Release notes

VoxGuard 4.8.21

Internal pilot baseline for more reliable voice sessions, cleaner session transitions, message organization, and admin visibility.

Release date: July 10, 2026
Runtime version: 4.8.21+26071002

Release focus

VoxGuard 4.8.21 improved voice-session recovery, logout and location cleanup, conversation organization, and administrator audit access. These changes are included in the current 4.8.23 internal build.

This baseline was not a public app-store release. Wider availability remains a separate release-owner decision.

User-visible changes

  • Conversations can be archived per user and restored without deleting shared message history.
  • PTT waits for a confirmed voice-channel join and offers an actionable Retry state when joining fails.
  • An ended session returns to login after orderly cleanup instead of leaving stale operational state.
  • Sign-out and account switching remove stale location and audio state while preserving a returning user's fresh location.
  • Administrators can open the audit log directly and filter events with clearer categories.

Validation summary

  • Voice cold-start simulator smoke passed 20/20 scenarios.
  • Logout, relaunch, and location cleanup scenarios passed across two users.
  • Authorization, protected backend, Edge Function, admin, and documentation checks passed.
  • The release baseline was later incorporated into the current 4.8.23 internal build.
