NetPulse v1.0.7

NetPulse v1.0.7

New Features

• Custom Theme Colors: Added 8 preset color swatches plus a custom color palette in Settings. One‑click global accent color switching (for buttons, progress rings, etc.) with automatic persistent saving.
• Crash Diagnostic Logs: Automatically writes full thread stack traces to %APPDATA%\NetPulse\logs\crash.log when the program closes unexpectedly.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash when switching collaborative test modes: Rapid switching between relay and direct‑connect modes after generating an invite code caused application crashes. (Root cause: processEvents() re‑entrancy within the busy overlay, plus concurrent start‑stop of the paho‑mqtt network thread.)
• Fixed dark‑mode color artifacts: Card text on the home and monitoring pages retained colors from the previous theme after toggling light/dark mode; colors now refresh in real‑time.
• Completed English localisation: Added missing bilingual translations for log texts on the collaboration and stress‑testing pages.

NetPulse v1.0.6

v1.0.6 Update Notes

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed broken update‑check function: Resolved a crash occurring when the new‑version pop‑up window appeared due to missing QWidget import. Both manual and automatic update checks now show prompts correctly.
• Strengthened exception protection for the update checker; added traceback output to facilitate troubleshooting.
• Added the on_finished callback for more accurate status restoration of the update‑check button on the settings page (no longer relying on a fixed 4‑second timeout).

✨ Improvements

• Optimized the collaborative‑testing authorization mechanism: Once the controller completes target authorization, worker nodes trust the controller’s authorization directly without repeated pop‑up confirmations.
• Fixed UI unresponsiveness when starting stress tests with high thread counts; the startup overlay is displayed immediately.
• Improved stress‑test stop response speed; the waiting time for worker‑thread exit has been greatly reduced.
• The launch page supports automatic light‑/dark‑theme adaptation.
• Enhanced English translations; all UI texts support both Chinese and English.
• Adopted the onedir packaging mode, cutting launch time from seconds to milliseconds.

Usage Instructions

• Download NetPulse‑Setup‑1.0.6.exe and run the installation wizard. You may select the install directory and create a desktop shortcut.
• Supports stress testing for HTTP/HTTPS/TCP/UDP/ICMP protocols.
• Supports multi‑target parallel stress testing and collaborative distributed stress testing (direct‑connect / relay modes).
• Supports real‑time CPU, memory and network monitoring.
