Blobs 0.3.11

Blobs 0.3.11 brings the updated Blobs illustrations and a consistent chat-first experience across setup, conversations, Library, and Settings.

• Guided model and starter-library setup, with clearer download, pause, verification, installation, and recovery screens.
• Light/Dark/System previews, improved reading controls, and layouts refined for large text.
• Clearer source selection and saved-library controls, plus refreshed storage, conversation data, and About screens.
• Offline release kits can reuse an existing verified model/library edition independently of the app version.

Install blobs-0.3.11.apk, then download a model and the starter library inside the app. Optional collections are available in Library. Chat, retrieval, citations, and source reading work offline after setup. Blobs supports Android 9+ on ARM64 and x86_64, is compatible with GrapheneOS, and has no Google Play Services dependency.

Updating: install this APK over your existing Blobs installation. It uses the same signing certificate as 0.3.10. Existing model/library packages can stay installed.

For a portable copy of the APK and fallback files, extract blobs-0.3.11-offline-kit.zip and follow VERIFY.md and INSTALL.md. Guided first-run setup uses in-app downloads; later local imports are available in Library and Settings → Models. The kit includes the signed APK, compact Qwen fallback model, starter library, source archive, licenses, and checksums. Larger models and additional libraries remain on Hugging Face.

Validation passed: Gradle verify, debug/release lint, formatting, 33 JVM tests, 26 release-tool tests, APK signature and 16 KB ZIP/ELF alignment checks, complete offline-kit verification, and signed upgrade/launch on Android 16 x86_64. UI review covered light/dark and large text, with application-flow checks for drafts, navigation, source reading, and imports.
