Changelog

Unreleased — 0.3 development

  • Add native message cards, media playback/queues, TTS, visible voice/camera flows, bundled OCR/barcodes, sensors, Cast discovery, local scenes, events and optional Home Assistant/MQTT integration. See docs/FEATURES.md for exact behavior.
  • Replace the long controls list with Home, Display, Media, Scenes and Device destinations: TV side navigation, compact bottom navigation, persistent drafts, input validation, readable results and accessible focus states.
  • Guide token setup and pairing, offer controls after successful pairing, confirm pairing/scene deletion, and group integration settings.
  • Preserve the unchanged upstream SDK while fixing graceful service restart, BLE lifecycle, SDK-report deduplication and UUID event sessions.
  • Restrict file operations to the workspace; make the trusted developer shell a local opt-in. Native cryptography advisories remain unresolved.
  • Add a modern Python 3.13 build for 64-bit/16 KiB devices alongside the four-ABI Python 3.11 build required by 32-bit Chromecast userspace.
  • Add real device/emulator verification, native alignment checks and CI artifacts.
  • Refresh README visuals, add a Traditional Chinese guide, device/feature issue forms, a conduct policy and a practical community launch pack.

These source changes are not a published 0.3 release. Production signing, physical phone/tablet and integration coverage, and a 72-hour soak remain open.

0.2.0 — one APK for every Android device

  • minSdk 28 → 24, targetSdk 34 → 35; all four ABIs ship (armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, x86_64). API-gated service paths (legacy notification + startService on 24/25, channels + typed foreground service on 26+), booted on phone emulators at 24/34/35 and a TV emulator at 34 (25 shares 24's path, unbooted).
  • All <uses-feature> now required=false: the APK installs anywhere and degrades honestly — Probe reports BLE peripheral readiness, overlay grant, and battery exemption; Pair refuses on peripheral-less hardware with guidance instead of an exception.
  • In-app prerequisite setup: Probe buttons deep-link the overlay grant and the battery-exemption list (no more adb-only setup), and Probe requests POST_NOTIFICATIONS on 33+ so service-error alerts can actually show.
  • deviceIp falls back from Wi-Fi to interface enumeration (Ethernet-only boxes); generic (non-Chromecast) copy throughout; all UI strings extracted to resources.
  • Android 15 edge-to-edge insets, scrollable button row on narrow phones, no-shared-storage guard in the token import.
  • lintDebug clean: 0 errors, 0 NewApi (newer-target warnings accepted in lint-baseline.xml; newer target behavior was not validated).
  • Compatibility matrix with per-API/ABI proof: docs/COMPATIBILITY.md.

0.1.0 — Chromecast with Google TV

  • Native BLE pairing on Android TV (same service UUIDs and pairing v5 as upstream; phone app pairs unchanged).
  • Foreground service (:gadget process) hosting the musegadget run loop, with boot restart once paired.
  • tv.launch (open apps/URLs via intents) and tv.cast (Cast control, defaulting to the dongle itself).
  • tv.cast play_url hard-won reliability: quit lingering session first (invisible-playback fix), BUFFERED default with stream override (pychromecast's LIVE default never leaves IDLE on VOD), one retry when the first LOAD races receiver boot, and post-play verification so dead loads report errors instead of fake "playing".
  • Probe screen: BLE capability report plus Chaquopy import check.
  • Pairing reset button; SDK-token import validation; honest error states.
