1.0.6

Since 1.0.5, Divine has become a much stronger playground for human creativity and connection.

We’ve made the app faster, steadier, and more expressive across the board. Feed loading is dramatically quicker. Playback is smoother. Search is sharper. Profiles, comments, badges, sharing, and notifications all got real attention. The camera, editor, and library also took a big step forward, with better audio tools, stronger draft handling, cleaner clip workflows, and fewer weird edge-case failures.

What’s new since 1.0.5:

• A faster, more stable feed: quicker home load, fewer black flashes and freezes, fewer phantom pauses, better subtitle support, cleaner overlays, safer pooled playback, and fixes for tricky Divine-hosted video URLs.
• Better discovery: a rebuilt home experience, a persistent For You mode, curated lists in feed logic, a new Categories tab in Explore, faster search behavior, and better hashtag reliability.
• Stronger identity and sign-in flows: multi-account support, better deep-link and email verification handling, session recovery improvements, external NIP-05 support, NIP-49 account import, and fixes so verified identity is shown more honestly.
• More capable creation tools: upgraded camera and video editor flows, custom audio rendering, audio editor support, countdown sound, auto lens switching, stronger clip deletion and drag interactions, better waveform feedback, improved gallery saving, and a redesigned drafts/clips library backed by more durable local storage.
• Better community features: real-time comments, profile comments tab, cross-device sync for likes and reposts, block-user support, clearer content warnings, stronger moderation lookups, and improved Human Made / AI badge handling.
• Better sharing and social actions: a cleaner unified share flow, restored download actions, better user search in sharing, smarter follow handling, and notification badge fixes.
• Platform and release improvements: macOS support, experimental Linux support, better Zapstore and release automation, improved Crashlytics symbol uploads, iOS crash fixes, Android background-work fixes, and build stability work.

The bigger theme is simple: more agency, less friction, and more room to play.

Divine is being shaped into a place for real people, real weirdness, and real creative ownership. No slop. No doom-scroll tax. Just a better space to make, share, and connect.

What's New in 1.0.5 (Build 496 — Feb 23, 2026)

Video Playback Fixes

• Phantom pause eliminated: Videos no longer freeze/stutter when swiping between them. Preloaded videos stay buffered (muted) instead of being paused, avoiding expensive rebuffer stalls on mobile hardware decoders (#1723)
• No more dual audio: Fixed bug where previous video's audio kept playing after swiping to next video (#1641)
• Black flash removed: Eliminated black flash between thumbnail placeholder and first video frame (#1642)
• Disposed player crash fixed: Prevented crash when Video widget accesses a player that was already disposed (#1643)
• Pooled player for Home tab: Home feed now uses shared pooled_video_player for consistent playback across all feeds (#1668)
• Audio bleed fix: No more hearing audio from videos that shouldn't be playing (#1683)
• Correct video orientation: Fixed fullscreen feed orientation handling (#1710)

View Event Tracking (Kind 22236)

• Android NIP-46 reconnection: Reconnects relay WebSocket connections on app resume and divine:// callback after signer approval (#1713)
