Jun 1, 2025June 2025 (bmax121/APatch) focused on stabilizing ZIP archive handling and simplifying extraction logic to improve reliability and reduce edge cases. Delivered a critical ZIP extraction stability fix by downgrading the zip library from 4.0.0 to 3.0.0 (issue #1089) and consolidating extraction to use archive.extract(), removing the should_enable_overlay() check and manual module.prop extraction. This change reduces failure modes in ZIP processing across environments, enabling more predictable builds and deployments. Result: fewer incidents in packaging, smoother automation, and easier future maintenance.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly performance summary for bmax121/APatch focused on kernel patch management and module update reliability. Implemented build-time kernel patch update detection by introducing a native function to retrieve patch build time and updating application version checks, replacing version-number based logic to improve accuracy and reduce false positives. Streamlined the module update flow: only perform file operations when an update flag exists, removed temporary files, and conditionally create/format the ext4 image; refactored module management functions and added support for mounting the OEM partition to enable OEM-specific deployments. Resolved a patch directory access bug related to resymlink by renaming the patch directory from 'patch' to 'check' and removing two executables ('libkpatch.so' and 'libbootctl.so') from the required list to prevent access errors.
