`v0.5.1` is a release of fixes. Since `v0.5.0`, two reviews of the whole app looked for every way Orbit could lose what you typed, show something of a private map, send more than you chose, or say it had done something it hadn't, and this release fixes what they found: saving, syncing, sharing, media, presenting and private maps are all sturdier, and there's nothing new to learn. It installs over `v0.5.0` and keeps your maps, and it needs Android 10 or later. Orbit is still free, with no account, no ads and no tracking. Here's what's fixed.

### 📰 Release Change Log

#### 🐛 Bug Fixes

These are the fixes you're most likely to notice, out of many smaller ones:

- **What you type stays:** when a version of the map comes in from another device or the synced folder while you're typing an idea on the map, what you typed is saved first, or kept in the map's history, and never erased. The same goes for a map deleted while you type, and Undo, Redo and Edit as text wait for what you were typing to be saved.
- **Study and reminders:** a study answer that couldn't be saved is kept and tried again, instead of counted and lost, and it never goes over a newer one from another device. After a change of time zone, each reminder still comes once: none is skipped, and none comes twice.
- **Private maps stay private:** a private map deleted in the synced folder never comes back as an ordinary one, and the folder's notes don't keep its name. A reminder already showing turns into "A reminder from a private map" the moment its map is made private. The widget picker's preview and Home's search never show a locked map, and pictures pasted as a map locks stay out of ordinary maps.
- **Deleting a map says what it did:** Orbit says a map is deleted only once it is, its history and private details too, and Home says so when deleting a map, or undoing it, fails. A map deleted on another device isn't brought back when deleting it here fails.
- **What leaves your phone is what you chose:** sharing a file "as it is" applies only to the very file you said yes to, not to one put in its place or changed since. Sharing with browsers and computers never reaches past the map's own files, and pictures, videos and sounds leave cleaned of more: a HEIF or AVIF picture's item names, which can hold a place's name, and what cut-short videos and WAV sounds still carried.
- **Backups and imports:** Export all maps fails rather than leave out a map's pictures, and keeps each map's privacy. Imports say exactly what they brought in, and Settings' **Import maps** converts OPML, FreeMind and XMind files too.
- **What's sent to Orbit arrives:** a map from another device that you answer **Update** or **Keep both** to, a map opened in Orbit or a file shared to it, and a Quick Capture draft all arrive, even if Android closes Orbit or rebuilds its screen midway.
- **Pictures, sketches and sounds:** **Load it again**, or a map's page that stops, never throws away a sketch you haven't saved. A picture or file that takes a while to copy lands on the idea you chose, or says it couldn't, and two added at the same moment never overwrite each other. A voice memo's take survives the recorder failing to pause or resume.
- **Sending and presenting:** sending to a device that stops answering gives up when it says it will, not hours later, tapping **Send** twice sends once, and other websites can't make a browser join your room or use up its tries at the code. As you present, your phone and every screen watching stay on the same version while you edit, a second screen that fails to load can be loaded again, and browsers watching can pinch to zoom.
- **Keyboards:** Enter and Space press the focused button in videos, sounds and presentations, instead of doing the view's own action, and controls that hide themselves don't take the focus with them.
- **Search** keeps your words, its results and your place in them when you turn the phone or tablet.
- **No more closing as maps lock:** with your maps kept in a folder, Orbit no longer closes when private maps lock while Settings is open, from **Lock them now** or as the screen goes off.
- **And more:** a tap on the + adds an idea even when a slow phone takes it for a long press, checking for updates by hand can't close Orbit, crash reports don't hide or overwrite each other, a map whose page hangs as it starts offers **Load it again** too, and a web page you exported keeps its pictures when you print it from Firefox.

#### 📦 Misc

- **Built on [Orbit v0.5.1](https://hyuchia.com/orbit-v0.5.1)**, the library that draws the maps, with its fixes.
- **The [privacy policy](https://orbit.hyuchia.com/privacy)** now says what Android hears when Orbit crashes or stops responding: what went wrong and where in Orbit's code, never what's in your maps. Your phone's settings decide whether it goes any further, not Orbit.

### How To Update

- **From the website or GitHub:** Orbit tells you about the new version within a day. Install it over `v0.5.0`; your maps stay. It needs Android 10 or later.
- **Google Play:** Orbit `v0.5.1` is [on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hyuchia.orbit), and Play keeps it up to date. F-Droid and AppGallery are coming soon.
- **Several devices:** `v0.5.1` keeps maps as `v0.5.0` does, so the two send maps to each other and share a folder as before.

To check the download, its SHA-256 is `0bc4fbe466d9eaf91e3ef020f10ef55062a8aab0bd0ec5fb1767ebe8aa41ae36`, and it's signed with the certificate `b4fd505f255c406cd205a6c403898e2069968339ad40269d5c22be79d561a107`. Both are on the [release on GitHub](https://github.com/restless-dreams/orbit-android/releases/tag/v0.5.1) too, with `orbit-0.5.1-fdroid.apk`, the same app without the update check.
