July 27, 2026 — Android client v0.0.7 (embedded frontend aligned with live web)

The Android client ships v0.0.7 with the embedded frontend realigned to the current live web version, removing features that have not yet shipped to the web so the preview client stays consistent with the web app.

• Client v0.0.7 keeps its embedded frontend in sync with the web app; security hardening carries over from v0.0.6.
• Android installers and update registration continue to be served directly from update.luck.moe.

July 27, 2026 — Android client v0.0.6; desktop client retired

The Android client ships v0.0.6, the desktop client is retired, and the download page now lists only the web app and Android.

• Android client v0.0.6: the embedded frontend is synced to the latest learning content, liquid glass interface, and i18n changes.
• Client security hardening: credential files are now readable only by the current user, OAuth callbacks validate state, and hot-update downloads are restricted by source and size.
• The Windows desktop client is retired and its entry has been removed from the download page.
• Android installers and update registration continue to be served directly from update.luck.moe.

June 7, 2026 — v1.0.3: client updates and signed installers

  • Desktop bundles (Windows, Linux, macOS) are signed with a freshly generated Tauri updater key.
• Android and Desktop clients bumped to v1.0.3 with refreshed build tooling and updater configuration.
• Desktop auto-update now has a real signing key in place — the previous v1.0.0 release shipped with a placeholder pubkey, which meant in-app updates were not usable.
