FrostWire 2.9.7 (Build 749) Is Live! 🚀

fw_2 9 6_build_749

We’re excited to announce the latest FrostWire for Android release, version 2.9.7 (build 749). This update packs critical crash fixes, stability improvements, and under-the-hood tweaks to keep your BitTorrent experience smooth and reliable.

🔧 Crash Fixes & Stability Improvements

NPE Guard in PerformersHelper
Fixed a NullPointerException in PerformersHelper.sortByRelevance when the current query was null or empty, eliminating random app crashes.
Safe UI Handling
Guarded against showing UI after an activity is paused in local broadcast receivers, preventing IllegalStateException.
Notification Daemon Refinement
Moved the startForeground() call from onCreate() to onStartCommand() in MusicPlaybackService, ensuring our notification update daemon starts exactly once—and only when it’s supposed to.
DrawerLayout Hardening
Swapped out DrawerLayout for a new SafeDrawerLayout that catches measurement-related IllegalStateException and falls back gracefully.
Bundle Size Management
Avoided TransactionTooLargeException by writing large torrent metadata to a temporary file (rather than squeezing it into an Intent bundle).
Chaquopy Packaging Fix
Ensured Python code under src/main/python is included in the APK, fixing “marshall data too short” errors for scripting features.

🛠 Additional Under-the-Hood Tweaks

Version Bump
Updated versionCode to 749 and versionName to 2.9.7 in the AndroidManifest.
Gradle Integration
Added a Gradle block to package Chaquopy’s Python sources automatically.
Changelog Update
Refreshed changelog.txt with all the above fixes, dated APR/17/2025.
