## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.38 — 2026-08-29

Calls: added a short post-accept grace before the call opens; and enabled VPN and self-hosted (WebRTC) calls for all users.
Meet: the system call screen now hides as soon as the meeting ends.
App freeze / audio: fixed the app freezing on return from the background by moving audio-session work off the main thread and deferring on-foreground refetches; and fixed background audio being interrupted right after app start.
UX: slowed screen-transition timing, and separated permission requests to avoid confusion.

### 1.0.37 — 2026-08-22

Calls: redesigned the private call screen.
Chat loading: fixed the loading placeholder rendering blank.
Stability: fixed an app freeze when returning to the app.
Media viewer: fixed the message list jumping after closing the media viewer.

### 1.0.36 — 2026-08-20

Meet deep links: meet-v5 and meet-v6 links now open in the app like meet.stella.red (associated domains + Android/iOS link handling).
Audio / background: fixed an app hang on returning from the background.
Stability: guarded a Jitsi pinch-to-zoom crash when a finger lifts mid-gesture, and reworked the biometric-settings toggle to derive its state directly.

### 1.0.35 — 2026-08-19

Calls: fixed an Agora double-initialization bug that could leak the audio session and leave later calls silent until an app restart; self-hosted (WebRTC) calls now recover from a brief network drop via ICE restart instead of ending on the first lost packet; refined remote-participant drop handling so a dropped peer gets a grace window instead of an immediate hang-up.
Chat: the date separator and last-message state now update correctly as new messages arrive (previously they could freeze at their value from when the message first rendered).
VPN/tunnel: upgraded icegate-tunnel to 0.4.0 with the broker-based connection flow.
Navigation: fixed opening a pending meet link on launch being silently dropped when triggered from a nested screen's mount.
Queued actions: show an error toast when a queued action (e.g. a reaction) fails to send.

### 1.0.34 — 2026-08-15

Calls: fixed the system meet-call screen not closing when the meeting ends, and stopped a new outgoing call from being torn down when started right after a previous one ended.
Chat drafts: file attachments are now saved in and restored from drafts, with server-expired files dropped automatically.
Settings: localized the self-hosted calls (WebRTC/Agora) toggle.
Under the hood: improved socket event handling.
