🚀 What's New in v4.2.5

✨ Highlights

• Native Floating Window Migration: Re-engineered the floating keyboard from an overlay window into native IME window architecture using TOUCHABLE_INSETS_REGION. Completely eliminated the sensitive SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission and setup wizard step, added pass-through background touch handling, bottom control bar, multi-touch tracking, and persistent mode memory.
• Privacy Hardening & Permission Removal: Completely removed READ_CONTACTS permission and eliminated the contact dictionary. Removed REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission from standardfull, transitioning both standard and standardfull to direct GitHub Releases viewing in preparation for the v4.2.6 flavor merger.
• App Profiles (Compatibility Quirks Engine): Added per-app Allow Symbol Composing to keep symbols (such as underscores _) inside the active composing span instead of immediately committing them (resolving input filter rejections in apps like Tasker for %output_var), and added Force Non-Incognito to force learning/suggestions in private fields.

🛠️ Improvements & Enhancements

• Web & Browser Text Editor Fix: Exempted web text editors (Gecko/Firefox contenteditable, Chromium) from transient TYPE_NULL focus suppression, preventing dropped characters and composing lockups.
• Offline GGUF Translation Hardening: Hardened on-device translation output parsing, stripped <think>...</think> tags from reasoning models, and improved local model alias synchronization.
• Atomic Dictionary Staging & Validation: Hardened dictionary downloads with atomic file staging and strict file size verification to prevent corrupted dictionary states.
• Voice Plugin Polling & Log Optimization: Silenced repetitive getModelState logcat polling and scaled background check intervals for lower power consumption.

📦 Choose Your Flavor

⚠️ Flavor Merger Notice: Starting in v4.2.6, standardfull will be merged into standard. In preparation, both flavors now share a unified release viewing mechanism with zero REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES permission overhead. Users currently using standardfull can transition directly to standard.

💡 Plugin Compatibility: All flavors support Offline Voice Dictation (Android 8.1+), Offline Translation (Android 6.0+), Offline Handwriting Recognition (Android 6.0+), Offline OCR Text Extraction (Android 5.0+), and Offline AI Proofreading (Android 8.0+, 64-bit) via modular plugins, and work 100% offline.
