Silent Mode — releases

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · 2026-10-27 · A navigation to a .com / .net / .io / country-code TLD that fails DNS now shows the DNS-flavoured This name did not resolve page instead of the BCNR-flavoured That name is not registered page. The old framing pushed a Register on Sirius action for sites that are almost certainly real clearnet domains whose DNS temporarily broke (hostile Wi-Fi AAAA mangling is the usual cause). Non-ICANN TLDs (.bch, .x, …) keep the register-first framing.

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · 2026-10-27 · Pick AI is now its own strip button next to the AI launch button, not a chevron badge glued onto it. Launch button opens the current engine in the panel; Pick button (three-row list glyph) opens the picker overlay to switch engines. Right-click on the launch button still opens the picker as a shortcut. Also: the Claude connector chip in the toolbar gets a max-width + ellipsis + flex-shrink so a long Claude N tabs string no longer squeezes the search box text out of view.

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · 2026-10-26 · Pick AI engine chevron on the sidebar AI button is now a visible acid-coloured badge (grew from a 10 px grey ghost in the corner) so the way to switch engines is actually discoverable. Click or Enter still opens the picker overlay; right-click on the main AI icon still works too. The sidebar strip and the picker also refresh their icons the moment a favicon fetch finishes — previously they kept the sym emoji until some other state change re-emitted.

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · bundled Node runtime · 2026-10-01 · Every subsystem is now individually switchable and reports its own state. New endpoint http://127.0.0.1/api/status returns a full state report (daemon version + startup + policy + permitted TLDs + ports + upstream + gateway; index size + warm-start source; per-source enabled/lastAttempt/lastSuccess/lastError/counters for snapshotHttps + electrumWss + perQueryLookup + diskCache + localApi). C:\ProgramData\Ariadne\policy.json extended with a `sources.<name>.enabled` block (hot-reloaded every 5 s alongside the collision policy) -- flip any source off to isolate a path or measure without it. Turning localApi off returns 503 with a hint pointing at the config file. Turning diskCache off skips writing bns-name-snapshot.json AND skips reading it at warm-start. Turning snapshotHttps off skips the HTTPS refresh; electrumWss off skips the WSS refresh; perQueryLookup off skips the per-query /api/name/ fallback. Includes 0.1.12 (orphan-safe upgrade + /api/tlds + /api/name/:n + /api/registry). Upgrades in place.

Android 5.0+ (API 21) · self-signed release key · 2026-10-22 · In the Grid tab-switcher, the + New tab card is now the same size as a real tab card instead of collapsing to roughly half the height. The two sit on the same baseline so the grid reads as one surface. Same signing key; installs over 0.46.

Android 5.0+ (API 21) · self-signed release key · 2026-10-22 · Hold any card on the LIVE row for a moment, then drag it between other cards to reorder — same gesture FAVORITES already use. The new order persists across restarts. Short tap-and-hold still opens the edit menu. Internally, a store-side unit test harness (63 assertions covering drag bounds, corrupt-prefs fallback, round-trip persistence) now guards this and the FAVORITES reorder from regressing. Same signing key; installs over 0.45.

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · 2026-10-08 · In Theseus, Send on Telegram and Send on WhatsApp open Theseus's own Telegram and WhatsApp apps at their share screens; the share menu shows the real Telegram, WhatsApp and X icons. The sidebar's Full page button is gone (the panel's Maximize does the same).

Windows 64-bit · unsigned · 2026-10-07 · Share opens a menu: copy the public link, open it, or send it on X, Telegram or WhatsApp. Shared links open on a page with a preview and a Download button.

Android 5.0+ (API 21) · signed · 2026-10-26 · Invite Friends: tapping a contact opens the system SMS composer pre-addressed to that number with the invite text ready to send; Share Hermes link stays as the chooser. Sign-out shows the 12-word recovery phrase AND the nsec when both exist on the device; nsec-only imports show the nsec with a note explaining why no 12 words are sealed.

Android 5.0+ (API 21) · signed · 2026-10-26 · Profile: Name / Surname / Username are three independent fields. The old code conflated the @handle with the real-name slot, so profile rows surfaced an npub as the "Name" value when no name was set. Each row is now empty with its own placeholder, and username publishes to kind:0 `name` separately from the `display_name` (First Last). Chats + contacts prefer First+Last, fall back to @username only when no name is on file. Room v8 destructive migration — chats and messages persist, cached profiles rebuild from relays.
