What's new · 26.2.3

### Security This release addresses a security advisory covering several intent-handling and remote configuration vulnerabilities. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade. Thanks to [Noel Gomillion](https://github.com/engomillion) & [Pranati Majhi](https://github.com/pmajhi) at Texas A&M for working with us on this. - External configuration loading (via `owntracks://` URLs and config files) is now disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled in Settings - A confirmation dialog is shown when enabling external configuration, warning that any config URL can fully reconfigure the app - All intents/shortcuts now require a shared secret (`Intent Auth Key`) in every intent, preventing unauthorised apps from triggering location publishes or changing monitoring mode. The `Intent Auth Key` is created once when the app is installed. - Security-related preferences (`allowConfigurationByURIAndConfigFile`, `allowIntentControl`, `intentAuthKey`) cannot be changed via imported config files or URLs ### New features - New **Remote Control** preferences screen showing the intent auth key (with a copy-to-clipboard function) for use with shortcuts. The `Intent Auth Key` is created once when the app is installed. - A new setting `remoteConfguration` controls (defaults to `off`) - Config import screen now shows a structured diff of what is changing ### Under the hood - [NEW] UI implemented in Swift - [NEW] replace Cocoapods with swift packages - [NEW] replace Cocoalumberjack with os_logger
