What each tag actually shipped. The current production release is v3.8 (stable), promoted to the Play production track after the v3.8-beta.* soak; v3.7 was the prior production release. Tags are in chronological order — promotion to production happens when the maintainer is satisfied with the beta soak.
The full per-release notes (with checklists, fix bullet lists, etc.) are on the GitHub Releases page. This page is a high-level index — read it to find which release a particular fix or feature shipped in.
| Tag | Track | Notes |
|---|---|---|
v3.8 |
Play Production (stable) | Promotion of the v3.8 beta line to production. Source is identical to v3.8-beta.13 plus the version bump (versionName "3.8", versionCode 57). Rolls up everything from v3.8-beta.5 → beta.13: issues #5/#6/#7, the payment-storage migration, usage analytics, native Pixel UI polish, FAB readability, Material You Dynamic Colors, collapsed Manage-Payments rows, the notification regression fix + full lifecycle analytics, and the timezone-resilient chained-one-shot schedule + Snackbar-only feedback. |
| Tag | Theme | Notes |
|---|---|---|
v3.8-beta.13 |
Timezone-resilient schedule + no system Toasts | Notification worker converted from PeriodicWorkRequest (which drifts because it fires every 24h on absolute UTC milliseconds) to a chained one-shot that re-schedules itself from the current local time on every run. New SystemEventReceiver immediately re-anchors on ACTION_TIMEZONE_CHANGED / ACTION_TIME_SET broadcasts. Three remaining Toast.makeText callsites (ViewModel error, sign-in failure, swipe-to-paid failure) replaced with brand-styled Material Snackbars. AGENTS.md gains two new design invariants: chained-worker (do NOT revert to periodic) and no-Toasts. |
v3.8-beta.12 |
Notification regression fix + lifecycle analytics | Three compounding notification bugs addressed: (a) timezone mismatch in days-left math (both sides now UTC), (b) channel bumped to subscription_reminders_v3 with IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT (LOW silenced notifications without the user noticing), (c) MainActivity.setupNotifications policy switched to KEEP (cold-start UPDATE was perpetually rescheduling — itself reverted in beta.13 in favour of the chained-one-shot architecture). Full notification lifecycle analytics added — notification_worker_run, notification_posted, notification_tap, notification_dismiss, plus existing notification_mark_paid_action — giving real tap-through ratios. Diagnostic Send Test Notification button in Settings. home_refresh_pull added as general analytics. |
v3.8-beta.11 |
Collapsed Manage Payments rows | Per-subscription Manage Payments rows no longer repeat the subscription name (the sheet header already provides context). Single-line layout: date + amount + optional delete. New showSubscriptionName: Boolean = true flag on PaymentAdapter. The All-Payments page still shows names since rows there span many subs. |
v3.8-beta.10 |
FAB readability (real fix), list parity, sticky swipe | FAB colour pair now applied programmatically in Kotlin (MainActivity.applyFabColours) — Material's text-appearance cascade was silently overriding the XML android:textColor. Payment list rewritten to the home subscription list's two-row Pixel layout. All-Payments list expanded to layout_weight=1 so it claims all space below hero + chart. Sticky-resistance swipe-to-mark-paid via SwipeHelpers.applyStickyDamping(). Settings section titles bumped to TextAppearance.App.TitleLarge. |
v3.8-beta.9 |
Material You Dynamic Colors enabled | Brand-monochrome stance reversed. DynamicColors.applyToActivitiesIfAvailable(this) now wired in VarisankyaApplication. On Android 12+ the entire M3 palette derives from the user's wallpaper; older devices fall back to the static theme. Side-effect fix: the persistent FAB "Add" label contrast issue from beta.7/beta.8 disappears because colorPrimary and colorOnPrimary are now genuinely contrasting tokens. |
v3.8-beta.8 |
FAB text-colour attempt + Settings large-app-bar | First attempt at fixing the FAB via explicit textColor=colorOnPrimary (didn't fully solve it — the underlying monochrome palette was the real problem; properly fixed in beta.9 + beta.10). Settings now uses CollapsingToolbarLayout with Display-sized title. Card spacing breathes. Search empty-state icon corrected. |
v3.8-beta.7 |
Native Pixel polish + outlier-robust averaging | Hero Next: <name> pill dropped (clutter). "Financial Insight" label dropped. Subscription list standardised to 2-row Pixel layout with semantic colour pill. ExtendedFAB with shrink-on-scroll. Predictive back enabled. Tukey's-fences IQR outlier filter for Average Monthly Expense. |
v3.8-beta.6 |
Manage Payments UX + usage analytics | Payment sheet restructured so action buttons stay pinned at the top while history scrolls below. Sheet title renamed Payment History → Manage Payments with Payment History as a sub-heading. About sheet gets a missing title. New util/Analytics.kt wrapper; 30+ events instrumented across screens / actions / settings / auth. |
v3.8-beta.5 |
Three reported issues + payment-storage Phase 1 |
#5 Custom-frequency layout fix. #6 Dual-write + flat-read payment migration (lazy backfill); shipped PAYMENT_MIGRATION_PLAN.md. #7 In-app mark-paid now cancels OS notification. Firestore rules also deployed in the same window. |
