SalahOS v1.5.3 release notes

SalahOS v1.5.3 is a prayer-correctness, Qur’an-reading, notification-onboarding and UX refinement release. It tightens mosque data handling, makes prayer-state semantics more explicit, improves navigation across the full 6,236-ayah Qur’an corpus, and preserves the project’s strict provenance, licensing, accessibility and exact-head release contracts.

Prayer correctness and Today

  • Rejects implausible published mosque congregation times instead of clamping or silently shifting them, including guarded Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha acceptance windows and Isha midnight-wrap handling.
  • Hardens the Australian mosque data generators so Jumu’ah collisions and coarse impossible fard-time candidates are dropped before reaching runtime data.
  • Prevents a far-away selected mosque from silently relocating the user’s prayer calculation beyond the named 150 km guard while still allowing its published congregation/Jumu’ah information to be viewed.
  • Promotes every available Friday Jumu’ah session directly beneath the Today hero and carries directory-published Jumu’ah times through the selected-mosque context without inventing khutbah times.
  • Adds a Night section for Islamic midnight, final-third/Tahajjud start and optional configured Ishraq/Duha, with an explicit night-end convention.
  • Widens the Hijri correction control from ±2 to ±3 days.
  • Replaces the ambiguous “Between prayer times” state with explicit civil-day schedule states. Before Fajr, SalahOS reports that it is before today’s first obligatory prayer rather than silently carrying the previous civil day’s Isha forward. This is a presentation convention, not a fiqh ruling about prayer validity.
  • Adds a persistent method/Asr provenance chip and refreshes Today when settings or selected-mosque profile state changes.

First-run setup and prayer notifications

  • Adds a focused first-run prayer-setup step for calculation method and Asr convention, including offline country-based method suggestions, an MWL fallback and Standard/Hanafi Asr preview times.
  • Adds a third onboarding step for local prayer notifications with accurate platform-limitations copy and existing per-prayer preference semantics.
  • Requests native notification permission only after explicit opt-in; skipping or declining does not cause automatic re-prompting and notification controls remain reachable later in Settings.
  • Preserves Android exact-alarm handling behind explicit user action, keeps an inexact fallback when exact scheduling is unavailable, and preserves reboot/reschedule restoration behavior.

Qur’an and Islamic Knowledge

  • Gives the Qur’an a dedicated deep-linkable reading route while retaining Library / Qur’an / Hadith navigation inside Knowledge.
  • Bundles the Amiri Quran font under SIL OFL 1.1, removes conflicting Arabic typography rules and standardises Qur’an font/scale state across reader surfaces.
  • Makes the full 6,236-ayah corpus practical to navigate with searchable surah indexing, Juz and mushaf-page navigation, continuous virtualised surah scrolling, per-surah scroll restoration and Resume last read highlighting.
  • Improves ayah presentation with Arabic-Indic end markers, surah header bands, basmala exceptions, cleaner reading controls and less repetitive provenance chrome.
  • Gives translation/transliteration and mixed-script metadata explicit lang/dir handling and strengthens RTL isolation.
  • Moves Qur’an aria-live behavior to a concise result-status region so screen readers do not re-announce whole passages.
  • Localises Juz/page/reference/source labels and numbers, and keeps required Tanzil attribution and its reviewed external-link path visible in-app.
  • Keeps the current curated hadith scope honest about partial Arabic matn, isnad, grading authority and unavailable metadata.
  • No new rights-pending Qur’an translation or transliteration content is bundled in v1.5.3. The approved licensing strategy remains gated on actual written permission or a compatible licence before product integration.

UX, navigation and performance

  • Refines Sunrise as a visually secondary non-prayer boundary and distinguishes selected-mosque, approximate and saved/precise location states without changing prayer semantics.
  • Consolidates phone bottom-navigation ownership, equal-width six-destination layout and overflow handling, including the shorter Indonesian Ilmu label.
  • Reduces lower-hierarchy Today eyebrow density to sentence case/weight 600 while preserving strong uppercase tracking for hero prayer/countdown labels and RTL overrides.
  • Splits astronomical schedule computation from live countdown derivation, memoises schedule work across stable date/settings/location inputs, and reduces unnecessary per-second recomputation.

Quality and release engineering

  • V1.5.3 implementation items were accepted through the permanent Quality, Visual Regression, Android emulator lifecycle, fresh iPhone/iPad Simulator and Windows executable workflows before release reconciliation.
  • Preserves design-token ownership, domain/platform/UI boundaries, native-permission policy, remote-network policy, dependency audit/licensing checks, Qur’an integrity/governance, mosque-directory reproducibility, coverage, production build and bundle-budget enforcement.
  • Keeps the reviewed Today typography golden-image delta scenario-scoped rather than weakening the global visual-regression threshold.

Release reconciliation

  • Synchronises npm, package-lock, Android and iOS marketing versions at 1.5.3.
  • Advances Android versionCode and iOS CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION together from build 9 to build 10.
  • Preserves fail-closed exact-current-main release preflight, Android production-signing verification, archive-integrity checks and exact-final-file-set verification.

Downloadable v1.5.3 assets

A successful v1.5.3 publication includes:

  • SalahOS-v1.5.3-android.apk — persistently signed Android release APK for direct installation;
  • SalahOS-v1.5.3-android.aab — persistently signed Android App Bundle for Google Play/distribution workflows;
  • SalahOS-v1.5.3-windows-x64.exe — self-contained 64-bit Windows 10/11 desktop executable;
  • SalahOS-v1.5.3-web-pwa.zip — complete production Web/PWA package;
  • SalahOS-v1.5.3-raspberry-pi-kiosk.tar.gz — production Web/PWA files plus Raspberry Pi/Linux Chromium kiosk launch and autostart helpers;
  • SHA256SUMS.txt — SHA-256 hashes for the packaged release assets.

The Windows executable includes its .NET runtime and expects the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime, normally present on current Windows 10/11 installations. GitHub also exposes the standard source-code ZIP and tarball for the release tag.

Distribution boundaries

  • A consumer iOS/iPadOS .ipa is not published until Apple distribution signing/provisioning is configured and a distribution archive can be validated. iPhone/iPad Simulator acceptance is test evidence, not a consumer installer.
  • No native macOS .dmg is published because SalahOS does not contain a native macOS application target.
  • Physical Raspberry Pi, TV/panel, iPhone/iPad and broad Android OEM acceptance is not inferred from browser, emulator or Simulator evidence.

Release gates

The v1.5.3 release revision must be the exact current main commit and pass the permanent Quality Gate, Visual Regression, Android, iOS and Windows workflows. The release-asset workflow reruns repository quality checks, verifies persistent Android signing, builds and verifies APK/AAB packages, validates Web/PWA and Raspberry Pi archives, checks the exact final file set and SHA-256 manifest, and only then creates or updates the GitHub release. The Windows workflow independently self-tests the packaged executable and reconciles its checksum into the published manifest.
