I. Gallery Feature Enhancements

• Supports Previous/Next page browsing between images in the same directory via mouse drag, improving browsing efficiency.

3. Video Auto-play Optimization

The video preview page supports auto-play, allowing users to watch directly upon opening, reducing extra clicks.

4. Gallery and Wallpaper Apps Default to Widescreen Display

A minimum width limit is uniformly set for gallery and wallpaper related interfaces, with widescreen display as the default.

5. Cropping and Stability Fixes

• Fixed an issue where, after maximizing the crop box in a standard free window and then maximizing the preview window, the crop box did not scale accordingly and the cropping area was limited.

• Fixed an application crash caused by performing a crop operation after maximizing the preview window.

• Fixed an issue where Meitu Xiuxiu could not access/open the camera.

II. Application and Interaction Experience Improvements

1. NV12 Video Format Support in the MESA Graphics Stack

To address the lack of NV12 video format support in the native MESA (GBM) graphics stack, this release adopts a new approach: video data is first written in RGB565 format; before composition, an additional RGBA buffer is allocated, and the CPU performs the NV12-to-RGBA conversion. The entire pipeline no longer relies on NV12 buffers. With this approach, Douyin video playback on AMD GPUs has been significantly optimized, resolving an issue that could previously cause the system to freeze during playback.

Status note: In a very small number of videos, a green-lined garbled screen may still occur, but it will no longer freeze the system. Subsequent versions will continue to optimize for the remaining garbled screen issues.

2. Full-screen Experience Fixes

• FDE-X11: Fixed an issue where the “Exit Full Screen” button did not appear after entering full-screen mode.

• Ubuntu: Fixed an issue where apps could not truly go full screen, now properly hiding redundant borders or system elements.

3. WPS PDF Zoom Shortcut Restoration

Fixed an issue where Ctrl + mouse wheel could not be used for zooming in WPS PDF, restoring common desktop operation habits.

4. Other Interaction Optimizations

• Fixed garbled screen issues on the App Store homepage and video garbled screens in Via Browser.

• Optimized camera lifecycle, supporting dynamic hot-plugging.

• Optimized title bar operation performance, approaching the level from the early Android 14 adaptation phase.

• Optimized desktop icon drag-and-drop effect (Windows-like), displaying only the first desktop.

• Forcibly disabled split-screen mode detection, fixing issues such as Bilibili unable to switch between full-screen/portrait modes and Baobao Bus videos failing to play.

• Fixed a probabilistic issue where the screen recording dialog could not be launched after boot.

• Fixed a probabilistic issue in OpenFDE14 where the mouse pointer shape was not correctly updated (e.g., a bidirectional arrow displayed outside of the scaling area).

• Fixed an issue where a title was incorrectly displayed when installing or uninstalling apps.

• Fixed an issue where a shadow window still appeared beneath the confirmation dialog after app installation completed.

• Fixed an issue where the F11 key did not work.

III. Platform Adaptation and System Stability Optimization

1. D3000m Platform Stability Fixes

• Hibernation: Fixed issues where the system could freeze or fail to resume after prolonged hibernation; it can now wake up normally.

• Login-mode display scaling: Fixed abnormal DPI and resolution rendering of UI elements in login mode, preventing the display from appearing excessively large or small.

2. System Stability Enhancements

• Optimized the display strategy when there are too many notifications, preventing the last one from being cut off.

• Fixed abnormal title bar behavior on the wallpaper subpage after disabling full-screen in Settings.

• Fixed a binder proxy count overflow issue.

IV. File Management and Right-Click Menu Enhancements

1. File Manager Function Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the Download directory could not be searched.

• Fixed an issue where personal directory integration occasionally failed to take effect, ensuring consistent file views between Android and Linux.

2. Right-Click Menu: Add Compress/Decompress

• "Compress": Supports archiving selected files or folders.

• "Decompress": Supports quickly extracting files from compressed archives.

3. File Ownership Anomaly Fixes (Kylin 2403 softmode)

• Fixed an issue where file ownership changed to root when screenshots or Android apps wrote to personal directories.

• After the fix, newly written files are created under the current user, avoiding issues such as being unable to edit or delete due to permission anomalies.

4. Other File-Related Optimizations

• Fixed Via Browser attach/attachment issues (search/select all caused the file system to become unresponsive, frequent DocumentUI stops during upload).

• Fixed incorrect display of left-side labels in the file app when the default language is English.

• Fixed abnormal selection box interface when opening files in full-screen/maximized state.

V. System Settings and UI Behavior Optimization

• Fixed an issue where the search function in the Settings app could not be clicked.

• Hidden the dark mode toggle entry: the dark mode entry in both the Launcher and the Settings app has been hidden.

• Supports switching input methods with Ctrl+Space inside input fields.

• Optimized single-app screen recording: After recording starts, window resizing is disabled to improve recording clarity.
