Swimchain Android v0.1.10-alpha (mainnet — node recovery)

The build that fixes "zero peers."

A node that lost its peers could not get back on the network. This release fixes that, plus the outage it exposed on the seed.

What changed

• A stale peer cache can no longer strand you. Discovery falls back to seeds when nothing in the store connects, and a dead peer now loses score so it stops being re-dialled forever. Previously a phone holding one unreachable address would dial only that, indefinitely, with a healthy seed available the whole time.
• A wedged peer can no longer stall the node. Broadcasts release the connection-pool lock before sending, send concurrently, and drop a peer that fails three sends in a row — on every send path, not just broadcast.
• The accept loop no longer performs the handshake inline. One silent peer used to block the node from accepting anybody. This was the root cause: the mainnet seed's accept backlog pinned at 4097/4096 while the process looked perfectly healthy.

Verified

• Signed with the same key as every previous release — installs as an update
• lib/arm64-v8a/libswimchain_mobile_lib.so confirmed present (15.8 MB, ARM aarch64)
• Fleet has run this exact code for over an hour: 9–13 peers per node, zero stranded connections, zero accept backlog

Swimchain Desktop v0.1.15-alpha (mainnet — node recovery, and the installer ships a node again)

Carries the same node-recovery fixes as Android v0.1.10-alpha, plus a packaging bug worth stating plainly.

The installer had no node in it

The desktop app spawns resource_dir()/binaries/sw.exe. That file has not been in the bundle since #46, which removed the resource entry to unbreak a build rather than stage the missing file. Every installer since shipped an app looking for a node it did not have.

It is back, the release build stages it, and the preflight now refuses to bundle without it — so this cannot recur silently.

Verified inside this MSI: sw.exe (23.9 MB) and all six launcher apps.

Node fixes

• A stale peer cache can no longer strand a node. Seeds are retried when the peer store yields nothing reachable, and failed dials cost score so dead addresses stop being re-dialled forever.
• A wedged peer can no longer stall the node. Broadcasts release the pool lock before sending, send concurrently, and a peer failing three consecutive sends is dropped — on every send path.
• The accept loop no longer handshakes inline. One silent peer used to stop the node accepting anybody; the mainnet seed's backlog pinned at 4097/4096 while every health check read green.

Verified

Fleet has run this exact code for over an hour: 9–13 peers per node, zero stranded connections, zero accept backlog.

Swimchain Android v0.1.9-alpha (mainnet — checkpoint)

Consolidated checkpoint: full-bleed feed media carousel with swipe galleries (#102), no-rubber-band overscroll (#106), and the node's same-second listing fix with automatic index migration (#108). versionCode 1002 — installs as an update over any earlier build.

Swimchain Android v0.1.8-alpha (mainnet — full-bleed feed media)

Feed images now run edge-to-edge like a modern mobile feed: full-width media with a capped 4:5 crop for tall images, and an Instagram-style swipe carousel (snap, dots, n/N counter) for multi-image posts. From PR #102. App version 0.1.1 / versionCode 1001 — installs as an update over previous builds.

Consolidated checkpoint: full-bleed feed media carousel (#102), unlock/connect fixes (#105), chat layout fix + no-rubber-band overscroll across every client (#106), launcher fits its app grid and app windows open on-screen and remember their size/position (#107), and the node's same-second listing fix with automatic index migration (#108).

Swimchain Desktop v0.1.13-alpha (mainnet — chat layout fix)

Fixes the chat app being shoved off the top of the window when a space has many channels (channel list now scrolls internally; scroll-to-newest scrolls the message pane only, never the page). From PR #106. Carries the v0.1.12 unlock/connect fixes and the v0.1.11 full-bleed feed carousel.

Swimchain Desktop v0.1.12-alpha (mainnet — unlock/connect fix)

Fixes the launcher failing to connect after an upgrade ("Cookie file not found"): unlock retries no longer delete the running node's RPC cookie, first starts get up to 2 minutes for post-upgrade reindexing (was 10s), and a crashed node sidecar is respawned instead of wedging the app. From PR #105. Carries everything in v0.1.11-alpha (full-bleed feed media carousel, #102).

Swimchain Desktop v0.1.11-alpha (mainnet — full-bleed feed media)

Feed images now fill the card edge-to-edge with a capped natural aspect ratio, and multi-image posts get a swipeable carousel with dots and an n/N counter (feed and post detail). From PR #102. App version 0.1.1.

Swimchain Android v0.1.7-alpha (mainnet — post images)

Bundles the node media_refs fix: post images that had dropped their references now resolve. From PR #95.

Swimchain Android v0.1.6-alpha (mainnet — fixed)

Fixes the app not connecting to peers. The bundled node was hardcoded to testnet (NetworkMode::Testnet) despite the previous release being labeled mainnet, so it dialed testnet seeds and never joined the mainnet network. This build joins mainnet (seed 167.71.241.252:9735) and uses a network-specific data dir so no manual clear-data is needed. arm64-v8a. (PR #91)
