  • Latest version

    Version 1.3.17

    Released Oct 13, 2026 - 356.61 KB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later
    • Enlarge the Browser gate mark for toolbar slots, with dedicated 16, 32 and
      48-pixel artwork for standard and Retina displays.
    • Show popup connection progress immediately. Serve NIP-07 after the signer
      handshake while optional relay and Heartwood capability checks continue.
    • Inject NIP-07 at document start on v4v.com and www.v4v.com. Opening Bark
      restores the bridge on an already-open supported tab after an update,
      preserving the page's signer object and suppressing orphaned refresh errors.
    • Reuse live page bridges to prevent duplicate signing requests, and keep
      delayed capability results from overwriting newer signing evidence or UI.

    Version 1.3.16

    Released Oct 10, 2026 - 354.34 KB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later
    • Replace the signal-wave icon with Browser gate: an ivory browser frame and
      mint keyhole on a forest-green tile, with the ecosystem's fine gold ring.
    • Use the same editable SVG for the website and ecosystem map. Generate
      extension and store PNGs from it, with a simplified 16-pixel toolbar icon.
    • Show the logo in the setup, connected and approval surfaces. Refresh the
      store screenshots, promotional tiles and website approval image.
    • Document the brand palette and asset regeneration commands.
    • Update store screenshot automation for the current accessible policy buttons
      and wait for the expanded site's panel rather than a hidden sibling.

  • Version 1.3.15

    Released Oct 9, 2026 - 347.01 KB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later
    • Clearer approval review: signing identity with an expandable full public key,
      literal note/article/reaction content, complete event/tag review, and warnings
      for unrecognised event kinds. Decryption explains who receives the plaintext;
      site trust explains the permissions granted.
    • Accessibility settings offer one, five or ten minutes for future approvals.
      Remaining time is shown, with an announcement in the last thirty seconds.
    • Automated accessibility regressions for keyboard controls, contrast, labels,
      focus restoration, small-window approval, text spacing and doubled text.
      Remaining screen-reader and browser/device acceptance checks are documented.
    • Signer/persona selection, policy actions and disclosures now use native
      keyboard controls with accessible names and visible focus. Policy edits and
      QR generation preserve keyboard focus; approval starts with visible focus
      even in a short window. Enter on the request heading and Escape deny safely.
    • Improve popup contrast, field labels, relay/identity state text and
      error/status announcements. Errors remain available for review, connecting
      text no longer pulses, and translated pages declare their catalogue language.
    • Keep approval open for retry when decision delivery fails.
    • Scale queued requests and the page-side wait with the configured review time.
      Admit subsequent requests to the worker queue while the first awaits approval.
      Reject expired decisions and queued requests even when timers resume late,
      without signing or saving site trust.

  • Version 1.3.14

    Released Oct 7, 2026 - 334.6 KB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later
    • Serialise concurrent signer handshakes and reject superseded connections.
    • Preserve live connections while a hardware request awaits approval.
    • Keep late connect replies eligible, stop retrying signer refusals, and show
      the connection error in the popup instead of only a reconnect countdown.
    • Close owned relay sockets and outstanding requests when a connection is
      reset or replaced. Remove completed RPC bookkeeping and guard replacement
      connections against stale request timeouts and signing-health updates.
    • Bound approval metadata and popup worker waits. Reject page requests when
      an extension reload invalidates their bridge, alongside the refresh banner.
    • Add loopback resource-lifecycle and packaged-browser reconnect regressions.

  • Version 1.3.13

    Released Sep 17, 2026 - 327.12 KB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later
    • A Heartwood that does not answer the connect-time capability probe within
      five seconds is no longer written off as "not a Heartwood". New signer
      firmware (v0.18.0-beta.9) asks the owner to approve identity listing once, on
      the device, and that press can take longer than the probe waits. Bark now
      keeps listening in the background for up to 45 seconds, shows "Approve on
      your Heartwood to show personas" where the persona section goes, and enables
      Heartwood mode as soon as the answer arrives. A probe that finally times out
      is no longer remembered as a negative verdict, so the next popup or
      reconnect tries again. An explicit refusal still falls back immediately, as
      before.

  • Version 1.3.11

    Released Sep 9, 2026 - 326.71 KB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later
    • Heartwood instances hand off to Sapwood when the signer stops answering. A
      failed sign test, or a connection that stays lost, now shows "Unlock in
      Sapwood": Bark only speaks NIP-46 and a locked signer never answers it, so
      the unlock has to happen in Sapwood (USB or relay delivery) before Bark can
      sign again.

  • Version 1.3.10

    Released Sep 9, 2026 - 326.16 KB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later
    • The popup no longer calls window.confirm() when removing a signer or
      resetting policies. Chromium shows those dialogs app-modal, so a popup that
      closed while one was up (any focus loss closes a toolbar popup on macOS)
      left an orphaned modal that froze every extension's toolbar popup until it
      was found and dismissed. Both confirmations now use an inline <dialog>
      that lives and dies with the popup.

  • Version 1.3.9

    Released Aug 13, 2026 - 325.65 KB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later
    • Firefox for Android support. The Firefox build now declares
      browser_specific_settings.gecko_android (minimum 142, two releases above the
      desktop floor because data_collection_permissions reached Android later), so
      the AMO listing installs on Android instead of being treated as desktop-only.
      This is the only mobile route for Bark: Chromium on Android compiles out the
      extensions subsystem, so Vanadium on GrapheneOS and every other
      Chromium-derived Android browser cannot run it. See docs/mobile.md
      for the Cambium and direct-NIP-46 alternatives.
    • Approvals no longer fail outright on mobile. Firefox for Android implements no
      windows API at all, so every ask-policy request would have been denied with
      "Could not open approval window". The approval surface now falls back to a
      foreground tab: dismissing it denies, "Review in Bark" foregrounds it, and the
      background closes it once the request settles. Desktop keeps the popup window.
    • The popup and approval pages lay out against the device width rather than the
      980px default mobile viewport. No change to desktop rendering.

    Verified on a Pixel 10 Pro XL running GrapheneOS with Firefox for Android
    153.0.4: provider injection, the approval tab (allow once, trust site, deny,
    dismiss-to-deny, queued approvals), and signing after the event page suspends.

  • Version 1.3.7

    Released Aug 9, 2026 - 324.99 KB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later
    • The nostrconnect pairing QR now carries a requested-permission bundle:
      read pubkey, NIP-04/NIP-44 encryption, and the common event kinds —
      including the V4V gated kinds 27117 and 30808 — mirroring Sapwood's kind
      registry. The signer shows the whole surface at pairing and the human
      approves once, instead of discovering an unlisted kind mid-flow and adding
      a manual grant later. The popup explains the bundle before the QR is
      generated.

  • Version 1.3.4

    Released Jul 18, 2026 - 295.27 KB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later
    "The message port closed before a response was received" is now treated
    as a service-worker wake-up error and retried, matching the other
    wake-up wordings. Previously the first request after the worker idled
    out could fail with this error instead of retrying.
