What's New in v0.6.1

Cyber ASCII Boot Sequence

• High-contrast monochrome vector splash animation on pure OLED black canvas (#000000).

  • Phase 2: Snake body & segmented chain links trace sequentially from the curled tail.
  • Phase 3: Serpent head focus surge and forked tongue extending with rapid 2-3 cycle oscillation.
  • Phase 4: Settle breathing pulse and seamless transition to the main app shell.

Codebase Streamlining & Optimization

• Unified duplicated ProfileColors into canonical application constants.
• Extended profile editor color picker from 4 colors to the full 8-color system palette.

OPA v0.4 — Tunnels, Premium Redesign, & Keystore Migration

What's New in v0.4

🚇 Port Forwarding & Tunnels

Fully integrated SSH tunneling support! Set up Local, Remote, and Dynamic (SOCKS5) port forwarding directly from the new Tunnels screen. Tunnels can be set to auto-start when the connection opens, allowing for seamless background networking.

🌌 Premium "Deep Space" Redesign

The entire app has been redesigned with a premium aesthetic featuring layered midnight navy surfaces, glowing neon accents, and frosted glass components. The new ConnectionTile is taller, more legible, and features a smooth swipe-to-reveal action menu.

🔐 Enhanced Security Architecture

Passwords are now stored exclusively in the hardware-backed Android Keystore alongside your private keys, completing the migration away from plaintext local storage. The biometric lock has also been rewritten at the routing layer for instant, secure enforcement before any sensitive screens can be drawn.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed SOCKS5 proxy data loss by implementing StreamIterator bridging.
• Fixed GoRouter GlobalKey conflicts when unlocking the app from the background.
• Improved performance by heavily utilizing const constructors in the new rendering pipeline.

OPA v0.3 — Tailscale SSH, AMOLED default

What's new

• Tailscale SSH — connect over WireGuard tunnel. Set Network to Tailscale in connection profile, paste an auth key, and SSH through your tailnet.
• AMOLED black permanent default — true black backgrounds on all screens, no toggle needed.
• Vendored tailscale package — \packages/tailscale/\ as local path dependency for the embedded Tailscale node.

Full changelog

• AMOLED black is now the unconditional default (removed settings toggle)
• Fixed TailscaleService.init never being called — SSH-over-tailnet now works
• Vendored packages/tailscale/ for reproducible builds
• \withOpacity()\ → \withValues(alpha:)\ migration
• AGP 8.9.1 → 8.11.1, built-in Kotlin
• Design polish: glassmorphism cards, formatting consistency, deprecation fixes

v0.2.2 - Runtime version resolution & polish

What's New

• Runtime version resolution — App version is now read from platform package info at runtime instead of a hardcoded constant.
• Terminal banner — Connect banner shows the actual installed version from APK metadata.
• Update checker — Uses runtime version for comparison against GitHub Releases.
• Removed hardcoded appVersion constant from constants.dart.

Changelog

• Add AppVersion utility (package_info_plus) for runtime version resolution
• update_service.dart: Use AppVersion.get() instead of hardcoded constant
• terminal_screen.dart: Show runtime version in connect banner
• Remove appVersion from constants.dart
• Bump to 0.2.2+4

OPA v0.2.1 — Performance & UI Fixes

Performance

• Removed per-item BackdropFilter blur from all scrolling list items (connection cards, key cards, command cards, info banners, quick-command chips). These blurred a flat solid background for zero visual gain but caused heavy per-frame re-rasterization — the main source of scroll/navigation jank.
• Removed staggered per-item entrance animations from the agent-harness preset chips (21 animation controllers across the Agent / DevTools / System rows) and per-row fadeIn/slide from cards. This resolves the laggy feel in the Quick Commands preset panel specifically.
• Fixed an N+1 Hive box scan — listProfiles() now runs once per screen instead of once per command.

UI Fixes

• Fixed the auth selector overflow — the Password / Key / Both SegmentedButton text no longer overflows its segment (icon 16→14, label font→12, tighter padding).

Verification

• flutter analyze: no new issues
• 38/40 tests pass (2 pre-existing failures in ssh_key_encoder_test, unrelated)

OPA v0.2.0 — Update Checker & Terminal TUI Fixes

What's New

Terminal TUI Rendering Fixes

• Fixed garbled text — proper UTF-8 decoding so box-drawing characters and Unicode from TUI apps (opencode, agy, etc.) render correctly
• Fixed blank/frozen screen — PTY shell now opens with correct dimensions after layout, instead of a wrong 80x24 default
• Fixed wrapping — pixel dimensions are now sent to the SSH PTY for accurate terminal geometry

In-App Update Checker

• App now checks GitHub Releases on launch and prompts you to download new versions
• After this release, future updates show a download dialog automatically

Polish

• Overhauled README with badges, collapsible sections, and structure
• Added MIT LICENSE
