    # Changelog inkOS v0.3 - 03 October 2025 ## Home & Appdrawer - Performance Improvements: Better caching for faster loading of pages. ## Brightness Gesture/Action - Removed minimum brightness threshold (was 25/255); gestures can now set front light to true minimum. ## Clock/Date - Fixed bug where old preferences were saved when only alarm/calendar actions were available for clock widget.

    ## Volume Navigation - Fixed: Volume navigation buttons stopped working after adding a new app, swiping, or keypad up/down presses on keypad phones. - Added: Volume navigation is disabled when AudioWidget detects audio playing, allowing volume changes without opening the app. If audio is paused/stopped, page navigation with volume keys works as usual (if enabled in Settings / Extras). ## Home Screen & Widgets - Changed home screen app navigation dpad logic: can now move to previous page using dpad app. - Widgets are no longer focus-able (keypad shortcuts 2,6,7,8 access widgets). - Added simple vibration feedback for long-press to go to settings and for Set Home App function. ## Notification Window & Settings - Long-pressing Dismiss button now dismisses all notifications. - Changed solid separators to dashed separators for less visual distraction. - Limited notification title to one line to prevent layout breakage. - Notification allowlists: Hidden apps can now be set; fixed bug where Home Notification Allowlist package list did not update. ## App Drawer - Swiping left or right in App Drawer now goes back (only from edges to avoid diagonal swipe conflict). - Fixed page miscalculation after renaming, hiding, showing, or uninstalling an app; pages now update properly without reopening App Drawer. ## Notifications Screen - Swiping left or right goes back (only from edges). ## Extras Screen - Added "Privacy" shortcut in Extras / System shortcuts for quick camera access (for Mudita Kompakt). - Renamed "E-ink Quality Mode / E-ink mode" to "E-ink Auto Mode". ## Settings - Replaced full-line separators with dashed separators for better focus on text. - Added donation link in Settings.
