November 2025: Ledger-secure-sdk delivered notable advancements in text rendering, typography, and storage efficiency. Implemented comprehensive font rendering enhancements (Thai font support, Unicode handling, and text layout improvements) and introduced a refactor that centralizes rendering logic in nbgl_draw_text. Added RLE-based text rendering and character data compression to reduce asset footprint and boost rendering performance. Expanded testing coverage with unit tests for nbgl_draw_text and new RLE workflows. Adjusted layout and metrics for modern devices (LNX/LNS+) and improved correctness (no longer requiring Y coords modulo 4). These changes improve on-device readability, internationalization readiness, and overall performance, contributing to a better user experience and lower maintenance costs.

Month: 2025-09 — LedgerHQ/ledger-secure-sdk focused on UI stability improvements for screenshot rendering and header layout to improve reliability and reduce post-release issues. Delivered two major updates: (1) Screenshot Rendering Improvements: boundary clipping enforcement, sizing via global screen dimensions, and overlap detection to prevent occlusion and artifacts. (2) Header Title Layout Stabilization: detection of excessive lines, dynamic height adjustment to fit maximum lines, and warning logs when limits are exceeded. These changes were implemented via incremental commits and improved rendering reliability across devices and configurations.

August 2025 – LedgerHQ/ledger-secure-sdk: Focused BLE advertising fix to properly handle device names up to 20 characters. Longer names remain discoverable and BLE connections are more reliable, reducing user friction during pairing across diverse environments. Commit 1ee0551dac9f971e383167f10e32f0ef96b4dd43 documents the change (FWEO-1477).
