Release Notes (v1.0.6)
In this major architectural release, we have completely overhauled the core engine and the UI rendering pipeline of intqual. Guided by strict adherence to S.O.L.I.D. principles, this release establishes a highly robust, extensible, and fault-tolerant "plug-and-play" architecture.
Key Features & Architectural Improvements
Structural Refactoring (S.O.L.I.D. Enforcement)
- Decoupled Widget Architecture (OCP): The Terminal User Interface (TUI) rendering loop (
draw_ui) has been completely redesigned. The monolithic 400-line procedural drawing logic was dismantled and replaced with an intelligentAppWidgetTrait. Existing visualizations are now securely isolated intoLatencyDashboardWidget(preserving the unified ICMP/TCP comparative UX) andBandwidthWidget. The system is now fully "Open for Extension, Closed for Modification." - Asynchronous Contract Discipline (LSP): Addressed a critical violation in the
NetworkProbetrait implementations (PingProbeandTcpProbe). We have eliminated detached, fire-and-forgettokio::spawnbackground threads. Network futures are now strictly, synchronously awaited within the event loops, ensuring thread determinism and preventing silent task abandonment.
Error Handling Overhaul
- Eliminated Silent Failures: Deep networking errors and runtime thread panics (e.g., from
spawn_blocking) are no longer swallowed by detached tasks. Instead, fatal socket layer exceptions properly bubble up to theCoreEngine. The application now accurately logs hardware or permission-based systemic failures rather than appearing visually unresponsive.
UI / UX Enhancements
- Telemetry streams for Ping and TCP layers are now consistently and efficiently managed by our new state-driven active widget orchestrator, reducing memory footprint and compositor overhead.
Roadmap
Tip
Next Milestone: Traceroute Integration
In the upcoming release, we will leverage our newly established Plug-and-Play Widget architecture to introduce a highly requested feature: Traceroute Analysis.
By utilizing the abstract AppWidget framework, TracerouteWidget will be seamlessly integrated into the dashboard as a standalone analysis tool, without requiring a single line of modification to the core UI rendering loop.
