- Sep 21, 2026 4.2.6### 💖 Support Our Work As an open-source, community-funded project, we operate on a very limited budget. If LeanType helps you daily, please consider supporting us on [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/LeanBitLab) or [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/leanbitlab-org). Sharing LeanType with friends and family makes a huge difference! ## 🚀 What's New in v4.2.6 ### ✨ Highlights - **Floating Window Layout & Dead Space Resolution**: Completely eliminated the persistent bottom dead space inside the floating keyboard window. By intercepting Android 15/16 window insets dispatch, dynamically disabling `fitsSystemWindows` on floating subviews, clamping occupied heights during measure passes, and performing a deferred re-measurement after layout transitions, the floating bubble now hugs key rows seamlessly with zero extraneous padding. - **Flavor Consolidation (`standardfull` Merged into `standard`)**: Successfully finalized the flavor streamlining announced in v4.2.5. The legacy `standardfull` flavor has been merged directly into `standard`. LeanType is now officially published as two clean, focused flavors (`standard` and `offline`), both operating with zero `REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES` permission overhead. Existing `standardfull` users can install the `standard` APK directly as an in-place upgrade. - **`TYPE_NULL` & Dialer Search Field Input**: Resolved an issue where input fields configured with `TYPE_NULL` (such as phone dialer search inputs and generic app search boxes) dropped input or caused keyboard dismissal. Explicit user show requests are now strictly respected.

### 🛠️ Improvements & Enhancements - **Bluetooth Keypress Audio Interception**: Fixed an issue where custom sound pack audio tracks interrupted car stereos and Bluetooth headsets by triggering AVRCP "Now Playing" playback sessions. LeanType now automatically falls back to native system UI click effects on connected Bluetooth A2DP devices, with an optional user toggle (**Settings → Plugins → Keypress Audio → Play custom sounds over Bluetooth**). - **Floating Popup Keys & Preview Clamping**: Corrected horizontal bounds calculation for key preview popups to prevent screen edge overflow in floating mode, and aligned popup rows strictly to parent key space coordinates. - **Stray Navigation Bar Artifact Suppression**: Fixed an edge-case where a transparent navigation bar artifact could linger during floating mode transitions. - **Pinned Selection State Fix**: Fixed an issue where the pinned text selection mode toggle in the suggestion strip did not reflect its active state properly. - **Theme Contrast & Auto-Reload**: Improved high-contrast color evaluation for toolbar key icons and enhanced automatic reloading when the system switches between dark and light themes. ## 📦 Choose Your Flavor > ℹ️ **Flavor Streamlining Completed**: As announced in v4.2.5, `standardfull` has been completely merged into `standard`. Users previously using `standardfull` can update directly using the `standard` APK with full data preservation. | Flavor | Size | Primary Focus | AI Engine | Plugins Setup | Internet | Release Updater | |:---|:---:|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---| | **`1-LeanType_4.2.6-standard-release.apk`** | 10.5 MB | **Recommended** | Cloud AI | In-app download or File import | Optional (AI/plugins) | ✅ View Release | | **`2-LeanType_4.2.6-offline-release.apk`** | 10.0 MB | **Offline** | Local LLM Plugin (8.0+) | Browser download + File import | 🚫 Zero Internet (No Permission) | ❌ None | > 💡 **Plugin Compatibility**: All flavors support **Offline Voice Dictation** (Android 8.1+), **Offline Translation** (Android 6.0+), **Offline Handwriting Recognition** (Android 6.0+), **Offline OCR Text Extraction** (Android 5.0+), and **Offline AI Proofreading** (Android 8.0+, 64-bit) via modular plugins, and work 100% offline. - Sep 19, 2026 4.2.5### 💖 Support Our Work As an open-source, community-funded project, we operate on a very limited budget. If LeanType helps you daily, please consider supporting us on [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/LeanBitLab) or [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/leanbitlab-org). Sharing LeanType with friends and family makes a huge difference! ## 🚀 What's New in v4.2.5 ### ✨ Highlights - **Native Floating Window Migration**: Re-engineered the floating keyboard from an overlay window into native IME window architecture using `TOUCHABLE_INSETS_REGION`. Completely eliminated the sensitive `SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` permission and setup wizard step, added pass-through background touch handling, bottom control bar, multi-touch tracking, and persistent mode memory. - **Privacy Hardening & Permission Removal**: Completely removed `READ_CONTACTS` permission and eliminated the contact dictionary. Removed `REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES` permission from `standardfull`, transitioning both `standard` and `standardfull` to direct GitHub Releases viewing in preparation for the v4.2.6 flavor merger. - **App Profiles (Compatibility Quirks Engine)**: Added per-app **Allow Symbol Composing** to keep symbols (such as underscores `_`) inside the active composing span instead of immediately committing them (resolving input filter rejections in apps like Tasker for `%output_var`), and added **Force Non-Incognito** to force learning/suggestions in private fields.

### 🛠️ Improvements & Enhancements - **Web & Browser Text Editor Fix**: Exempted web text editors (Gecko/Firefox contenteditable, Chromium) from transient `TYPE_NULL` focus suppression, preventing dropped characters and composing lockups. - **Offline GGUF Translation Hardening**: Hardened on-device translation output parsing, stripped `<think>...</think>` tags from reasoning models, and improved local model alias synchronization. - **Atomic Dictionary Staging & Validation**: Hardened dictionary downloads with atomic file staging and strict file size verification to prevent corrupted dictionary states. - **Voice Plugin Polling & Log Optimization**: Silenced repetitive `getModelState` logcat polling and scaled background check intervals for lower power consumption. ## 📦 Choose Your Flavor > ⚠️ **Flavor Merger Notice**: Starting in **v4.2.6**, `standardfull` will be merged into `standard`. In preparation, both flavors now share a unified release viewing mechanism with zero `REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES` permission overhead. Users currently using `standardfull` can transition directly to `standard`. | Flavor | Size | Primary Focus | AI Engine | Plugins Setup | Internet | Release Updater | |:---|:---:|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---| | **`1-LeanType_4.2.5-standard-release.apk`** | 10.5 MB | **Recommended** | Cloud AI | In-app download or File import | Optional (AI/plugins) | ✅ View Release | | **`1-LeanType_4.2.5-standardfull-release.apk`** | 10.5 MB | **Transitioning (Merging in v4.2.6)** | Cloud AI | In-app download or File import | Optional (AI/plugins) | ✅ View Release | | **`2-LeanType_4.2.5-offline-release.apk`** | 10.0 MB | **Offline** | Local LLM Plugin (8.0+) | Browser download + File import | 🚫 Zero Internet (No Permission) | ❌ None | > 💡 **Plugin Compatibility**: All flavors support **Offline Voice Dictation** (Android 8.1+), **Offline Translation** (Android 6.0+), **Offline Handwriting Recognition** (Android 6.0+), **Offline OCR Text Extraction** (Android 5.0+), and **Offline AI Proofreading** (Android 8.0+, 64-bit) via modular plugins, and work 100% offline. - Sep 18, 2026 4.2.4### 💖 Support Our Work As an open-source, community-funded project, we operate on a very limited budget.

Sharing LeanType with friends and family makes a huge difference! ## 🚀 What's New in v4.2.4 ### ✨ Highlights - **Hardware Keyboard Overhaul**: Restored suggestions, auto-correction, and dictionary prediction when typing with physical/hardware keyboards. Fixed NumLock state handling that previously bypassed text composition, resolved physical numpad keycodes, and guarded dead-key combining against invalid code points. - **App Profiles (Compatibility Quirks Engine)**: Introduced offline **App Profiles** (`AppQuirksManager`) for custom per-app compatibility settings, including direct commits, auto-space overrides, and per-app auto-correction toggles (resolving glitches such as Tasker underscore input). - **Calibrated Cursor Gestures**: Refined swipe-up cursor movement and spacebar touchpad scrolling with calibrated velocity dampening, eliminating jitter, overshoot, and erratic cursor jumping.
More…
- **Settings Overhaul & Reorganization**: Separated **Suggestions** and **Text Correction** into dedicated top-level categories, introduced coordinated preset sliders with fine-tuning drawers for confidence and aggressiveness, and indexed all sub-screens and granular settings in the in-app Search Registry. ### 🛠️ Improvements & Enhancements - **Voice Routing & Settings Navigation**: Unified voice input routing across Offline Plugin, Online AI, System Voice, and Disabled states, and routed the system settings shortcut directly to Android's **Manage On-Screen Keyboards** page instead of the digital assistant picker. - **Plugin Compatibility & Defensive Fallbacks**: Added backward-compatible checks for legacy translation plugin APKs lacking v2 interfaces and handled uninstalled voice plugins gracefully without requiring package installation permissions on F-Droid builds. - **UI Polish**: Added rounded corners and ripple touch feedback to toolbar screenshot suggestions, and styled the floating gesture word preview with anti-aliased capsule pill rendering. - **Stability & Crash Fixes**: Resolved a `MissingFormatArgumentException` crash in `MissingDictionaryDialog` on non-English system locales, converted arrow drawables to vector format, eliminated `requestLayout` during layout passes, and muted debug logcat spam. - **Hardware Keyboard Emoji Navigation**: Added full D-Pad navigation, key event pairing, and selection support inside the emoji picker when using a physical keyboard. ## 📦 Choose Your Flavor | Flavor | Size | Primary Focus | AI Engine | Plugins Setup | Internet | Self-Updater | |:---|:---:|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---| | **`1-LeanType_4.2.4-standardfull-release.apk`** | 10.5 MB | **Convenience (Recommended)** | Cloud AI | In-app download or File import | Optional (AI/Updates/plugins) | ✅ In-App Auto Update | | **`1-LeanType_4.2.4-standard-release.apk`** | 10.5 MB | **F-Droid** | Cloud AI | In-app download or File import | Optional (AI/plugins) | ❌ None | | **`2-LeanType_4.2.4-offline-release.apk`** | 10.0 MB | **Offline** | Local LLM Plugin (8.0+) | Browser download + File import | 🚫 Zero Internet (No Permission) | ❌ None | > 💡 **Plugin Compatibility**: All flavors support **Offline Voice Dictation** (Android 8.1+), **Offline Translation** (Android 6.0+), **Offline Handwriting Recognition** (Android 6.0+), **Offline OCR Text Extraction** (Android 5.0+), and **Offline AI Proofreading** (Android 8.0+, 64-bit) via modular plugins, and work 100% offline. - Sep 15, 2026 4.2.3### 💖 Support Our Work As an open-source, community-funded project, we operate on a very limited budget.
