About these release notes

  • Original descriptions are preserved: expand an entry or open its page to read the original text. The earliest entry, 1.0.0, has no recorded description.
  • Older maintenance notes stay concise: where no particular fixes were named, neither do we.
  • Help links describe today’s app: a linked guide may include controls added after the historical release.
  • Internal builds stay separate: Varium 2.2.0+40 was an internal TestFlight draft and is not a public release entry. This historical draft is not the same as later released versions.
Historical reference: release source. The dated archive is limited to previously captured source records through 2.1.0; the current 2.5.0 overview is maintained separately until its exact release date is verified. Get Varium on Google Play · Help Centre
