Beside for Android v0.3.0 — Release Notes & Support Guide

Repository: https://github.com/thisma-labs/beside-android-support
Milestone Tag: android-v0.3.0
Release Date: 2026-11-12
Target Platform: Android 8.0 through Android 15 (arm64-v8a)


What's New in v0.3.0 (Android Mobile)

1. Up to 3.85x Faster Multi-File & Folder Transfers

  • Kernel-Level Atomic Finalization (renameat2): Incoming transfers now finalize directly inside Android's FUSE filesystem (/sdcard/Download/Beside) using RENAME_NOREPLACE in < 1 ms, bypassing secondary userland copies.
  • Physical Device Benchmark: 50-file folder transfer time dropped from 21.16s (v0.2.0) to 5.50s (74.0% latency reduction).

2. Instant Control Framing (TCP_NODELAY)

  • Eliminates 40–200 ms Nagle ACK delay stalls on Wi-Fi chipsets.
  • Outgoing Phone-to-PC 10 MB transfers are up to 2.63x faster (11.57s -> 4.40s).

3. Simultaneous Multi-Device Sharing & Custom Device Groups (Beside Pro)

  • Concurrent Multi-Peer Streaming: Select multiple paired devices and stream files, folders, or snippets simultaneously over isolated Mutual TLS 1.3 streams.
  • Custom Named Device Groups: Create and organize local device groups (device_groups.json) with zero cloud dependencies.
  • Resilient Offline Handling: Automatically skips offline group members without stalling and tracks live per-peer delivery progress.

4. Android Ecosystem Integration & MediaStore Indexing

  • System Share Sheet: Share photos, videos, documents, or URLs directly from any app into Beside (singleTask launch mode prevents duplicate engines).
  • Storage Access Framework (SAF): Pick any custom save directory (Beside Pro), or receive directly into Downloads/Beside (Beside Free).
  • Automatic MediaStore Indexing: Transferred photos and videos appear immediately in Google Photos and system galleries.
