This release introduces umtx2 exploit support for FW 1.00–5.50, switches slopkit to a secure custom elfldr (matching the other autoloaders), brings major cache resiliency improvements to prevent corruption, and polishes the installer UI and repository structure.
Key highlights:
- **umtx2 Exploit Integration (FW 1.00–5.50)**:
- Integrated umtx2 alongside slopkit with automatic firmware detection from the User-Agent.
- Exploit runs isolated inside a hidden iframe with live console mirroring and real-time progress updates.
- Automated payload delivery via native main-loop event dispatch.
- State persistence across WebProcess crash-restores using sessionStorage (`wkal_autoload`).
- Post-autoload iframe unloading for umtx2 to prevent out-of-memory browser dialogs.
- Uses stock bundled elfldr for the umtx2 chain (as newer elfldr builds failed to load properly with umtx2).
- **Custom Localhost elfldr for slopkit (FW 9.00–12.00)**:
- Switched slopkit chain to use a custom localhost-only `ps5-elfldr`, matching Y2JB / BD-JB / Lua autoloaders.
- Enhances security by restricting incoming payload connections to the console itself (127.0.0.1) — most autoloader users do not need an open network port listening on the PS5.
- A standard network-facing elfldr can still be used via Payload Manager or manual `autoload.txt` config (see README for instructions).
- **Cache Resiliency & Offline Installer Enhancements**:
- Versioned application directory layout (`/app/<version>/`) and `__complete__` cache manifest marker prevent partial cache corruption during network drops or early browser exit.
- Stable pointer page (`/app/index.html`) verifies cache completeness before redirection.
- Homescreen shortcut creation is deferred until caching is 100% complete via the `/install` route.
- Live verbose installer logging and visual progress bar in the installer UI.
- Dynamic AppCache manifest filtering based on detected firmware and build flags (`FORCE_EXPLOIT`).
- Recursive directory creation (`mkdir_p`) ensuring fresh PS5 systems install without errors.
- **Repository Structure & Upstream Updates**:
- Reorganized patch diffs into dedicated `patches/` directory and consolidated scripts into `tools/`.
- Updated upstream slopkit submodule to commit 6153152.
- Added on-demand pre-release build workflow with custom version tagging.
