    {
      "version": "1.0.43",
      "released": "2026-06-01",
      "changes": "- Self-upgrade now ends with a \"Restart Rubus\" button instead of leaving the progress page hanging. Since bb10-bar-install no longer fires msg::removeApp, navigator stops killing Rubus mid-upgrade — so the new BAR lands but the old process keeps running with no signal to refresh. Tapping the button spawns a detached relauncher via /bin/__devuser that waits ~2s and then writes msg::launchApp to navigator/control, then Rubus exits and navigator launches the new version."
    },
    {
      "version": "1.0.42",
      "released": "2026-06-01",
      "changes": "- No code changes — version bump only, to retest the self-upgrade trampoline end-to-end now that the bb10-bar-install no-removeApp fix is live and the lib/apk/exec permission issue on /accounts/1000/shared/misc/apk has been resolved."
    },
    {
      "version": "1.0.41",
      "released": "2026-06-01",
      "changes": "- Dropped the bundled apk + bar-install binaries from the .bar. Both are now installed and kept current by the bb10-apk-tools and bb10-bar-install packages (which Rubus already depends on), so shipping copies in our own bundle was dead weight and a stale-version risk. Bar size drops ~1.5 MB.\n- Pair this update with bb10-bar-install 20260601, which removes the legacy `msg::removeApp` that caused Rubus's icon to vanish when a self-upgrade trampoline failed mid-install."

    {
      "version": "1.0.40",
      "released": "2026-05-30",
      "changes": "- HTTPS works in Rubus. Rebuilt the bundled Qt6 Network module with -openssl-linked against a static OpenSSL 1.1.1w (no-asm, no-async). Before this, per-package sidecar JSONs, icons, screenshots, and pretty-print names — all served over HTTPS — silently failed because the Qt build had no working TLS backend.\n- Self-upgrade is now routed through /bin/__devuser so bar-install runs in the devuser perimeter and survives navigator's msg::removeApp kill of Rubus's own BAR."
    },
    {
      "version": "1.0.39",
      "released": "2026-05-30",

      "version": "1.0.38",
      "released": "2026-05-30",
      "changes": "- Home page text rewritten: dropped the reference to a 'Browse' tab that never existed, added an explicit list of the actual six tabs (Home/Sources/Changes/Installed/Search/Queue) and what each does, corrected the CLI tool install paths (the apk binary is at the root of /accounts/1000/shared/misc/apk/, not under usr/bin/), pointed the 'Running your own repo' section at app_dev/apk-repo-source/, and added BerryCore + per-package log paths to the 'Paths Worth Knowing' list."

      "version": "1.0.36",
      "released": "2026-05-30",
      "changes": "- Search now finds substrings, not just name prefixes (typing 'telegram' now finds 'bb10-telegramx'). Switched from `apk search` (prefix only) to `apk list -v \"*<query>*\"` and lowercased the query because the glob is case-sensitive. As a bonus this also covers installed-but-no-longer-in-APKINDEX packages."

      "version": "1.0.34",
      "released": "2026-05-29",
      "changes": "- Self-upgrade: dropped the detached-trampoline pattern (which lost the race against navigator's perimeter kill) and the helper-service idea. Rubus now drives bar-install synchronously. bar-install copies the new bar to /var/android/<dname> and writes the runtimeInstall PPS object BEFORE issuing msg::removeApp; by the time navigator kills Rubus, everything upd needs to complete the install is on disk. upd finishes the install in its own perimeter, immune to the kill.\n- UI nits: 'Upgrade All' moved out of the cramped Changes-tab header into the bottom button row (was being clipped on narrow screens); the round ↻ refresh icon replaced with a 'Refresh' text button (the Unicode glyph rendered as a missing-glyph line on stock BB10 fonts)."

      "changes": "- Self-upgrade flow: when the queue contains bb10-apkui, Rubus now prompts and then writes the install commands to a script, spawns it detached, and quits cleanly. The script sleeps 3s (Rubus is gone by then), runs apk add -u and bar-install. Goal: navigator has no live Rubus to kill when bar-install fires msg::removeApp, so the install can complete. Log: /accounts/1000/shared/misc/apk/var/log/pending-self-upgrade.log."

    {
      "version": "1.0.29",
      "released": "2026-05-29",
      "changes": "- Fixed: the 'Refresh Repos' button on the Changes tab (and the header refresh on Changes/Installed) only ran `apk update` — the sidecar JSON metadata cache was NEVER wiped, so newly added fields (like a package's screenshots) silently never reached the device. Unified both refresh buttons to wipe + re-fetch metadata."

      "changes": "- Self-upgrade now actually upgrades. The queue executor was running `apk add <pkg>` which is a no-op for already-installed packages — switched to `apk add -u <pkg>` so the upgrade-available path runs.\n- Home page now shows the running version (under the tagline) — quick way to verify a self-upgrade landed."

      "changes": "- Version picker overhaul: queue now dedupes by package name, so picking a version after queueing the bare name (or switching versions) leaves exactly one entry. Picker shows installed + queued markers per row, has a 'Clear pin' button, and an explicit 'Close' button. Detail page shows 'Queued for install: x.y.z' when a version is pinned, and the 'Other versions' button changes to 'Queued: x.y.z   change ▾'.\n- Queue tab: tap any row to unqueue just that entry (used to be all-or-nothing).\n- Tapping the installed version in the picker now clears the pin instead of being a silent no-op."
