RustAdmin v2.0.2

Changelog

Fixed:

• Fixed macOS GUI connection opening after installing/launching the server as a LaunchAgent/service.
• Refactored IPC listener startup with stale-listener retry handling.
• Added panic logging and adjusted macOS tray startup behavior.
• Made IPC child-process shutdown platform-aware to reduce stale process/listener conflicts.
• Improved no-video watchdog and send-timeout handling for startup hangs.
• Handled hardware encoder “no valid frame” and codec startup failures more gracefully.

Improved:

• Added startup-safe video QoS and video timeout diagnostics.
• Added connection, server, video encoder/decoder, first-frame, payload, FPS, and close-path diagnostics.
• Added explicit codec preference handling and logging, defaulting missing values to Auto.
• Switched HW codec handling toward fallback behavior instead of disabling codecs outright.
• Added connection properties UI and monitor positioning controls.
• Improved connection-property controls with custom selects/dropdowns.

macOS / Packaging:

• Updated macOS build/package scripts.
• Added macOS build report and stricter hwcodec build checks.
• Added runtime logging docs for locating GUI/service logs.

hbb_common:

• Bumped hbb_common to 2.0.2 and revision 001.
• Normalized imported encrypted options.
• Added V1 secretbox payload format with nonce.
• Enabled macOS IPC path logic/tests.

hwcodec note:

• Relevant committed hwcodec-side work since the boundary includes FFmpeg link target selection, hardware encoder enablement/fallback, encoder probe refinement, and EAGAIN/no-packet handling.

Versioning:

• Client: 2.0.1 -> 2.0.2
• Flutter package: 2.0.2+1
• hbb_common: 2.0.1 -> 2.0.2
