KonX 0.31.0

KonX 0.31.0 — Customize Home

2026-10-27. Hide the Home sections you do not need and bring them back when wanted. KonX keeps your choices between launches.

Changes

• Close Introduction, Quick connect, Recent sessions, Sessions, Network tools, or Keyboard using the section's × button.
• Open Customize Home, choose visible sections or use Restore all, then Save. The control stays available when every section is hidden.
• Retain your choices when reopening Home, changing workspace layouts, or restarting KonX. New profiles and upgrades from 0.30.0 or earlier initially show all sections.
• Keep saved sessions, recent history, active connections, and tools intact. Closing a Home section only changes its visibility on the landing page.
• Hiding Quick connect clears its unsaved password and stops a pending Save & connect action from opening a connection afterward. If the save finishes, the saved login remains available in Sessions.
• Keep all 18 application themes, terminal-palette overrides, header updater, and terminal clipboard controls.

See Customize Home, the workspace guide, and the update guide.

Downloads and upgrading

Windows x64: installer, portable, and checksums.

Installed 0.6.2+ and portable 0.6.0+ can use Update KonX. The shortcut is at the top right in 0.28.0+, or on Home in older releases; Settings → Updates also remains available. Installed 0.6.0/0.6.1 requires one manual upgrade. Save drafts, stop listeners and captures, and disconnect before restarting. Both distributions keep the existing Windows profile. See the update guide.

Validation

Full suite: 1,081/1,081 passed. Windows packaging verified 160 source files and 9 runtime dependencies. Packaged SSH passed 28 negotiation and 16 key-format checks; serial passed 27 synthetic checks. Unpacked and portable builds passed isolated save/restart smoke checks. Executable product versions match 0.31.0.

Home checks covered closing and restoring all six groups, keyboard controls, Save/Cancel and Restore all, rapid close requests, failed settings writes and retry, reopening Home while a save is pending, and persistence across a real process restart. Hiding and restoring Quick connect during a pending session save preserved the saved session without opening a connection. The controls were checked at 900px across all five layouts with dark, light, and animated themes. Existing session-login and recent-history checks also passed.

Coverage

Automated release checks use isolated profiles and synthetic data. Physical equipment, live providers, physical multi-monitor changes, and an elevated installed upgrade require separate field testing. Executables remain unsigned.
