"**Archipelago is now open source.** The full source code of the node you are running — the orchestrator, the dashboard, the app platform, the mesh, the release tooling — is published for anyone to read, build and audit at source.archipelago-foundation.org/lfg2025/archy. A node that holds your money, your files and your communications should not ask to be taken on faith: from this release onward you, or anyone you trust, can see exactly what it does and follow every change we make in the open.",
|

"**Installing an update is reliable again, and tells you what happened when it isn't.** Some nodes could download an update but never apply it — the button stayed on \"Install\", and no amount of retrying worked. The cause: applying the update consumed the downloaded files as it went, so if any one step hit a snag partway through, the leftover files were incomplete and every later attempt failed the safety re-check forever, needing a technician to recover. Applying no longer consumes the download — a failed apply can always be retried from the same files — and the pieces are now applied in a fixed order with the program itself last, so a hiccup can't leave a half-swapped node. When an apply does fail, the screen now shows the real reason and what to do (\"download the update again\"), and offers Download again instead of a dead \"Install\" button, rather than a generic \"it failed\".",

"**Video on the kiosk stops tearing.** The kiosk's display had no vertical sync at all, so fast motion — IndeedHub films especially — showed horizontal tearing lines. The display driver now syncs every frame to the panel (no extra hardware needed, existing kiosks pick it up with this update), and on machines with a GPU, video decoding moves off the CPU onto the video hardware — smoother playback that also leaves more headroom for audio, not less.",
|
|
"**The Back button finally does what you expect.** Pressing Back — the mouse's side button on a kiosk, a swipe on a phone, the toolbar button in any browser — used to navigate the screen underneath an open window, or leave the dashboard entirely. Back now closes the topmost open window first, one per press, exactly like a native app; closing a window yourself never leaves a phantom entry that makes you press Back twice.",
|
|
"**No more bare IP addresses in your update or app-registry settings.** The update mirrors and the app registry each listed the same server twice — once by its proper name, once as a raw `http://146…` address left over from before the domain existed. The raw-address entries are retired: new nodes never see them, and existing nodes clean them out of their saved lists automatically on the next read. Everything now goes through the named, TLS-protected origin — which was always the same machine.",
|
|
"**The phone companion app downloads over the proper domain.** The download QR pointed at a raw address over plain HTTP; it now points at the same file on the https domain. Scanning it gets you an encrypted download from a named server.",
|
|
"**The Receive window now tells you when the money is on its way.** Previously it showed a QR code and left you to check elsewhere whether anything happened. Now, the moment the sender's transaction is broadcast, the QR gives way to a clock: the amount, the transaction ID (tap to copy), and a note that the funds arrive on their own — with a single Done button. If you keep the window open, the clock becomes a green check at the first confirmation. Verified live on a real node: payment detected within seconds of broadcast."
