4.0.5

4.0.5 (4.0.4 → 4.0.5)

Highlights

• Added a KernelSU module package containing the supported KMI builds and userspace checker. It detects the device KMI, enables boot auto-load by default, and provides an Action button and multilingual WebUI for module controls and checker output.
• Added KernelSU Manager update metadata (update.json) and automated publication of versioned module assets, the checker, and the KernelSU ZIP. Release tags are checked against the module version; release creation accepts an HTTPS URL for release notes.
• Hardened controlled unload and hot-reload around live namespace and IPC state. The module tracks vendored namespace proxies, namespace-filesystem inode pins, IPC objects, and deferred cleanup; unsafe teardown is refused until references and work drain. Diagnostic resource counters help identify remaining blockers.
• Added procfs lookup fallbacks for /proc/<pid>/ns/ipc and /proc/<pid>/ns/pid when native namespace entries are unavailable, including an Android 17 / 6.18 path using that KMI's procfs PID accessor.

Compatibility and testing

• The QEMU workflow exercises the checker before and after module load, namespace/procfs behavior, container workloads, and post-use module unload using pinned official Google GKI images across eight KMIs: android12-5.10, android13-5.10, android13-5.15, android14-5.15, android14-6.1, android15-6.6, android16-6.12, and android17-6.18.
• KernelSU ZIP and release packaging require a complete supported-KMI build matrix.
• NET_NS remains bookkeeping-only; use host networking (--network=host). The module must match the device's exact KMI. On Android data filesystems with casefold support, configure Docker to use fuse-overlayfs as described in the user guide.

Changes

fix:

• Improved namespace/IPC lifetime handling, task-exit cleanup, and Android 5.10 compatibility; fixed KernelSU install permissions and shell invocation of control scripts.

docs and licensing:

• Added consolidated copying.txt terms to the project and KernelSU package, with clarified attribution and provenance metadata.
