[Unreleased]

Documentation

Added the public research roadmap for Frida visibility, /proc/maps consistency, and higher-fidelity virtual-environment behavior.
Added a contribution model that asks users to donate a bounded week of their own Codex or Claude engineering time instead of money.

[4.0.0] - 2026-07-20

Added

Independent FridaBox application, Android namespace, brand, icon, responsive workspace, runtime dashboard, settings, and per-guest management.
Per-app On-device, Computer, and Clean launch modes.
Trusted JavaScript selection through SAF with private byte-identical storage, SHA-256 recording, size bounds, and read-only execution permissions.
Autonomous Gadget Script interaction requiring no ADB or computer after agent selection.
Loopback Gadget endpoint discovery and guest mapping through GuestRuntimeRegistry.
Guest ClassLoader bootstrap and native module enumeration.
ARM64 APK inspection and clear rejection of incompatible/split inputs.
Generated sample guest and deterministic Target.add(2, 3) -> 1337 hook.
Reproducible Frida 17 agent bundles with pinned npm dependencies.
Explicit production signing configuration, R8, and resource shrinking.
Android 16 device-validation transcript and engineering documentation.

Changed

Gadget now loads after virtual runtime/IO/ClassLoader setup and before guest makeApplication().
Launch-mode changes recycle the virtual process to prevent instrumentation state from leaking into Clean launches.
Runtime snapshots reload safely across host/guest process boundaries.
Private Gadget and agent permissions comply with modern Android executable file constraints.
Guest-visible inherited product strings were replaced with FridaBox identity.

Removed

The inherited launcher and unrelated GMS, Xposed, fake-location, floating overlay, cloning-list, and legacy settings surfaces.
Obsolete launcher resources, translations, UI AARs, and product documents.
Debug-key fallback for release artifacts.
