LabDock 2.0 (2)

• Update alerts are centred, with the release notes in a tidy column under Details…, and open over the LabDock window
• Updates are always automatic: LabDock checks when it opens and once a day; LabDock ▸ Check for Updates… checks right away

LabDock 2.0 (1)

• Paddock is now LabDock — a new name, a new app (LabDock.app) and a fresh start at 2.0.
• Your hosts, saved passwords and guest logins come across from Paddock on the first launch; macOS asks once to let LabDock read the old Keychain item.
• Install this version by hand once (Paddock can't update itself into LabDock), then delete Paddock.app; later updates arrive in the app as before.

Paddock 1.0 (10)

Paddock now updates itself: it checks for a new version when it opens and once a day, and installs it with one click.

• In-app updates: Paddock ▸ Check for Updates…, or automatically (new Settings window, ⌘,). Release notes are behind Details…
• Signed updates: every update is verified against Paddock's own signing key before anything is unpacked; one that does not verify is never installed
• Host certificates are pinned by SHA-256 as well as SHA-1, and an unpinned host records the certificate it presents
• Faster consoles and transfers: rewind encodes off the main thread, shell output streams, guest downloads stream straight to disk
• Clearer errors: a bad address answers with a sentence; an unresponsive host offers "Refresh now"
• Window polish: tabs stay in the title-bar strip at every size, the sidebar slides instead of jumping

This version has to be installed by hand once; from here on, Paddock updates itself.

Paddock 1.0 (1)

First release of Paddock — ESXi virtual machines from a native Mac app, for standalone hosts without vCenter.

• Several hosts, one sidebar — add each ESXi host once (certificate pinned, password in the Keychain) and see every VM with its power and Tools state; filter All / Running / Off
• Power and snapshots — power on / off / reset / suspend, guest shutdown and reboot, snapshot tree with take / revert / delete
• Inside the guest through VMware Tools — copy files in, run commands and scripts, keep a bash or PowerShell session open, paste the Mac clipboard into the guest, and share the clipboard both ways
• Built-in console — no browser needed; double-click a VM to open it, ⌘ acts as Ctrl inside the guest, Ctrl-Alt-Del and Windows keys from the Keys menu, keyboard follows the mouse
• Consoles stay connected in the background so Windows guests no longer lock when you switch VMs; the lock-on-disconnect option is shown per VM and can be turned off
• Optional Rewind records the console so you can scrub back through what just happened
• Network editing — a VM's adapters, port groups, virtual switches and uplinks
