Full Changelog: 1.8.11...1.8.12
Additional Notes
The removal of server-side thumbnails and image resizing is intentional and justified.
The rationale is documented in the related discussion:
#351 (comment)
In short, server-side resizing introduced unnecessary complexity, fragility, and quality degradation. The client now operates on original assets without relying on backend thumbnail generation.
Starting with this release, we are changing the release distribution model and returning to a single universal APK build.
The published artifact now directly corresponds to the master branch state.
Since Android Auto no longer requires a separate workaround-based build and the current implementation is stable, maintaining multiple parallel application variants is no longer necessary.
