Latest release 0.1.2 — 11 August 2026

Unreleased

In progress

Added

  • Direct download links on the website for the Windows installer and the Android APK, so the apps can be installed before they reach the stores.
  • A public changelog page on the website, listing every release with its downloads.
  • Short descriptions on the studio homepage tiles, which previously carried only a label.

Changed

  • The website now lives at virofactory.site and deploys automatically from main.
  • The ViroFactory logo is used for the site mark and the browser tab icon, replacing the ArcRelay app icon.
  • Homepage tile labels no longer sit flush against their headings.
  • The changelog page's header button leads back to ArcRelay instead of the Windows download.

Removed

  • The "One product live" badge from the studio hero.
  • The decorative "Paired locally" latency chip from the ArcRelay hero.

0.1.2

11 August 2026

Added

  • A Microsoft-first Windows publishing checklist covering Microsoft Store/MSIX and direct MSI/EXE distribution.
  • Product, usage, feature, privacy, and QA documentation for website and release planning.
  • A Windows CI guard that fails when packaging produces no .exe or .msi installer.
  • Responsive Android branding assets for light and dark app themes.
  • Bluetooth receiver metadata discovery so the mobile app can display the configured ArcRelay computer name.

Changed

  • Refined Android logo sizing and header alignment across phones and tablets.
  • Improved compact Android control labels and startup branding.
  • Bluetooth discovery now completes from the actual scan-finished event with a short SDP grace period instead of waiting through sequential scan windows.
  • LAN discovery reads the receiver name from live preferences for every request, so renames appear without restarting the receiver.

Fixed

  • Light-mode Android logo visibility when the device system theme and ArcRelay theme differ.
  • Bluetooth search no longer spends a second full timeout verifying service UUIDs after classic discovery.
  • Bluetooth results are filtered to the ArcRelay RFCOMM service while bonded devices can use cached UUIDs immediately.

0.1.1

6 August 2026

Added

  • Windows-first Tauri receiver with a React interface and native Rust runtime.
  • Native Android companion for Android 6 and newer, including phone and tablet layouts.
  • Local-network discovery over UDP and pairing through a QR code or six-digit code.
  • Remembered devices with revocation support and certificate-pinned TLS pairing.
  • Network, USB-tether, and Bluetooth connection targets where supported.
  • Xbox-compatible virtual controller output through the replaceable ViGEmBus adapter.
  • Offset, symmetric, and steering-wheel layout defaults.
  • Layout editor with controls, presets, groups, copy/paste properties, artwork, backgrounds, sensor configuration, and responsive preview.
  • Buttons, D-pads, sticks, triggers, sliders, sensors, steering, touchpad, trackpad, volume, mute, and custom key bindings.
  • Tilt, steering, motion tracking, and shake-detection sensor modes.
  • Optional control haptics on supported Android devices.
  • Desktop layout synchronization and device connection status.
  • Light, dark, and system themes with reduced-motion support.
  • Artwork and layout-background libraries, plus custom imported assets.
  • Windows CI packaging for NSIS .exe and MSI installers.

Changed

  • Layout stages use the available device surface while preserving each control’s intended geometry.
  • Round controls preserve their aspect ratio during editing and preview.
  • Default layouts load from versioned bundled assets and deduplicate by stable IDs.
  • Android navigation and connection states are more responsive during reconnects and layout loading.
  • Haptic feedback and sensor updates operate without changing the wire protocol.

Verified

  • Web unit tests and production build pass with the repository toolchain.
  • Rust receiver tests pass through Cargo.
  • Android debug unit tests and APK assembly pass.
  • Debug APK verified on a Xiaomi phone and Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T515 in portrait and landscape.

Known issues

  • Windows gamepad output requires ViGEmBus on Windows 10/11. ArcRelay does not install that system driver silently.
  • The receiver and Android companion should run on the same trusted local setup or use a supported direct transport.
  • Public release still requires trademark, privacy, security, store-policy, and installer-signing review.
