-Gearslip 0.3.40 is a test build for a few cars that still don't connect.
+Gearslip 0.4.0 brings a web browser with ad blocking, a map behind place lists, any music app or messenger in the car, and a cleaner player beside the map.
 
-If your car works on 0.3.39, you don't need this one. If you're following #18, #39 or #57, please try it and attach a log to your issue: open Gearslip, tap Logs, then Share log.
+## New
+- The car's web browser opens on a start page with bookmark tiles, the search engine you choose, and ad blocking with EasyList and EasyPrivacy (#85). Manage bookmarks in the car or on the phone.
+- Add any installed app to the car as a music app or a messenger, under Car > Apps > Add an app (#84).
+- Apps that list places, such as RF Sentinel, show them on a map, as Android Auto does.
+- Download a certificate from a link, as a .p12 file or as PEM or DER, and fetch it again later from Settings (#15).
+- Car display density takes any value from 60 to 480 DPI, under Screen > Custom (#82).
+- Hide the nav bar's mic button. The car's voice key still works.
+- Phone in the car opens on recent calls, with missed calls marked.
+- Today's weather card shows the next few hours.
+
+## Player and navigation
+- With the player beside the map, like, shuffle, repeat, and lyrics sit in the nav bar, and the dock button there closes the player.
+- The player's buttons fit narrow screens, and the song's times show beside the map and in larger type on the media screen.
+- The trip's time, arrival, and distance have their own card at the bottom again.
+- The cover stays steady instead of dimming every few seconds.
+- Waze's Go button counts down and starts the drive by itself.
 
 ## Fixed
-- A car that holds back its screen is asked for it again with the detail older cars expect. This is for the 2017 Pilot (#57) and other cars on the oldest Android Auto version.
-- Music no longer carries on from the phone's speaker after you turn the car off. An app that started playing again by itself is paused a second time (#39).
-- A liked song lights up the whole like button, as shuffle and repeat do. Before, only the heart filled in for apps such as Metrolist.
+- Map apps keep their GPS fix with the phone locked (#99). Gearslip asks for location "Allow all the time" while a car is connected, and uses it only then.
+- Gearslip tells Honda cars which phone it is, so they hand over their screen, and sends sound in bigger chunks to cars that take it slowly (#86, #87). Thanks to @davideresigotti.
+- A car that hangs up during setup gets a shorter request the next time (#91).
+- The car screen follows the language you pick for Gearslip (#80).
+- The music browser handles apps that list the same song twice (#90).
+- Screen sharing stops when the car leaves (#88).
+- Apps known not to work show a red X and start unticked, in the car and in the phone's app list. Patched copies that work, such as Waze through Morphe, show none.
 
-## Testing
-- GM cars open two more channels, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi projection, and log what the car sends on them. This is to find out why the 2021 Bolt hangs up about 20 seconds in (#18). If you drive a GM car, type your phone's Bluetooth address under Settings > Connection > Phone's Bluetooth address. You'll find it in Android's Settings under About phone.
+## Changed
+- The car audio choice moved to Settings > Connection. With Through Gearslip, map apps' spoken directions play on the phone.
+- Connecting wirelessly with Wi-Fi off now asks you to turn it on (#102). Thanks to @grmasa.
