Updates
Even death stars have an exhaust vent.
Give large Drive publications a bounded progress budget and preserve pending provider syncs
Features
- Add an interactive sample Library demo
Fixes
- Publish larger SQLite Libraries without the stale receipt-count limit
- Scale the publication deadline to the pinned export while stopping attempts that make no useful progress for five minutes
- Reduce checkpoint encoding work without changing canonical bytes
- Keep scheduled provider syncs pending while verified writer admission is unavailable
- Restore persistent diagnostics for the Freed Desktop main window
- Keep local snapshot exports off the main thread so they do not block the interface or provider WebViews
- Seek directly to each checkpoint page instead of rescanning previously exported records
- Coalesce overlapping Drive publications and retain the export slot until canceled native work settles
- Recognize unlocked macOS sessions and accept fractional provider wake deadlines
- Distinguish missing or unreadable writer admission from a retired writer
- Treat a PWA Library held by another tab as busy rather than corrupted
- Preserve release lane controls and Library Core activation history
Follow-ups
- Verify Drive publication, writer admission, and LinkedIn extraction on the signed build
- Complete scheduled Facebook and Instagram observation on the installed build
- Update PWA clients before importing checkpoints above the former receipt-count limit, then verify bidirectional sync
LinkedIn feed sync works again after reconnecting
Fixes
- Restore LinkedIn extraction events after reconnecting the provider
- Read LinkedIn's current feed markup while excluding promoted posts
Follow-ups
- Verify the signed build against the connected LinkedIn account on the installation machine
Builds:v26.9.300-devDev
Saved-item notes and safer provider sync
Features
- Add searchable, synchronized notes to saved URLs and edit them later from the reader
- Preview URL metadata before saving while preserving notes entered during the preview
Fixes
- Keep LinkedIn and Instagram login windows separate from their scraper windows without losing the authenticated provider session
- Defer shared provider cleanup while Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium, or Substack work is active
- Show provider beta badges from one canonical metadata source
Follow-ups
- Verify the signed build against the connected LinkedIn and Instagram accounts on the installation machine
Private PWA recovery with a safe signed verifier
Features
- Install a separately named, signed Freed Preview build for isolated testing without replacing the normal Freed application or joining its updater channel
Fixes
- Recover Safari Private Browsing startup when durable OPFS SQLite is unavailable while keeping persistent sessions fail closed
Follow-ups
- Run installed verification and the bounded stability soak against the isolated dev build
Builds:v26.9.100-devDev
Atomic Google Drive checkpoints and resilient PWA sample data
Features
- Anonymous release demo experience
- Open Map and Friends on demand while keeping return visits available offline
- Keep PWA feeds and search bounded across 100,000 locally stored items
Fixes
- Recover safely if a PWA factory reset is interrupted and its stored reload data is damaged
- Reader, feed, and header polish
- Capture and scraper reliability fixes
- Release build and type-safety cleanup
- Complete PWA update checks promptly
- Keep sync status control stable
- Admit Google Drive installed sync trigger
- Refresh Google Drive authentication once and retry the exact failed request after a 401
- Reject corrupted PWA media ranges before they become available offline
- Pin each Google Drive checkpoint export to one SQLite read transaction so concurrent local writes cannot invalidate the upload
- Show progress while importing or clearing sample data
Follow-ups
- Prepare v26.8.3102-dev
- Refresh v26.8.3101-dev identity
- WebKit PWA corpus hardening
- Friends offset pagination with keysets
- Reduce PWA install bundle
- Page large Friends directories with stable SQLite keyset cursors
- Smaller PWA installs, stronger local storage recovery, and faster large Libraries
- Run installed build verification in an isolated profile
- Physical iPhone PWA acceptance
- Extend large-library proof to WebKit and whole-process memory
- Reliable PWA recovery and Google Drive authentication
- Verify the first Google Drive publication and exact retry against the real local Library
- Prove released Freed Desktop and PWA edits synchronize in both directions
- Soak the verified build before production promotion
