What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

- **added** — Add a themed launcher icon that supplies a monochrome layer for Android 13 and newer to take on the colours of themed-icon home screens
- **added** — Add a launch screen that follows your device's light or dark theme
- **fixed** — Prevent white screen flash when starting Knit on a dark-themed device by using the same light or dark background as the rest of the app for the launch screen

A themed launcher icon, and a launch screen that follows your device's light or dark theme.

Knit's icon now supplies a monochrome layer, so on Android 13 and newer it takes on the colours of your
themed-icon home screen instead of falling back to a generic shape.

Starting Knit on a dark-themed device no longer flashes a white screen before the app appears. The
launch screen now uses the same light or dark background as the rest of the app.

**`knit-2.2.3.apk`** — `sha256:62136d7e1decc6719101a3803d1194f7df6ac5b90c21f92f2297c4a9201d91ec`

Signed with Knit's distribution key (certificate `b18a283d11797c2a84a008c1fcb9e1b864e7b4c3b301408f7a4a80624b0e631c`), the key pinned in F-Droid's
`AllowedAPKSigningKeys`. CI verified this file is byte-identical, apart from the signature, to
an independent unsigned rebuild produced inside F-Droid's own buildserver image — so F-Droid's
rebuild-and-compare check resolves to exactly this APK.
