celzero/rethink-app v0.4.2

on GitHub

Bugs:

1. ANR in ScreenLockService.
2. Limit crashes when restarting the VPN.
   2a. DNS screen: An artificial delay of 1s between DNS changes.
   2b. Home screen: As above, changing "app-modes" has an artificial delay 1s to limit crashes in LwIP stack due to rapidly restarting the VPN.
3. Fixed incorrect median latency calculation with a simpler though brute force approach.
4. WebView showing the BraveDNS FAQ webpage was lying around cached as a background activity. Destroying it now when user navigates away from it.
5. ANRs in the home-screen: LiveData powers the View instead of make-shift multi-threaded implementation.
6. Firewall now correctly works on Android 8+ (previously it worked only on Android 10+).

Features:

1. Network monitor: A real-time running log of network activity tagged per-app with details about IP address, port, transport protocol, timestamp, and geo IP location of the server. This log is gathered from the BraveVPNService#block calls made by the outline-go-tun2socks layer on every new TCP or UDP connection.
2. Firewall screen now correctly handles the scenario where multiple packages can have the same UID. Firewall still functions per-uid (and not per package, though it is uncommon for application packages to share UIDs).
3. Users can now firewall System apps.
4. About page: Tells a bit about the project, shows telegram group and github links. Added to the home-screen fragment.

Refactors:

1. Firewall screen: A new look firewall screen that is more "correct" in face of any number of updates. LiveData + Room to the rescue.
2. Various UI related changes (including text copy).
