Release Date: January 30, 2026
Compatibility: Python 3.9+ | Windows, Linux, macOS

Major Changes

Complete UI Redesign

The SSH Tunnel Manager has been completely redesigned with a modern, professional card-based interface that replaces the traditional table layout. The new design provides better visual hierarchy, improved usability, and context-aware controls.

Card-Based Layout

  • Each tunnel is now displayed as an individual card with clear visual separation
  • Cards show tunnel name, status badge, and all connection details at a glance
  • Fixed card height (220px) ensures consistent layout and prevents text cutoff
  • Optimized spacing between elements for improved readability

Professional Dark Theme

  • Enterprise-grade dark color scheme inspired by Linear, VS Code, and Slack
  • Primary background: #0d1117
  • Accent colors: Success (#2ea44f), Info (#1f6feb), Danger (#f85149)
  • Improved contrast and typography for better legibility

Context-Aware Action Buttons

Actions have been moved from the toolbar to individual tunnel cards, providing context-specific controls based on tunnel state and type.

Active Tunnel Actions:

  • Stop button (red)
  • Service-specific quick launch buttons:
    • Open Browser (web services on ports 80, 443, 8080, 8443, 8000, 3000, 5000, 9000)
    • Open RTSP Stream (RTSP services on ports 554, 8554)
    • Open RDP (Remote Desktop on port 3389)
  • Browse Files (SFTP access)
  • Test Connection

Inactive Tunnel Actions:

  • Start button (green)
  • Edit configuration
  • Delete tunnel

Interface Improvements

Window Management

  • Default window size: 1400x900 pixels
  • Minimum size: 1200x700 pixels
  • Window position: Centered on screen at startup

Space Allocation

  • Card area: 80% of vertical space
  • Log panel: 20% of vertical space
  • Resizable splitter allows manual adjustment
  • Dashboard hidden by default (can be toggled)

Simplified Toolbar

  • New Tunnel (primary action)
  • Network Scanner
  • SSH Key Management
  • Settings
  • About

Functional Improvements

State Management

  • Fixed tunnel state refresh after stopping
  • Cards now correctly check running status, not just presence in active tunnels dictionary
  • Immediate UI updates when tunnel state changes

Text Layout

  • Word wrapping enabled for long values
  • Minimum width constraints prevent text cutoff
  • Increased spacing between detail columns
  • Labels use system font (Segoe UI) with appropriate weights

Technical Details

Dependencies

  • PySide6 (Qt6) for GUI framework
  • No changes to core SSH tunnel functionality
  • Backward compatible with existing configuration files

Build Information

  • Executable size: 95.65 MB
  • Platform: Windows x64
  • Python version: 3.13.3
  • PyInstaller: 6.14.2

Migration Notes

Configuration Compatibility

  • All existing tunnel configurations are fully compatible
  • No manual migration required
  • Settings and saved tunnels will load automatically

User Interface Changes

  • Tunnel selection no longer required for most actions
  • Actions are performed directly from tunnel cards
  • Toolbar contains only application-level commands

Known Limitations

  • Dashboard statistics hidden by default (toggle to view)
  • Card layout requires more vertical space than table view
  • Custom themes not yet supported (professional dark theme only)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed tunnel stop button not resetting card state
  • Corrected text cutoff in connection detail fields
  • Resolved word wrapping issues for long hostnames
  • Fixed button height inconsistencies

Future Enhancements

Planned for future releases:

  • Customizable card layouts
  • Theme selection (light/dark/custom)
  • Tunnel grouping and filtering
  • Export/import functionality improvements
  • Advanced monitoring dashboards
