• iPhone screen-reader support

  The iPhone bridge exposes the shared accessibility information to VoiceOver. Floating interface regions appear in their reading position, so a compact screen’s Back control is encountered in the right place.

• iPhone text selection and keyboard input

  The iPhone’s text input connects to Lowfire’s own editor, including selection, caret placement and keyboard handling. Hardware-keyboard input and app shortcuts work even when no text field is focused.

• Automatic removal retries after publication recovers

  A removal turn is entered again when publication becomes possible, instead of remaining stalled after an earlier failure.

• Keyboard focus is visible on more controls

  Sidebar controls and every button style draw their keyboard focus ring, so keyboard navigation is easier to follow.

• Drop files into the conversation you can see

  A file drop stays with the visible conversation during navigation, rather than accidentally following a destination that has not yet appeared.

• Jump results keep the matching word visible

  Search snippets in Jump to… retain the matched word instead of trimming away the part that explains the result.

• Better call recovery and timing evidence

  Calls preserve packet arrival times through receiver stalls, undo quality cuts caused by a local stall and avoid unnecessary key-frame conflicts between group streams. The call measurements retain the timing and quality-change evidence used to investigate these cases.

• Emoji on a real iPhone

  The iPhone implementation fixes emoji rendering on physical devices.

• Pinned details grow with large text

  At the largest text size, pinned rows in Details become tall enough for their text instead of cutting it off.

• Linux text uses the correct weight

  Medium, semibold and bold Linux text is drawn from the font family’s matching face instead of being rendered at the wrong weight.

• Invite sheets fit short Linux windows

  The invite sheet scrolls its form above the footer so the controls remain available in a short window. The touch-test profile also stops showing Linux desktop window buttons over the phone layout.

• Recognise Ubuntu graphics drivers

  The Vulkan loader recognises Ubuntu’s driver names and shares that selection logic with the video bridge.

Designs, contracts and foundations are work in progress; they do not by themselves mean a finished feature is available.

• Private blocking and reporting design proposed

  A proposal sets out private account blocking and voluntary reports containing only material a person chooses to share. It remains a design at this point; blocking and reporting are not implemented.

• Signed account deletion foundations

  Account deletion gains an account-signed closing record, server cleanup and checks by readers of account records. This is the underlying deletion mechanism; it does not establish that every deletion interface is complete.
