Per-Device Theme Licensing WEBSITE
Purchased themes are now bound to your specific device using envelope encryption. Each download is keyed to your license and device ID — the file is useless if copied to another car. Free themes are unaffected.

Hardened Theme File Verification LAUNCHER v3.7.0
Corrupt or tampered .saint theme files are now rejected on the launcher (was a soft warning before). Protects designers from forged themes and buyers from broken installs.
trending_up
Encrypted Local Theme Cache LAUNCHER v3.7.0
The launcher now stores its decoded theme cache in an Android Keystore-backed encrypted file (AES-256-GCM). Even with direct device access, cached themes can no longer be extracted in plaintext.

Edit Mode Improvements LAUNCHER v3.6.0
Edit mode on the car now only activates via long-press on app shortcuts — no more accidental triggers during page swipes. Tap any non-editable area to exit. All background services pause during edit mode for smooth wiggle animation.

Faster Builder Loading BUILDER v6.2.0-beta
Builder JavaScript files are now versioned and cached by your browser. After the first load, subsequent visits load significantly faster. Cache automatically busts on new deploys.

Copy and Paste Style Improvements BUILDER v6.1.0
Paste Style now only transfers visual properties. No longer overwrites widget-specific settings. New Paste to Global Style option in right-click menu.

Properties Panel Polish BUILDER v6.0.4-beta
