The next desktop release is the first with accounts, cloud sync, sharing, live editing and replays, so it ships as 5.0.0. Dara chose the number on 2026-10-13. This PR names the version and adds the player-facing notes the What's new dialog and the updater show.

Version

  • pubspec.yaml: 4.6.3+104 becomes 5.0.0+104, and msix_version becomes 5.0.0.0.
  • Settings.versionName: 5.0.0.
  • The build number stays 104. Main moved to 104 for the Paranoia migration (Bring cloud sync and the web beta into main #234), and desktop never shipped it (4.6.3 is 103). So no saved strategy or .ica gets a newer stamp than it already would. I didn't use scripts/bump_version.ps1, because it always adds one to the build number.

Release notes (release/metadata/5.0.0+104.json)

Title: "5.0.0: Icarus goes online". It has 12 features and 3 fixes, drawn from the PRs merged since 4.6.3 (#179–#296):

  • sign-in and sync
  • Move to cloud
  • share links and people
  • live cursors and outlines
  • Replays and Capture, .vrf from anywhere, Keep and Remove
  • Recently deleted
  • lineup Edit placement and copying
  • turning abilities with X
  • theme profile codes and Lotus Moss
  • backups that include the cloud
  • the welcome tour
  • view cones on Riot's minimap lines
  • Paranoia and Steel Garden sizes
  • text and image placement on defense
  • smoother dragging

Not visible early: the dialog reads the published updater manifest (Settings.desktopUpdaterArchiveUrl), not main. So 4.6.3 users won't see these notes until the release is published.

Check before release day

  • date is set to 2026-10-13 as a placeholder. Set it to the real release date.
  • The Replays note says replays can be watched and captured. Right now Icarus reads replays only up to VALORANT patch 13.06, and the live patch is 13.08. Reword it if 13.07/13.08 support hasn't landed by then.
  • The Corrode 13.08 redraw isn't in yet. If it lands before the release, add a fix line for it.

Checks

  • flutter test test/release_notes_test.dart test/update_checker_test.dart test/cloud_build_config_test.dart passes (27 tests).
  • scripts/test_release_safety.ps1 passes.
  • I didn't see the notes in the running app: they appear only once the release manifest is published.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added account sync, cloud libraries and sharing, and live collaboration.
    • Added VALORANT replay support, recovery and lineup editing tools, map themes, export options, and a welcome tour.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed issues with view cones, ability sizing, resizing, and dragging.
  • Release
    • Updated the version to 5.0.0 (build 104).

Build 104 is already this release's data version (raised for the
Paranoia migration, never shipped to desktop), so only the version
name moves: 4.6.3+104 becomes 5.0.0+104, msix 5.0.0.0.
