Aether-GUI v0.8.0

Aether-GUI v0.8.0

Bundles Aether v2.1.0 (up from 1.5.0).

New

• Psiphon and Tor. A new Network selector runs Psiphon or Tor alone, inside the WARP tunnel, or with WARP dialled through them. Psiphon needs no configuration, connects in seconds, and has an exit-country option. The GUI waits until the core reports Tor/Psiphon is actually ready before showing Connected.
• MASQUE-in-MASQUE protocol (two nested MASQUE hops, for a different exit address).
• Set as system proxy. While connected, the OS proxy setting points at the tunnel (via a local HTTP proxy) and your previous setting is restored on disconnect, on exit, and after a crash. Tested on Windows; macOS and GNOME are implemented but untested, so reports are welcome.
• Start on login (launches to the tray) and Connect on launch.
• Tray icon status: green dot when connected, amber while connecting, plus Connect / Disconnect in the tray menu.
• HTTP proxy, upstream proxy and exit-country filter options.
• Scan mode Stealth is now Verified (the core renamed it; saved profiles migrate automatically).
• Copy / clear logs, the proxy address on the connected screen, a resizable window, and Chinese and Japanese READMEs.

Fixed

• Stuck on "Answering setup prompts" (#3, #25): Windows console escape sequences broke prompt matching, and the UI never advanced past Launching. Both fixed; the progress bar now shows.
• Stopping the core no longer leaves Tor/Psiphon helper processes running.
• Local Windows builds no longer ship without the tunnel engine (new fetch-aether.ps1; CI now fails if the core or pt/ is missing).

Known issue

• The Linux AppImage can crash on some Arch/Mesa setups (#32). Use the .deb / .rpm, or see the workaround in #26.
