits your current connection for vulnerabilities, warning you about weak WiFi encryption, active developer debugging (ADB), and hidden proxies that could intercept your traffic.
  • Privacy-First Intelligence: Sentinel's threat database is distributed and sharded. The app only downloads the tiny data shards it needs, respecting your bandwidth and privacy.

❤️ Feature Spotlight: Favorites & Dynamic Organization

  • Favorites System: Mark your most-used apps with a heart. They appear with a badge in the list and can be filtered instantly.
  • Dynamic Categories: The store now adapts to its content. Categories are no longer hardcoded; if a developer submits an app under "Productivity" or "Gaming", a new tab is automatically created to organize it.

🏆 Feature Spotlight: The Hall of Fame

The community is now live.

  • Global Leaderboard: Contribute to the project (Fuel the Code) to earn XP and rank up from "Newcomer" to "Cosmic Guardian".
  • The R-Coin: The Developer Avatar on the About page is now an interactive 3D coin. Flip it to reveal the hidden gateway to the Hall of Fame.
  • Ghost Relay: A secure, serverless backend that validates contributions with cryptographic signatures to prevent cheating.

⚡ Performance: Nuclear Foundation

  • Core-Shift (Web Workers): I moved the entire "brain" of the app to a background thread. Searching, sorting, and parsing 10,000 apps now happens in parallel, keeping the UI at a buttery 120Hz.
  • Memory Caching: Tab switching (Apps <-> PC <-> TV) is now instant. Data persists in memory, eliminating loading spinners after the first fetch.

🛠️ UX Refinements

  • Native Splash Screen: A beautiful, custom-animated splash screen now greets you on app launch. The animation is rendered natively for a smooth, professional startup experience.
  • Icon Perfection (Chrome Engine): I have abandoned standard image libraries. Orion now spins up a hidden Chrome browser instance just to take a perfect 1024x1024 photograph of your icon on a CSS-rendered Indigo canvas. This guarantees absolute zero transparency artifacts and 100% pixel-perfect scaling on all Android devices.
  • Smart Install Scanner: The "Install" button now intelligently transitions to a "Scanning..." state, verifying package registration in the background to prevent "App not installed" false positives.
  • Copy Package Name: Tapping the package name (e.g., com.orion.store) in the System Guardian now instantly copies it to your clipboard.
  • Smart Search: The search engine now weights results by relevance (Name > Author > Description) rather than just simple text matching.
  • Independent Tab Settings: Filters, categories, sort orders, and favorites are now saved independently for each tab (Android/PC/TV). Your preferences persist exactly as you left them until changed.
