SalahOS v1.6.0 release notes

SalahOS v1.6.0 is a mobile usability, Qur’an reliability, Islamic Knowledge organisation, theme and release-hardening update. It improves small-screen, large-text, Arabic/RTL and offline behavior while preserving provenance, signing and exact-head release checks.

Highlights

  • Removes Iqamah content from Today while retaining prayer start times, locality and calculation provenance.
  • Adds persistent Standard, Light Blue, Emerald, Navy, Warm Sand and Soft Lavender palettes independently of Light, Dark or System appearance.
  • Improves mobile Calendar, mosque empty/offline/location-denied states, Qiblah sensor fallbacks and Settings discoverability.
  • Adds permanent responsive acceptance across 320×568, 360×780, 390×844, 430×932, 844×390 and 768×1024, including Arabic RTL and 200% text scenarios.

Qur’an reader and SalahOS 2026

  • Adds SalahOS 2026 (English meaning) as the default English-meaning mode, transparently derived from the pinned M. M. Pickthall (1930) baseline/reference with project-guide verse-specific overrides.
  • Keeps M. M. Pickthall (1930) separately selectable and preserves Arabic-only reading.
  • Applies the supplied Ashʿarī Muhkam/Mutashabih methodology to the required seed passages, preserving Salaf-style tafwīd/tanzīh and contextual Khalaf taʾwīl notes where provided.
  • Pins Qur’anic Arabic as Uthmani · Medina Mushaf · Hafs, with explicit Arabic language metadata, RTL direction, right alignment and bidi isolation.
  • Corrects opening Bismillah presentation: Al-Fātiḥah retains Bismillah as ayah 1; At-Tawbah receives no opening Bismillah; ordinary surahs display one standalone opening Bismillah without duplicating a source prefix in ayah 1.
  • Keeps canonical packaged Qur’an bytes and integrity hashes unchanged while performing Bismillah normalization only in the reader display layer.
  • Preserves search, bookmarks, Resume, copy/share, retry recovery and normalized Arabic search without modifying canonical display text.

Whole-corpus sign-off

The project owner privacyOG explicitly signed off the complete 114-surah / 6,236-ayah SalahOS 2026 corpus for V1.6.0 release on 2026-09-09. The authoritative sign-off is recorded in src/data/quran-scholarly-signoff.json.

The verse-level review register remains supplemental provenance and is not artificially expanded into 6,236 machine-generated reviewer records. CI validates the complete corpus, required Mutashabih seed treatments, translation identity, Uthmani/Hafs/Medina provenance and the explicit whole-corpus sign-off.

Islamic Knowledge

  • Separates Qur’an, Hadith and Fiqh & questions scopes.
  • Makes content and source information easier to reach on mobile while keeping translation distinct from commentary.
  • Renames the abbreviated Hadith “Isnad” field to Companion narrator while retaining sourced grading and school distinctions.
  • Aligns curated Qur’an excerpts with the SalahOS 2026 identity while preserving explicit Uthmani Arabic, Pickthall baseline and tafsir provenance.

Quality and release engineering

  • Synchronises npm/package-lock to 1.6.0, Android to versionCode 11 / versionName 1.6.0, and iOS to build 11 / marketing version 1.6.0.
  • Retains formatting, lint, typecheck, unit/coverage, Qur’an integrity/governance, dependency/security, mosque reproducibility, production-build and bundle-budget checks.
  • Retains permanent Quality, Visual Regression, Android emulator lifecycle, iPhone/iPad Simulator and Windows executable workflows.
  • Keeps publication fail-closed on the exact current main revision, persistent Android signing, archive integrity, exact final file-set verification and SHA-256 verification.

Downloadable v1.6.0 assets

A successful publication contains:

  • SalahOS-v1.6.0-android.apk
  • SalahOS-v1.6.0-android.aab
  • SalahOS-v1.6.0-windows-x64.exe
  • SalahOS-v1.6.0-web-pwa.zip
  • SalahOS-v1.6.0-raspberry-pi-kiosk.tar.gz
  • SHA256SUMS.txt

GitHub also exposes the standard source-code ZIP and tarball for the release tag.

Distribution boundaries

A consumer iOS/iPadOS .ipa is not included because Apple distribution signing/provisioning is not configured. No native macOS .dmg is included because SalahOS has no native macOS target.

Physical Android/iOS device acceptance remains a separately tracked hardware-validation item. Emulator/Simulator/browser evidence is not represented as physical-device testing. By project-owner release decision, that outstanding hardware validation is documented as a post-release follow-up rather than a blocker to the V1.6.0 downloadable release.
