Aether-GUI v0.2.0
A one-click desktop GUI for the Aether censorship-circumvention tunnel. Press Connect — identity setup, route discovery, and prompt answering all happen automatically.
What's new in 0.2.0
- Animated 3D backdrop — a real-time WebGL scene (a flowing aurora gradient, a drifting particle field, and an energy ring behind the connect button) that reacts to the connection state: orange while searching, teal once connected. Falls back to a lightweight animated background automatically when a GPU context isn't available or the OS requests reduced motion.
- Automatic reconnect — if the tunnel drops unexpectedly mid-session, the app now retries on its own with backoff ("Reconnecting… attempt N of 3") instead of dropping you to a bare error. A disconnect you asked for is never retried.
- Persian README — the project docs are now available in فارسی alongside English.
Earlier fixes now included
- Fixed an infinite Protocol → Scan Mode prompt loop that could get connections stuck (affected every protocol).
- Live route-discovery progress: real elapsed time plus an actual percentage and progress bar once Aether reports its scan budget.
