What's Changed in v1.7.8

  • Context Menu Dialog & Link Opening: Refactored link context menus into Material 3 BottomSheetDialog to eliminate touch interception freezes on web views and properly wired open in new tab, incognito, reading list, and download actions.
  • ML Kit Image Recognition & Scan Results: Resolved UI thread crashes by dispatching ML Kit text/barcode detection results to the main thread looper and rendering interactive scan bottom sheet overlay.
  • RvSystem-Monitor Haptics Integration: Integrated RvSystem-Monitor haptic feedback framework (LocalHapticEnabled, LocalVibrationIntensity) providing tactile feedback presets (LIGHT, MEDIUM, STRONG) and hapticClickable() modifiers across Petal.
  • Delete Browsing Data & Settings Icons: Aligned data category icons on the Clear Browsing Data page (PetalDeleteScreen.kt) with primary category icons in Settings.
  • Tab Manager Thumbnail Cache: Bound tab preview thumbnail eviction strictly to explicit tab closure, preserving cached snapshots during tab switching and navigation, and ensured faithful home screen thumbnail rendering.
  • Account Sync Screen Composition Audit: Fixed Kotlin scoping and brace balance in ChromeAccountSyncScreen.kt and PetalTheme.kt for clean release builds.
