⚠️ Important Safety Notes

• Disable Antivirus: Before running the tool, temporarily disable Windows Defender or any 3rd party antivirus. GSM tools often modify system partitions, which antivirus software flags as "HackTool" or "Trojan." This is a False Positive.
• Backup Data: Always advise your clients to back up their data. While UnlockTool is safe, unlocking bootloaders or flashing firmware wipes user data.
• Avoid Cracked Versions: Do not attempt to use "loader" or cracked versions of this update. They often contain malware and will result in your legitimate hardware ID getting banned by the official server.

Security changes

• Default-updated minimum TLS to 1.3 and ciphersuites restricted to AEAD-only.
• All stored keys now use OS-provided secure enclaves where available.
• Audit logs are HMAC-signed; rotation policy added.
• Deprecation of weak legacy API keys; migration tool included.

Known issues

• macOS older-than-11: installer may fail due to notarization constraints.
• Some Android devices with aggressive OEM battery managers may pause background monitoring — add to battery whitelist per OEM guidance.
• iOS: Full FIDO2 features require device pairing and enterprise entitlements.

New features

1. Adaptive unlocking engine

   • Introduces context-aware policies that adjust unlock thresholds based on device state (battery level, network, location confidence).
   • Defaults: conservative mode (low false accepts), balanced mode (recommended), and permissive mode (developer/testing).

2. Multi-factor unlock workflows

   • Supports combining biometric confirmation, one-time codes, and hardware token presence (e.g., FIDO2).

3. Remote update orchestration

   • Secure over-the-air (OTA) staged rollouts with canary cohorts, automatic rollback on failure.

4. Audit and telemetry module

   • Local audit trail with signed events; optional anonymized telemetry for performance metrics.

5. Plugin API v2

   • Expanded hooks for third-party integration (pre-unlock check, post-unlock logging).
   • Backward-compatible adapters included.

6. Installer improvements

   • Atomic installation (transactional replace), resumable downloads, checksum verification, and user-friendly CLI prompts.
