Fixed

  • Stable long iOS sessions — live-view frames and HTTP chunks now drain
    temporary Foundation, UIKit and ImageIO objects continuously instead of
    retaining them for the lifetime of the monitor thread. Meter updates are
    coalesced with video updates so a temporary UI slowdown cannot build a queue.
  • Safe stop and resume on Android and iOS — every monitor run has a unique
    generation and owns an explicitly tracked stream. Going to the background,
    opening the camera-card gallery or returning quickly can no longer leave an
    older socket and rendering thread running alongside the new session.
  • Lower-cost focus peaking — iOS now reuses its full-resolution Sobel buffers
    and uses 32-bit gradients; Android uses compact luminance and gradient buffers.
    Both platforms sample peaking at about 8 fps while keeping the live view at its
    normal frame rate, reducing allocation pressure, memory bandwidth and heat.
  • Faster iOS stream parsing — chunked HTTP data is appended directly from the
    socket buffer, avoiding an extra temporary Data allocation for every chunk.

Notes

  • The grid and exposure meter remain available at the same quality. Focus
    peaking still runs at full image resolution; only its refresh cadence changed.
  • The patched camera APK is unchanged. Installers are republished so every
    downloadable asset remains available together under the same release.
