# Changelog — Vulpes OS
|
||
|
||
[Français](CHANGELOG.md)
|
||
|
||
Desktop, Android (APK) and Tundra/Sargo. Status indicates development sources, a built APK or a published release. Source changes require an update to the installed package.
|
||
|
||
<a id="2.7-preview.20"></a>
|
||
|
||
## 2.7-preview.20 — APK built · 13 October 2026
|
||
|
||
-  Preview 20 brings together shared fixes since APK Preview 17: Gaia settings, appearance, selectors, keyboard, contacts, Marketplace and media.
|
||
-  Camera: WebM recording with posters and Gallery/Video playback. Microphone permission requested; controls follow hardware capabilities.
|
||
-  Camera: more reliable sensor switching, stopping and resuming. Desktop and Android use their camera APIs; Sargo retains its HAL adapter.
|
||
-  Sargo: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, calls, SMS/MMS and network settings updates included in the sources. Unimplemented functions remain identified in their panels.
|
||
-  Changelog: simplified French/English text and badges retained; desktop/APK/Sargo filters independent of headings. Markdown, website and release notes generated from one JSON.
|
||
-  APK signed with the previous Preview key; alignment and consistency of 53 shared files verified. Android runtime validation in progress.
|
||
-  Desktop/Sargo Gecko 156.0.1; Android GeckoView 156.0. Gaia 2.7.0. The APK delegates calls/SMS to Android; it does not replace Android telephony.
|
||
-  Experimental Preview: Mozilla account/Sync, remote location, Firefox OS add-ons and USB file transfer remain incomplete. Sargo: preview around 16 fps; recorded sound and call audio require separate qualification.
|
||
-  Pixel 3a: Preview 20 r62 RAM-booted, then flashed to boot_a. Matching readback hash; installed startup, eleven Gaia checks and ten native checks passed. Data retained, Wi-Fi connected and LTE registration observed. No new two-way audio call tested.
