Release v0.4.0-beta

This major beta update introduces significant automation features, enhanced system integration through widgets and tiles, and a refined connection protocol. This version is designed to work in synergy with the Desktop Client v0.4.0-beta.

What's New

Automation & Intelligence

  • Smart Auto-Connect: The app can now automatically connect to specific IP addresses when detected online. This feature has been highly requested and is now available with a dedicated priority management system in the settings.
  • Background Persistence: Auto-connect logic is designed to function reliably even when the application is closed.
  • Priority System: New settings allow you to define which devices take precedence during the auto-discovery and connection phase.

System Integration & UI

  • Material You Widgets: Two new interactive home screen widgets:
    • Server Controller: Start or stop the audio server instantly.
    • Client Controller: Start/stop client mode and view the active device list.
  • Quick Settings Tiles: Added two system tiles for the Android notification shade:
    • Server Toggle: Quick start/stop for the server.
    • Auto-Connect Trigger: Attempts an immediate connection to the IP address saved in the new "Quick Connect" settings field.
  • App Shortcuts: Long-pressing the app icon on the home screen now reveals shortcuts for quick server and client actions.
  • Onboarding Fix: Resolved a UI rendering bug where "Skip" and "Continue" buttons were incorrectly displayed on the Welcome Screen.

Protocol & Core Improvements

  • WFAS Handshake: Overhauled the handshake logic for the native WFAS protocol. This mainly improves connection stability.
    • Note: This version requires the Desktop Client v0.4.0-beta for native streaming.
  • Zombie Server Patch: Fixed a persistent "ghost server" bug where the service would occasionally remain bound to a port even after being stopped.

Technical Notes

  • The "Quick Connect" tile uses the IP address manually specified in the application settings under the "Automation" section.
  • The record audio permission remains optional and is only required if the microphone streaming experimental feature is enabled.
