Eddy 0.5.0 beta

A feature release: background playback, darker pages and quicker ways into Eddy, plus a round of fixes.

Browsing

• Background audio and video. Media keeps playing after you leave the app, with a "Playing in Eddy" notification and a Pause button. The notification goes away when playback stops or you return to Eddy.
• Darken websites (Settings > Appearance). Pages without their own dark theme get dark colors while your phone is in dark mode. Off by default.
• Search selected text from other apps. Select text anywhere and pick Eddy from the text menu to search it.
• Add to home screen now pins a launcher icon for the page, using the site's logo. The old action, which added the page to Eddy's start page, is now called Add to start page.

Settings

• The search engine picker shows each engine's logo.
• The SearXNG instance setting only appears once SearXNG is your engine.
• A redesigned About page, with links to the website and the source code.

Fixes

• Permission prompts close when the page withdraws the request.
• A tab no longer restores a stale page after you navigate away or close it; tabs opened in the background are paused.
• Downloads of blob: and data: files from incognito tabs are marked as incognito.
• Addresses with a port number, like example.com:8443, open as URLs instead of being searched.
• HTTP-only exceptions in HTTPS-only mode now cover only the site's own subdomains.

The attached APK is signed with the same key as previous releases.
