Deprecated Release

Superseded by the newer database architecture introduced in later releases.

Release Notice: Yanked release: version name was mistakenly kept as v1.1.2-Alpha during release packaging. Superseded immediately by v1.2.1.

Early preview of Jetpack Compose UI for basic password operations and improved rendering performance. Explicitly yanked due to version metadata duplication.

**Jetpack Compose (Preview Feature)**: made a jetpack compose UI that can be used for basic operation. (@JeelDobariya38)

v1.1.2 — Architecture Cleanup & Multi-Module Refactor

Deprecated Release

Superseded by the newer database architecture introduced in later releases.

Extensive internal code quality refactor, modular multi-module Gradle project structure, and settings schema migration while preserving all local password data untouched.

**Migrate to DataStore**: changed the way how setting and feature flag were been storage. previously, we were using shared preferences. but, now we use datastore which is much more modern way of storing such type of data... but this will also mean that all your previously store setting will be longer be available anymore. we have decide this breaking changes, because app settings can be restored again (in like few minutes). (@JeelDobariya38)
**Autofill System (Preview Feature)**: added an autofill service to autofill user's credentials on the fly. (@hexCode63)
**Jetpack Compose (Preview Feature)**: added jetpack compose UI & even added a toggle to switch to this new UI. but it would be worthless to do so, because it just has a single screen.. _this feature is mainly for very earlier testing_. (@JeelDobariya38)
**MVI Flavored - Clean Architecture**: migrated the codebase to make it more scalable, extendable & readable. this will enable us to create better features faster & make a strong base for faster iteration & collaboration. and will help us delegate & modularized task in future. (@JeelDobariya38)
**Java 21**: code now compile to java 21. previously it was compiling to java 11. this should improve performance & efficiency a bit. (@JeelDobariya38)

**Improved UI/UX**: improved view password screen's visual feel, also adjust the button colors a bit. (@JeelDobariya38)

**Copy Button (preview feature)**: added a copy button for copying passwords for easy of use. but as it is potential threat to security, so made it as a preview feature. (@JeelDobariya38)
**G-Passwords Import/Export (preview feature)**: added a import/export feature. which is also compatible with google passwords. I have test it with my google password setup. but, I am not sure weather this will run in every edge case or not. So, it is a preview feature for now. (@JeelDobariya38)
