## Amber 6.6.9

- Fix nostrconnect:// connections approved from the multi-request screen never getting a reply, and reply on the relays from the nostrconnect:// URI
- Group the multi-request screen by app, showing each app's name, icon and request count, and keep "remember my choice" per app
- Fix revoked permissions that could keep working until the cache was cleared, and respect reject rules for fully trusted apps (GHSA-8f7m-9g64-vrjw)
- Clear a copied nsec, ncryptsec or seed words after 60 seconds even when Amber is in the background or was closed (GHSA-g62f-m6pm-jv9p)
- Fix possible loss of the nsec and seed words when changing the "require unlocked device" setting (GHSA-wv7c-hq2j-ppc5)

## Verifying the release

In order to verify the release, you'll need to have `gpg` or `gpg2` installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import the keys that have signed this release if you haven't done so already:

``` bash
gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D
```

Once you have his PGP key you can verify the release (assuming `manifest-v6.6.9.txt` and `manifest-v6.6.9.txt.sig` are in the current directory) with:

``` bash
gpg --verify manifest-v6.6.9.txt.sig manifest-v6.6.9.txt
```

You should see the following if the verification was successful:

``` bash
gpg: Signature made Fri 13 Sep 2024 08:06:52 AM -03
gpg: using RSA key 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D
gpg: Good signature from "greenart7c3 <greenart7c3@proton.me>"
```

That will verify the signature on the main manifest page which ensures integrity and authenticity of the binaries you've downloaded locally. Next, depending on your operating system you should then re-calculate the sha256 sum of the binary, and compare that with the following hashes:

``` bash
cat manifest-v6.6.9.txt
```

One can use the `shasum -a 256 <file name here>` tool in order to re-compute the `sha256` hash of the target binary for your operating system. The produced hash should be compared with the hashes listed above and they should match exactly.

2026-10-05T13:37:19Z

## Amber 6.6.7

- Fix relays staying disconnected until the app was force closed: relays marked dead after a stretch of bad connectivity now get another chance after a 15 minute cooldown, and failed connection attempts are no longer counted twice
- Reset relay connections when a VPN comes up or goes down, or when the device regains internet access, the same way switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data does; network changes now drop stale sockets and clear the reconnect backoff so relays come back immediately
- Detect web requests from browsers other than Chrome (such as DuckDuckGo), which previously failed with "Unknown signer type"
- Fix a crash when a permission was saved for an application that had just been deleted or reset

2026-09-28T11:26:45Z

# Changelog

## Amber 6.6.6

- Fix the nostrconnect parser corrupting connect-param values that contain `=` (such as base64-padded secrets): the connect response returned mangled values instead of the original secret, so NDK-based clients failed their secret check
- Fix white text and icons on light-amber surfaces in dark theme (Edit Relays floating action button, add-relay icon buttons, selected filter chips on the feedback screen)
- Fix the Tor/proxy status icon in the top app bar being nearly invisible in light theme — status icons now use theme-aware colors in both themes, and the relay reconnect icon matches the adjacent relay count
- Feedback issues are now published to the relays advertised on Amber's repository announcement instead of a hardcoded relay, falling back to the previous behavior when the announcement can't be fetched; longer timeouts on Tor so slow relays still confirm the publish

## Amber 6.6.5

- Harden application backups: backup events published to relays are now encrypted with a dedicated key derived from your account key (via HKDF, outside the NIP-44 derive-key namespace) instead of your main identity key, so apps holding a remembered `nip44_decrypt` permission can no longer fetch the kind 30078 backup and read its payload, including per-app NIP-46 secrets and local keys; existing identity-encrypted backups still restore through a fallback until the next publish overwrites them
- Fix the backup restore prompt never appearing after logging out and back in when backup publishing is disabled — the exact case restore exists for

## Amber 6.6.1

- Fix parsing of incoming permission lists when a permission has no `kind` field in its JSON, so the whole list no longer fails to load
- Fix rejected signer requests not returning the request id in the result, leaving calling apps unable to match the rejection to their request
- Update the default signer relays to `auth.nostr1.com`, `bucket.coracle.social`, `nrs.primal.net` and `relay.nip46.com`, and add `indexer.coracle.social` to the default indexer relays (#518)

## Amber 6.6.0 - New: pre-approve individual permissions when ...

2026-08-31T11:26:05Z

## Amber 6.6.0

- New: pre-approve individual permissions when connecting an app under the "Manually approve each permission" policy — an "Add permission" button lets you pick from the full permission catalog (searchable, including custom sign-event kinds) so those requests are approved automatically while everything else still asks
- New: when a NIP-46 connect request arrives while the kill switch is enabled, Amber now asks whether to disable it so the request can be answered, and the kill switch gained a toggle in the Settings network section
- Toggling the "Enable biometrics" setting now requires biometric authentication first, so the setting cannot be deactivated without authorization and broken sensors are caught before activation
- Toggling "require unlocked device" now shows a progress indicator with a do-not-close warning while every stored secret is re-encrypted, instead of silently freezing
- Fix the account picker not scrolling and its title not being visible
- Fix a crash in profile feed subscriptions when an account is removed while its events are being processed
- Trim the image and trust-score caches when the system reports memory pressure, so the 32 MB bitmap cache no longer stays fully resident while the app is in the background
- Performance: cache decrypted application lists so periodic relay refreshes stop re-decrypting every application row through the Keystore (the dominant native memory user on populated accounts), and warm up timezone data off the main thread to remove a ~170 ms disk read during the Applications screen's first composition
- Update Kotlin to 2.4.10, Gradle to 9.7.1, Quartz to 1.14.0 and the rest of the dependency stack

## Amber 6.5.2

- Fix the Applications screen taking several seconds to load on populated accounts: the list no longer decrypts the encrypted `secret`/`localKey` columns it doesn't render, and the Keystore key handle is cached instead of re-fetched for every decryption
- Warm the account cache at app start so the switch-accounts button lists all accounts again instead of only the current one
- Fix a crash when scrolling the activity history screens caused by the same row appearing in two loaded pages at once
- Debounce relay status-counter notification updates so the status notification no longer freezes on stale text during bursts of relay traffic

## Verifying the release

In order to verify the release, you'll need to have `gpg` or `gpg2` installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import the keys that have signed this release if you haven't done so already:

``` bash
gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D
```

Once you have his PGP key you can verify the release (assuming `manifest-v6.5.0.txt` and `manifest-v6.5.0.txt.sig` are in the current directory) with:

``` bash
gpg --verify manifest-v6.5.0.txt.sig manifest-v6.5.0.txt
```

You should see the following if the verification was successful:

``` bash
gpg: Signature made Fri 13 Sep 2024 08:06:52 AM -03
gpg: using RSA key 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D
gpg: Good signature from "greenart7c3 <greenart7c3@proton.me>"
```

That will verify the signature on the main manifest page which ensures integrity and authenticity of the binaries you've downloaded locally. Next, depending on your operating system you should then re-calculate the sha256 sum of the binary, and compare that with the following hashes:

``` bash
cat manifest-v6.5.0.txt
```

One can use the `shasum -a 256 <file name here>` tool in order to re-compute the `sha256` hash of the target binary for your operating system. The produced hash should be compared with the hashes listed above and they should match exactly.
