Eddy 0.6.0 beta

Tab swiping, a way to reach the developer, and a large round of fixes from a full review of the app.

New

• Swipe between tabs. Drag the address bar left or right to move to the next or previous tab. The neighbouring tab's preview slides in with the page, a quick flick is enough, and the bar stretches a little when there is no tab that way. Normal and incognito tabs stay separate.
• Settings > Support. Send a bug report, question or idea straight from the app, with your email if you want a reply. Messages go through Web3Forms, only when you tap Send; the privacy policy explains what is included.

Privacy and security

• "Clear when I leave" is now reliable. Android stops background services a minute after you leave an app, so the cleanup often never ran when you swiped Eddy away later. Eddy now finishes it the next time it starts, before any tab comes back. It also clears your open tabs now, since they carry their own page history.
• Copied passwords leave the clipboard even while Eddy is in the background. Before, the one-minute clear only worked if you came back to Eddy.
• Incognito stays hidden from screenshots after visiting Passwords. Opening the password list from an incognito tab used to turn that protection off.
• Warning before saving an app installer from any link. Pages could save an APK through data: and blob: links, or change the file name after you agreed, without the usual question.

Fixes

• Editing a bookmark to an address that already exists in that folder no longer crashes Eddy.
• Pausing and quickly resuming a download (or starting one as another finishes) no longer crashes Eddy.
• With HTTPS-only on, a site that sends you back to http now shows the "continue without HTTPS" page instead of reloading forever.
• Sharing text that contains a link to Eddy opens the link instead of searching for the whole text.
• Reload in the menu reloads, even while the page is still loading.
• Downloads named with a % sign or accented letters keep their names.
• Read aloud works again after the speech engine failed to start once.
• App links that name only an app now fall back to the website the page offers.
• History no longer occasionally shows the next page's title on the previous entry.
• Sign-in and permission dialogs no longer carry over what you typed in the previous one.
• Photos taken for uploads are deleted after a day.
• Icons point the right way in right-to-left languages, and the address field reacts faster while typing.

eddy-0.6.0-beta.apk is the normal build. eddy-0.6.0-beta-fdroid.apk is the same app without the developer-tools panel; F-Droid rebuilds it from source and checks it matches. Both are signed with the same key as previous releases, so you can switch between them.
