PiNT Terminal 0.2.0 introduces a vault organised as groups containing devices, with shared group credentials and optional custom credentials per device.

  • Create and rename groups, add or move devices, and search groups, names, addresses and tags.
  • Set a standard username, password and SSH key path for a group. New devices inherit that complete set; custom credentials replace it completely, including deliberately blank fields.
  • See whether a device uses group defaults or custom credentials without exposing its password in the details panel.
  • Existing terminal tabs retain their connection details through reconnects. Open a new tab to use changed group defaults.

Download PiNT-Terminal-0.2.0-Windows-x64.exe and run it directly on Windows. It contains its runtime and does not require Python or a separate folder of libraries. On Apple Silicon Macs, open PiNT-Terminal-0.2.0-macOS-arm64.dmg and drag PiNT Terminal to Applications. SHA256SUMS.txt contains the hashes for both downloads.

Older workspaces retain their existing per-device credentials as custom credentials. Before the first format upgrade, PiNT saves the original encrypted vault beside the workspace as name.v1-backup.pint, using a numbered suffix if needed. Upgraded vaults and exports require 0.2.0 or later and cannot be opened by 0.1.1. Recordings keep their existing format. To return to an older app, close PiNT, preserve the upgraded files separately, then restore the backup under the original workspace filename beside its recordings database.

Verification includes 133 tests and 7 subtests on each of macOS Apple Silicon and Windows 11 ARM64 using x64 Python under emulation. Native group/device forms and scaled layouts were checked, and the macOS → Windows → macOS round trip preserved group defaults, custom blank credentials, Unicode settings, recordings and a migrated legacy vault.

The Windows EXE passed Vault and Recordings launches from a folder containing only that EXE. The Mac DMG passed verification, read-only mounting and native launch of an app copied out of the image.

This release is marked stable. Windows is unsigned; the Mac app uses an ad hoc signature and is not notarised. Conventional x64 hardware, Intel macOS, native Windows ARM64 and further real-device acceptance remain unverified. Planned features and current terminal, transfer and security limitations are documented in the README. Close an older app before opening the same workspace in this release.

GitHub verification passed on macOS and Windows with Python 3.12 for release commit 68013d77e2dbee4a5862a3302311d3005579c83b.
