Changes since v9.1.18-beta

Stability

  • Android crashes. Hardened the two remaining crash candidates and started recording why the process died, so future crashes arrive with a cause attached (#8948). Guarded startForeground and gave serviceScope a handler, closing a startup crash path in the VPN service (#8947).
  • iOS/macOS tunnel teardown. The tunnel is now torn down when a network-extension restart fails, instead of being left in a half-started state (#8938).
  • iOS device ID. The network extension no longer sends a stale device ID; it sends an empty one and lets the app supply it (#8936).

Fixes

  • Pro status recognition. Every Pro check now goes through a single case-insensitive getter, so an unexpected capitalisation from the server can no longer make a paying account look like a free one (#8937).
  • Referral rewards. The reward dialog is awaited before referrals are marked as seen, so a reward can no longer be swallowed by dismissing the dialog early (#8932).
  • Account data parsing. user_failures is now parsed in both shapes the server can return, instead of failing on one of them (#8929, comment correction in #8931).
  • Android staging. Fixed staging-environment selection on Android (#8940).
  • Version promotion. Promoting a radiance version no longer requires the QUIC reject rule to be present (#8942).

Connectivity

Several radiance updates land in this build:

  • Config fetches now race multiple URLs rather than depending on one host (#8924), and a jsDelivr mirror is available for the config where the primary host is blocked (#8928).
  • Fixed a stall in client-info reporting that could delay startup (#8927, #8953).
  • Bumped radiance and the matching sing-box-minimal pin together (#8934).

Under the hood

  • Channel-aware update metadata is now published alongside releases, so the updater can distinguish beta from stable (#8903).
  • Referral UI updates (#8916).
  • Test coverage: the Dart suite runs on every pull request (#8930), a VPN smoke test with Firebase Test Lab support for Android (#8933), and a more reliable macOS connect-smoke preflight (#8922).
