v0.1.906 Aug 2026·Tabs & interface

The version number in the app is honest again

A small but real fix. The version shown in the About box and Settings had been a hand-maintained number in the code, and it had quietly drifted: it read 0.1.80 while the app was actually several releases newer. That is worse than a cosmetic wrong number, because the same value is what the update check compares against - so an install could be offered an 'update' to a release it was already running. The version is now derived from the build itself, so it can never drift from the real version again: the number in the app, the number sent with opt-in stats, and the number the update check compares are all the one true build version. The one-press self-update was also verified end to end on a real install - an older build downloaded the signed bundle, installed it OVER itself in place (no second copy left behind), and relaunched into the new version with tabs and history intact. No engine or web-platform change, so every parity figure holds.

What changed 3 changes

Tabs & interface	Fixed: the app version shown in About and Settings is now derived from the build at compile time instead of a hand-maintained constant that had drifted to 0.1.80 while the app was newer. The number in the UI, the number sent with opt-in stats, and the number the update check compares are now always the true build version.
Tabs & interface	Fixed: because the update check compared against that stale constant, an install could be offered an update to a version it was already running. With the version derived from the build, the check compares the real version and only offers a genuinely newer release.
Tabs & interface	Verified: the one-press self-update was tested end to end on a real install - it downloaded the signed bundle, installed it in place OVER the running app (a single app, no duplicate copy), and relaunched into the new version with tabs and history preserved.
