Fry Hub v4.0.26

Fry Hub 4.0.26 release.

FryHub v4.0.24

Release v4.0.24 - E2E validated

v4.0.16

v4.0.16 — B1 PoC binary auto-update fleet release

Includes B1-aware updater that propagates PoC binary updates automatically once installed:

• 65c358a feat(updater): PoC binary auto-update + RunLevel=Highest
• 2c83ebe fix(updater): run PoC update even when MSI update path fails
• 2c1324f fix(updater): tolerate nssm stop kill-path exit code 1

Validated end-to-end on FryStation (QA 1d Part 2 RETRY-2: PASS, full v1.6.5->v1.6.6 swap).

Skips burned v4.0.15 (Draft release that never shipped; tag retained as historical artifact).

Existing operators: run this installer once to pick up the B1-aware updater. After that, future PoC version flips propagate automatically within ~24h via the FryNetworksUpdater scheduled task (logon + daily 10am triggers).

v4.0.14

What's New in v4.0.14

Launch UX

• Startup firewall sweep now runs off the UI thread — main window appears in ~12 seconds instead of ~2.5 minutes
• Splash artwork regenerated with correct logo aspect ratio (no more skew)
• Added reproducible splash generator script ()

UI Improvements

• PyInstaller splash screen during installer bootstrap
• Spinner overlay on Validate button during key validation
• 'Configured firewall rules' shown in install progress log
• PowerShell console windows hidden at pre-window subprocess sites

Firewall & Olostep

• Auto-allow firewall rules for miner binaries, Olostep Browser, and updater
• Silent Olostep auto-accept via config.json pre-staging
• Startup sweep recovery: missing rules restored on relaunch without blocking UI
• Clean uninstall removes per-miner firewall rules

Build

• Exclude unused modules to reduce bundle size
• Disable UPX to reduce bundle ~70 MB

v4.0.13

v4.0.13

Release highlights:

Security fixes:

• L3 updater downgrade guard — blocks the v4.0.12 downgrade-hijack
  bug that could silently install older versions
• L2 installer self-check — refuses to run if a newer installer is
  already registered in Add/Remove Programs

Functional fixes:

• F4 Olostep Browser install flow — correct Squirrel detection path,
  no-flag invocation, stray-process taskkill sweep, and bounded-poll
  verification that correctly handles Squirrel's async teardown
• N1 'Check for Updates' dialog now distinguishes up-to-date from
  update-launched and shows the installed version
• N2 'Fry Networks' (with space) user-visible branding + legacy .lnk
  migration for shortcuts from prior versions

Build infrastructure:

• SHA256 checksums emitted for all release artifacts (MSI + EXE +
  updater)
• MSI filename aligned with release naming convention
• Updater registry discovery now queries both 64-bit and 32-bit
  (WOW6432Node) views for compatibility with legacy installs

13-commit series on top of v4.0.12 (e9f2b9e..45c53fb).

v4.0.12

v4.0.12

Bug fixes:

• MSI uninstaller: the installer now registers in Add/Remove Programs (visible to Revo Uninstaller and other uninstall tools).
• Olostep browser download URL corrected.
• Updater self-discovery: the background updater determines its current version automatically (ARPCache → filename pattern → CLI override). No more manual --current-version argument.
• Updater installer-asset filter: prefers .msi over .exe, filters by frynetworks_installer_ prefix to avoid downloading the wrong asset.

UX:

• Banner renamed "Updates available" → "Miner updates available" (tray notification: "Miner updates required"). Clarifies that the banner is about miner binary versions, not the installer itself.

Latent bugs fixed:

• config_manager case mismatch ("unknown" → "Unknown") — prevents false-positive miner banners on installs without version info.

Install:

• New: use frynetworks_installer_v4.0.12.msi for install via Windows Installer (registers in Add/Remove Programs).
• Alternative: frynetworks_installer_v4.0.12.exe for standalone install (does not register in Add/Remove Programs).

Upgrade:

• Existing installs on v4.0.11 or earlier: run the MSI for the first time to get ARP registration. Subsequent upgrades will use the MSI MajorUpgrade path.

v4.0.11 - CRX 2-tier fallback + graceful degradation

v4.0.11 — CRX 2-tier fallback + graceful degradation

What's new

• Tier 1: direct CRX download from Olostep API (orbit-api.olostep.com, 8s timeout)
• Tier 2: Bunny CDN fallback (frynetworks-extensions.b-cdn.net, 6s timeout) if Olostep fails
• Graceful degradation: installer completes successfully even if both CRX sources fail — web-scraping features will be limited until web agent can be installed later
• Tier 3 (bundled unpacked CRX) deferred to v4.0.12

Context

Olostep API has been returning HTTP 500 since April 2026 for the extension download endpoint. This release adds a Bunny CDN mirror so fresh installs can complete without waiting on upstream recovery. Bunny pull zone will be seeded on first successful Olostep recovery run (current status: storage zone empty by design).

v4.0.10 — Bundled updater fix

v4.0.10

Fix

• Bundles updated updater that correctly detects .exe release assets (previously only looked for .msi, causing auto-update to silently fail against .exe releases).
• Updater --quiet silent-mode flag validated.

Scope

Bundled-updater fix release. No installer functional changes beyond the shipped updater.
