[i]Due to the massive number of changes, v3.2.x is skipped in favour of v4.0.0. For the same reason the
release notes provided here are incomplete as only the most useful ones are noted.[/i]
</note>
<note>App Manager is now on [a href="https://matrix.to/#/#appmanager:matrix.org"]Matrix[/a]!</note>

<title type="medium">App Info</title>

4. Xposed API dependency info[br /]
5. Scope (if available statically).
</note>
<improve>List SAF files and directories in a user-friendly manner</improve>
<note subtext="true">
Instead of a raw representation of the granted URI, display authority, type of file or folder, and the file
or folder itself in a meaningful way. It also attempts to retrieve the original file path when possible.
</note>

<title type="medium">Backup/Restore</title>
<improve>Display backup extras and rules in no-root mode</improve>

<title type="medium">Debloater</title>

</note>
<improve>App list is now taken from android-debloat-list</improve>
<note subtext="true">
[a href="https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/android-debloat-list"]android-debloat-list[/a] is a new project
aimed at improving debloating experience by listing the details in a more structured way and list potential
alternatives of the bloatware with usability and reproducibility in mind.
</note>

<title type="medium">Docs</title>
<fix>Fixed App Manager links in the docs</fix>

<title type="medium">Editor</title>
<improve>Enabled editing files via Code Editor from third-party applications</improve>
<improve>Enabled editing AXML (Android APK's binary XML format) files</improve>
<improve>Improved memory usage during loading or saving a file</improve>
<fix>Fixed clearing texts on configuration changes</fix>
<fix>Fixed writing to files that were managed by ContentProvider</fix>

<title type="medium">Explorer</title>
<improve>Avoided decoding AXML files</improve>
<note subtext="true">Decoding should be done by code editors, not explorers.</note>

<title type="medium">Files</title>
<new>Added a floating action button to create new files, folders and links</new>
<note subtext="true">
It allows creating a few blank documents. They include: text files, PDF, documents (docx/odt), sheet
(xlsx/ods), presentation (pptx, odp) and SQLite3 database.
</note>
<new>Added intent-filters that allows opening folders from third-party apps</new>
<new>Display path navigation on top</new>
<note subtext="true">
Using the path navigation, it is possible to navigate to any parent folders quite easily, or navigate to any
arbitrary location using the “Edit” or “Go to” button.[br /]

Long clicking on any path also displays a popup menu which can be used to copy the path, open it in a new
window or view properties.
</note>
<new>Display thumbnails for supported files</new>
<new>Implemented all the unimplemented features in popup menus</new>
<note subtext="true">
Implemented copy- and cut-paste options, shortcut creation, multiple selection options such as batch
renaming, deletion, cut/copying and sharing. Note that [u]copy and paste options are experimental and should
be handled with care.[/u]
</note>
<new>Implemented settings for file manager</new>
<note subtext="true">
Added option to set home directory, remember last opened folder and position, and whether to display the
file manager as “Files” in the app drawer like a regular app.
</note>
<improve>Added searching in the “Open with” dialog</improve>
<improve>Added support for SAF/tree URIs</improve>
<note subtext="true">
SAF access is currently very slow and its usage isn't recommended if there are a lot of files in the folder.
</note>
<improve>Display folder info (size, file count, etc.) as a subtitle</improve>
<improve>Display helpful messages when a folder is empty, non-existent or invalid</improve>
<improve>
Implemented modification of access and modification dates, permissions, UID/GID and SELinux context in the
properties dialog
</improve>
<improve>Open resolved symbolic link instead of the link itself</improve>
<improve>Remember the selection locations for past opened folders in a session</improve>
<improve>Use file overlays to display directories inaccessible in no-root mode</improve>

<title type="medium">Installer</title>
<new>Added an option to perform DEX optimisation immediately after installing an app</new>
<new>Added the ability to modify installer options before installing an app</new>
<note subtext="true">
In the installation dialog, clicking on the settings/cog icon opens a new dialog where the installer
options can be temporarily set for the session. Any items queued for the session will retain those temporary
options.
</note>
<improve>Display installation progress in the notification</improve>
<note subtext="true">
In some devices such as Samsung, it takes an indefinite amount of time to verify the app after copying the
APK files. For those cases, the progress won't be accurate as it only takes into account the amount of time
to copy the files.
</note>
<improve>Display “Confirm install” notification even if the app is running in foreground</improve>
<note subtext="true">
In no-root mode, when the app is running in foreground, the user may accidentally dismiss the
install-confirmation dialog produced by the Android package installer which would either allow the
installation to run forever or for a minute until the timeout occurs. To solve the issue, a silent
notification is triggered at the same time the dialog is shown so that even if the user accidentally
dismisses the dialog, the dialog can still be displayed by clicking the notification.
</note>
<fix>Fixed parsing unsigned APK files</fix>
<fix>Fixed installing apps for users other than the main profile</fix>

<title type="medium">Interceptor</title>
<fix>Prevented the app from crashing on creating a shortcut with invalid extras</fix>
<note subtext="true">
Shortcuts support only 11 types of data structures. Intents, on the other hand, support any type of data
structures. When a shortcut creation is requested, the unsupported data structures are removed from the
Intent to avoid crashes.
</note>

<title type="medium">Labs</title>
<improve>Display “System Config” page in all modes of operation</improve>

<title type="medium">Main page</title>
<new>Added a new filtering option “Stopped apps“ to filter the force-stopped apps</new>
<new>Added filtering by users in the list options</new>
<new>Added a new batch operation “Optimise” to dex optimisation of the selected apps</new>
<improve>Display user count alongside app ID</improve>
<note subtext="true">
If an app is installed in more than one profiles (that is, for multiple users), instead of displaying only
the kernel user ID (UID), display the app ID (that is, UID sans the user ID) and user count in the following
format:[br /]

[tt]&amp;lt;user count&amp;gt;+&amp;lt;app ID&amp;gt;[/tt]
</note>

<title type="medium">Scanner</title>
<new>Display link to Pithus report if available</new>
<improve>Calculate file hashes more efficiently</improve>
<fix>Fixed scanning external APK files in privileged mode</fix>

<title type="medium">Settings</title>
<new>Added options to run App Manager in the background</new>
<note subtext="true">
In Settings > Privacy, two new options have been added:[br /]
1. Run App Manager in the background[br /]
2. Automatic lockdown[br /]
[br /]

Running App Manager in the background makes the annoying “Initializing” screen go away. Due to possible
privacy issues, this option is disabled by default. When automatic lockdown is enabled, App Manager will
attempt to lock the app by killing its process. As expected, there are several side effects:[br /]
1. All the activities will be closed. They'll be reopened by the system based on how the user was
interacting with them[br /]
2. All the running operations as well as scheduled or running jobs will be stopped immediately. This might
cause data loss if potentially destructive operations are running.[br /]
[br /]

Note: Enabling the latter option does not wipe the memory of App Manager, i.e. it does not prevent a
forensic software from scrapping the memory used by App Manager even if the process no longer exists.
</note>
<new>Added option to disable sending notification to the connected devices</new>
<note subtext="true">
The setting is located at [a href="app-manager://settings/advanced_prefs"]Settings > Advanced > Send
notifications to the connected devices[/a] and is enabled by default. Low importance notifications, e.g.
ongoing notifications and optional alerts, won't be delivered to the connected devices even if the setting
is enabled.
</note>
<fix>Fixed saving backup options</fix>
<fix>Prevented a crash that occurs on importing the rules if some of them are invalid</fix>

<title type="medium">UI</title>
<improve>
Better handling of application-wide notifications including the progress of various operations
</improve>
<improve>Display all multi-selection options in a single row with an overflow menu at the end</improve>
<improve>Display icons in popup menus</improve>
<improve>Display shortcut editor before creating a shortcut along with a preview panel</improve>
<improve>Improved layouts of popup and dropdown menus</improve>

<title type="medium">Usage</title>
<improve>Fetch data usage for all apps in Android 5 and 5.1</improve>
<improve>Fetch usage stats and package size info only when the feature is enabled</improve>
<improve>Reduced lags by recycling views</improve>

<title type="medium">Others</title>
<new>New mode of operation: System (UID 100)</new>
<improve>Enabled backing up data from App Manager via Android-default backup systems</improve>
<improve>Improved DEX optimiser</improve>
<note subtext="true">
DEX optimiser now works in no-root mode for apps installed with App Manager. In 1-Click Ops page, when
DEX optimiser is run, it attempts to optimise all apps in privileged mode. But in unprivileged mode, it only
attempts to optimise apps installed by App Manager. The option is also displayed in the App Info tab in
no-root mode for apps installed by App Manager.
</note>
<improve>Only allow connections from supported online locations</improve>
<note subtext="true">
To avoid issues with ADB, localhost is allowed unrestricted connections, but other websites, namely
virustotal.com and pithus.org, are restricted via public key pinning (PKP) using network security
configuration.
</note>
<improve>Replaced the usernames “Main” and “Work” with “This” and “Other”</improve>
<note subtext="true">
In no-root mode, usernames cannot be fetched from the system. Hence, “Main” and “Work” are inferred based on
the status of the system. However, this can cause issues if the app is installed in the Work profile.
Instead, the names “This” and “Other” are used to clarify the situation.
</note>
<improve>
Schedule cache cleaning job more actively to ensure App Manager's caches are cleared regularly
</improve>
<improve>
Use granted permissions rather than the mode of operation to check the eligibility of a feature
</improve>
<fix>Prevented crashing in Android 14 due to compatibility issues related to installer</fix>
<fix>Prevented crashing in various places due to lifecycle issues</fix>
