One fix, reported from a Xiaomi on Android 16: the font weight control did nothing. Both bundled faces carry a single variable axis, wght, and the app was asking for two — a font with no italic axis may refuse the whole request rather than the part it cannot honour, and on a platform that does, every weight drew at Regular with no error to show for it. The same declaration had quietly broken the heavier weights on Android 7.0 and 7.1 as well. A patch release, not a minor one: nothing else changed. README.md and releases/README.md were written by tools/update_release_docs.py rather than by hand, which is what it is for — and ReleaseDocsTest now has something real to check, since the version, the archived APK and the checksum all moved together. The 0.4.0 row also gets its real commit in place of HEAD. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

On Android 7.0 and 7.1, where variable fonts do not exist at all, the heavier
|
|
weights were unreachable for a related reason. They now work there too.
