- Fixed VPN reconnection through iOS Settings and Shortcuts after disconnecting in the app. - Fixed connection failures caused by VPN configurations retained from older versions. - Improved connection reliability when switching networks. - Fixed app startup failures when VPN status could not be retrieved. The app now remains accessible so you can disconnect. - Prevented unnecessary VPN reconnects caused by slow status responses. - Fixed incorrect “Core Error” alerts when canceling a connection. - Corrupted subscription caches now trigger a fresh download instead of blocking startup.

- Fixed VPN startup crashes and connection failures on iOS 16. - Fixed an issue that prevented connecting from Control Center. - Fixed background connections after upgrading from older versions. Widgets and automatic connections no longer require opening the app first. - Improved connection status accuracy and cancellation while connecting. - Improved error messages and removed unnecessary timeout waits when a connection attempt has already failed.

- Improved VPN connection and disconnection reliability, status accuracy, and handling of network changes. - Optimized startup, plugin processing, and subscription refresh to reduce connection delays. - Added MIPS as an alternative VPN network stack. - Improved node latency testing, reducing delays caused by slow or unresponsive nodes. - Enhanced automatic recovery from damaged resources, including Geo data. - Improved compatibility with newer iOS versions.

- Improved VPN startup, reconnection, and recovery after system interruptions. - Prevented unchanged background subscription refreshes from interrupting active VPN sessions. - Improved the reliability of server latency tests, health checks, and automatic server selection. - Improved sign-in reliability with more resilient service routing and dedicated in-app login addresses.

- Improved VPN stability during long-running sessions and high-traffic usage. - Improved VPN recovery when iOS reconnects the tunnel in the background. - Reduced cases where the VPN could get stuck during restart, cleanup, or memory pressure. - Improved handling of invalid proxy configurations, so startup failures are reported more cleanly instead of causing unstable connection behavior.

- Improved VPN connection stability on iOS, especially during longer sessions. - Reduced unexpected disconnections under heavy usage. - Improved reliability when starting or restarting the VPN. - Fixed an issue that could prevent the VPN from starting correctly after updating the app. - Improved connection failure handling so the app no longer reports a successful connection when the VPN did not start correctly. - Improved support diagnostics for iOS connection issues.

- Added an iOS 18 Control Center tile for quickly turning the VPN on or off. - Improved login reliability so expired or older login callbacks no longer overwrite the current session. - Fixed cases where the app could still open an external browser after leaving the login page. - Improved VPN request timeout handling inside the iOS tunnel. - Improved Geo database recovery before core startup, reducing startup/config failures caused by damaged local assets. - Fixed dashboard node display in Global mode when the visible node list is empty. - Improved connection history so rejected or failed requests can still appear with their routing decision. - Improved custom rule plugin validation, auto-save behavior, and narrow-screen layout.

- Added custom proxy rules for more flexible routing control. - Added NTP calibration for the basic routing plugin. - Added optional PacketTunnel system proxy support on iOS. - Fixed clipped text input fields in iOS plugin configuration dialogs. - Fixed startup interruptions caused by page lifecycle changes. - Fixed missing startup error details when core or Geo data initialization fails.

Fix 0.16.1 can not start VPN properly at old iOS version device

- Improved iOS VPN reliability with On Demand keep-alive support, helping the VPN recover when the PacketTunnel extension is restarted by the system. - Improved handling of app updates while the VPN is active, reducing the chance of stale VPN network settings affecting device connectivity. - Refined the PacketTunnel startup flow for more stable VPN start and reconnect behavior. - Fixed an iOS 13 WebView compatibility issue that could affect login. - Fixed cases where persisted app configuration could be overwritten during early startup.. - Improved latency testing when the selected route is DIRECT.

- Improved core recovery error handling: setup/config IPC failures now report a clear “core did not respond” error instead of being treated as empty success. - Added real-time upload/download speed display in the Connections page, with sorting support by start time, total traffic, and live speed. - Improved login WebView failure handling so embedded browser initialization failures can show the designed error page and browser fallback instead of only a toast. - Fixed and clarified several TUN/runtime proxy decision paths shared by core configuration, preventing stale runtime decisions from affecting the active proxy mode.

- Improved VPN startup and recovery reliability when the core service becomes temporarily unavailable. - Improved diagnostics for VPN connection failures, making support logs more useful when troubleshooting connection issues. - Refined proxy latency testing so individual node tests no longer interrupt pending tests unnecessarily. - Improved latency test queue behavior for more predictable results when testing multiple nodes. - Fixed cases where navigation/settings state could be lost after switching pages. - General stability improvements and minor bug fixes.

- Improved VPN startup stability on iOS. - Fixed a race condition where configuration updates could be sent while PacketTunnel was still starting. - Added safer retry handling when PacketTunnel is not ready to receive configuration messages. - Improved diagnostics for PacketTunnel IPC failures, including timeout and unavailable-session details. - Reduced false crash reports caused by temporary PacketTunnel startup states. - Improved post-start configuration flow to avoid applying VPN configuration before the native VPN session is fully running. - Improved login callback handling and loading state feedback when the app is opened from an external browser. - Improved asset update handling to avoid unnecessary cache writes when the bundled manifest is already up to date.

- Improved startup speed by loading cached configuration and remote settings earlier, while refreshing network data in the background. - Improved VPN reliability when switching nodes or updating configuration while the iOS Packet Tunnel is disconnected or stopping. - Reduced false core error reports caused by expected disconnected Packet Tunnel states. - Added an immediate error screen for core crashes, so issues can be reported without waiting for the next app launch. - Improved login and token failure diagnostics to make troubleshooting easier. - Updated core components and improved overall stability

Enabled low-memory mode for the iOS core to reduce memory pressure and improve stability Adjusted the iOS Packet Tunnel MTU to 4064 for more reliable tunnel behavior and network compatibility

Improved VPN state synchronization on iOS to reduce errors caused by stale tunnel status during connect, disconnect, and transition states Improved text input performance and reduced extra CPU usage when the keyboard is shown Added a clearer network connection failure notice on the login screen, so network issues are less likely to be mistaken for an invalid site code Added app version information to crash screen and related dialogs to make issue reporting and troubleshooting easier

Improved the connection list interaction to reduce accidental disconnections. Fixed proxy port synchronization while the service is running for more reliable config switching.

Fixes: - Fixed VPN core reload behavior after changing the log level. - Fixed system DNS detection and usage on supported platforms. - Fixed DNS refresh when the device network environment changes. - Fixed behavior when only IPv6 DNS servers are available while IPv6 is disabled. - Fixed a Proxy Card UI parsing issue that could cause an overflow. Updates: - Updated the VPN core. - Optimized DNS configuration handling. - Reduce core memory usage
