- Fixed light-mode contrast in Files, Tunnels, and remote-desktop controls.
- Quick Connect and other dialogs now scroll within the window, keeping every field and action inside the panel.
- Native installers for Windows, both Mac architectures, and Linux, with SHA-256 checksums.

Asset names begin with MobaRust-0.1.1-. Choose an installer, not GitHub's automatically generated source archives.
This is an unsigned desktop preview. Windows may show an unknown-publisher/SmartScreen warning. macOS may block first launch because the app is not Developer ID signed or notarized; after attempting to open it, use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway only if you trust this download. Do not disable system security globally.
Start with a local terminal, or add your SSH host, username, and authentication method. Verify the server host-key fingerprint before accepting a first connection. SSH, SFTP/SCP, saved sessions, and tunnels are the primary use cases. VNC is experimental and requires explicit consent for unencrypted remote TCP. The experimental RDP helper is excluded from these packages.
Use Light mode / Dark mode in the top bar to switch the entire workspace and active terminal immediately. Your choice is saved. To follow your operating system instead, choose Settings → Theme → System.
Installers are built on native GitHub runners and checked for binary startup. Full GUI clean-install and real-server interoperability across all platforms are still pending. This preview is not a production-readiness claim.
Each platform includes a SHA-256 checksum file. Verify with shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS-macos-arm64.txt on macOS, sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS-linux-x64.txt on Linux, or compare Get-FileHash .\MobaRust-0.1.1-windows-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256 with the Windows checksum file. Checksums detect corruption; they are not publisher signatures.
