v3.6.5

This version addresses detection regressions from 3.6.4 as well as further performance improvement. Additional preparations were also made behind the scenes for rootless jailbreaks.

Other changes:

• Enable Rootless Mode is now called Rootless Optimization
• Enhanced Path Processing option has been removed
• Allow Tweak Resources option has been removed

v3.6.4

This release contains another fix for crashes and regressions in detection.

Note: it seems there are still some detection regressions - likely related to the performance improvements. If you are having detection issues since updating, please use 3.6.1 or the beta (this may be unstable) as this is being worked on.

v3.6.3

This release includes some minor adjustments to prevent some crashes from 3.6.2.

v3.6.2 release notes copied:

This release features a major general performance improvement, as well as some tweak compatibility improvements.

• Reimplemented some previously disabled hooks
• Adjusted some function calls to be safer
• Reverted injection changes from 3.6.0 for stability reasons
• Significant load time improvement for Shadow-enabled apps
• Further reorganization of codebase
• Updated Arabic translations
• Added Simplified Chinese translation

Due to tweak compatibility improvements, Allow Tweak Resources is now deprecated. Please let me know if this option is still necessary.

Special thank you to contributors and Ko-fi donors (much cups were had while developing the tweak). If you would like to translate Shadow, please refer to the English translation within the source code on GitHub.

v3.5.6

• Slightly adjusted some hooks for better reliability
• Added link in About page to releases page (for viewing changes)
• Updated ruleset to prevent apps from detecting if they were installed with TrollStore (note: this causes TrollStore to not detect installed apps, so ensure Shadow is not enabled there)

Debug build has been added to this release. It only enables logging to console.

v3.5.5

This update requires at least version 0.1.5 of HookKit Framework to fix certain issues with fishhook.

v3.5.4

• Added Chinese translation by @CySxL
• Slight adjustment to internal library linking for rootless jailbreaks
