Vitrallis Shell 1.0.0 Beta

Vitrallis Shell 1.0.0 Beta

This is the first 1.0.0 beta release of Vitrallis Shell and represents the current release-candidate baseline ahead of the final 1.0.0 release. This is a testing pre-release, not stable 1.0.0.

Highlights

• Updated Shell, Terminal, Notepad, Files, and shared native UI for consistent keyboard and touch operation across supported display sizes.
• Refined layout and text handling so long names, paths, versions, and status messages remain within their controls; expanded renderer and geometry regression coverage.
• Added the managed App Center lifecycle and safer install/update handling, including catalog and download work outside the cross-process storage lock with revalidation before commit.
• Added guarded restoration of a retained, fully validated previous Shell build while preserving installed apps and user data.
• Continued the desktop shortcut, folder, and PocketCHIP session workflows, with bounded process cleanup and input/path validation improvements.
• Included shared supervised Arti/Tor support, required-app network policy, and SDL hardware-renderer selection with software fallback and diagnostics.

Reliability and performance

This release includes App Center transaction and cache hardening, bounded worker and child-process shutdown, safer document offsets and stale-index handling, responsive update progress, cached renderer artwork, and a shared font atlas. The release workflow packages Linux x86-64 and ARMv7 bundles and validates the ARMv7 build under QEMU.

Beta status

This build is intended for testing before the final 1.0.0 release. Linux release bundles require glibc 2.36 or newer and SDL2 2.26.5 or newer. Hardware acceleration depends on the host graphics stack; supported configurations can use the SDL software-renderer fallback.

Known issues

No additional release-specific known issues are recorded. Please report issues with the device, OS, and graphics backend details.
