v1.1.81

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.81 adds App Lock (password plus Touch ID / Windows Hello), SFTP archive extract, OSC desktop notifications, a Spanish UI locale, and a cluster of terminal copy / SSH / AI reliability fixes.

🔒 App Lock

• Settings can enable App Lock with a password, idle timeout, lock-on-background, and a title-bar lock button. Locked windows hide session details, block shortcuts, and queue ssh:// deep links until unlock (#1609).
• macOS Touch ID and Windows Hello can unlock; optional auto-prompt on reopen. A forgotten-password reset is available from the lock screen.
• The lock overlay still lets you drag the window; unlock controls stay clickable (#3059).

📂 SFTP extract and bookmarks

• Right-click Extract here for zip, tar, tar.gz / tgz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, gz, bz2, and xz on remote and local panes (#3042).
• Bookmark popover closes as soon as a saved path is selected (#3055).

🔔 Terminal notifications, copy, and input

• OSC 9 / 777 / 99 desktop notifications for remote jobs (Settings → Terminal → Behavior), including hibernated sessions; click the toast to jump back (#3037).
• History-preview copy works while vim owns the screen; wrap-boundary spaces survive copy; SearchAddon matches are not copied (#3035, #3036, #3038).
• Previous-line keyword highlight survives Enter chunks that carry a bare CR; hidden focus-mode panes stay full-size so \r progress no longer floods the buffer (#3040, #3048).
• Esc+. is passed through for readline yank-last-arg (#3047).

🔌 SSH, snippets, and i18n

• TERM-SSHD transports are not idle-parked; Copy Tab / SFTP-held last-close reuse is confirmed first (#3030).
• Bastion / PAM products can launch Netcatty with PuTTY-style CLI args (-ssh, -P, -l, -pw) (#3044).
• Snippet shortkeys ignore disabled app shortcuts when checking conflicts (#3029).
• Neutral Spanish (es) UI locale (#3008).

🤖 AI, MCP, and Grok

• Grok models expose reasoning-effort selection and keep legacy model / effort choices (#3056).
• Active thinking streams are no longer aborted at 2 minutes while tokens are still arriving (#3052).
• SSE data: lines without a space after the colon are accepted (#3027).
• Cursor CLI login on Windows cmd shims; MCP no-arg tools accept omitted arguments (#3039, #3050).

Full Changelog: v1.1.80...v1.1.81

v1.1.80

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.80 makes the AI composer stay responsive while you type, finishes the keyword-highlight flicker work, and hardens SFTP replace / reconnect plus a few terminal transfer and settings gaps.

🤖 AI composer stays responsive

• Expanding the chat panel and typing the first characters no longer hitch: Streamdown / Shiki wait until the composer is idle, history stays plaintext until the renderer is warm, and the composer stays mounted on hidden retained panels (#2993, #2997).
• The textarea is uncontrolled — per-keystroke draft flushes and ChatInput chrome re-renders are gone. Send still reads the live box, then clears immediately so the last prompt does not linger (#2995, #2996).
• Before an agent injects a command into an interactive PTY, unfinished prompt-line input is discarded so the wrapper is not concatenated onto what you already typed (#2982 / #2962).
• Windows OpenSSH AI exec detects PowerShell / cmd instead of falling through to a bash wrapper (#2960).

🔦 Keyword highlight and search

• Existing highlighted rows are no longer repainted on ordinary Enter / output; quiet catch-up recolors offscreen first and refreshes the viewport once (#2951, #2994).
• Esc / close / clear no longer leaves yellow search cells behind, including WebGL atlas stains and decorations that revived after reset (#2986, #2981 / #2980).

📂 SFTP replace and reconnect

• Conflict Replace keeps the remote file so mode bits (e.g. +x) survive upload; a missing destination is treated as no-conflict instead of a hard lstat error (#2955, #2991).
• The SFTP side panel rebinds after SSH Start-over reconnect instead of holding a stale browse channel (#2958).

⌨️ Terminal, transfers, and connect UX

• Large ZMODEM rz uploads wait for a real transport drain, so Windows SSH no longer drops the session after a flood (#2968).
• Alternate-screen Shift+Enter sends Kitty CSI-u so Codex sees a real shift-enter; sudo autofill stays off on Shift+Enter broadcast targets (#2975).
• Connecting progress only moves forward — the bar no longer rewinds when hop / phase / TCP-dial state changes (#2989).
• Mounted-disk capacity scales into T / P units (136.37G/6.93T instead of 118736.4G) (#2949).

🗂️ Vault, settings, and system

• Scripts can target dynamic groups by path — hosts added later match automatically (#2897).
• Settings → System → Session Restore can open a local terminal on launch when nothing is restored (#2965).
• Closing auto-sync is no longer undone by a later version save rewriting stale autoSync: true (#2978 / #2976).
• System overview shows cumulative interface RX / TX traffic alongside live rates (#2953).

✨ Smaller polish

• macOS 16×16 / 32×32 icons lose the bright one-pixel frame (#2957).
• Settings system footer hints have room under cards (#2990).

Full Changelog: v1.1.79...v1.1.80

v1.1.79

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.79 tightens terminal keyword highlighting, hardens SFTP (sudo / virtual root), and fixes a cluster of SSH reconnect and AI provider-URL issues.

🔦 Keyword highlight

• Idle Enter no longer treats Ubuntu RTT onScroll (before buffer dims update) as a user scroll, so still-visible keyword matches do not flash (#2931, #2879).
• Prompt redraw after idle Enter mutes decoration dispose/apply for the Enter guard window, avoiding an xterm full-viewport repaint that made custom rules (e.g. ~ / #) flicker.
• End / jump-back-to-bottom during the Enter guard still scans immediately by tracking prior scrollback browsing; sustained command output lifts the mute early via write-burst detection.
• Earlier Enter-guard work for bottom-pinned echo deferral is included (#2880).

📂 SFTP: sudo, virtual root, and session reuse

• Sudo SFTP can reuse the existing SSH session (including MFA-aware paths) and aligns session-backed open with openSftp fallbacks (#2938, #2945).
• Virtual-root sessions, provisional root listing, and home-candidate recovery when realpath root is not listable (#2934, #2941).
• Side-panel auto-connect dedupe edge cases fixed.

🔌 SSH reconnect & terminal

• Parked reconnect no longer restores a stale CWD; Dropbear server-stats stay safe; connect scripts rerun cleanly on manual reconnect (#2917, #2932, #2928).
• Terminal font shortcuts / focus routing, command popups after vault hydration, docker/tmux popup timeout, and theme header button alignment (#2906, #2929, #2937).

🤖 AI providers

• Anthropic-compatible Base URL only gets /v1 appended when the URL is bare — custom paths are no longer double-prefixed (#2946 / #2944).
• host_open session lifecycle hardened.

📝 Notes & polish

• Notes tree width resize is driven from the DOM for smoother drag; narrow sidebar titles ellipsize correctly (#2909, #2908).
• Workspace host-drop focus targets, port-forward panel polish, macOS small app icon, and assorted system-manager mount filters.

Full Changelog: v1.1.78...v1.1.79

v1.1.77

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.77 is a productivity-and-stability release: multi-tab shell performance is reworked, System Manager grows Ports/Services panels, workspace AI chat survives merge/dissolve, Notes paste/rendering is much closer to GitHub README quality, and Linux deb/rpm/pacman packages finally get in-app auto-update.

⚡ Faster multi-tab shell

• Terminal hot props are isolated and Host-island mega-subscribers are removed so theme, CWD, title, and AI panel churn no longer re-render every pane (#2790, #2809).
• StrictMode double-fire cleanups and Notes page jank fixes keep edit mode responsive under heavy note lists (#2810).

🖥️ System Manager: Ports & Services

• New Ports and Services tabs (with capability gating) let you inspect listening ports and systemctl units without leaving the terminal side panel (#2817).
• Disk overview shows PVE CT ZFS/bind mounts; Ascend 910B NPU tables parse correctly on CANN 24.x hosts (#2837, #2812).

🤖 AI chat across workspace merge

• Merging, dissolving, or detaching panes keeps the active chat, side panel, and SFTP mounts instead of dropping into a blank draft (#2851 / #2855 family).
• Follow-up typing after merge no longer silently creates a New Chat; MCP permissions restore on startup; sidebar Catty no longer exposes host_open (#2876, #2861, #2859).
• Settings gain a one-click provider connection test (#2845).

📝 Notes: paste, images, and link chrome

• HTML clipboard paste goes through Turndown; long markdown, remote images, badge rows, centered blocks, and GitHub-like image scaling are preserved (#2868, #2869).
• MDX link preview toolbar stays anchored on the link instead of drifting into the notes tree (#2877).

📂 SFTP path UX and terminal handoff

• Path chrome gets its own toolbar row with tail-preferring breadcrumbs, pinned roots (including UNC), and a trailing overflow menu (#2857 family).
• Open current path in linked terminal jumps the paired shell to the folder you are browsing (#2825).
• Tree view search filtering and safer single-file overwrite / zmodem replace close real-world transfer gaps (#2829, #2863).

⌨️ Terminal autocomplete and history

• History recall, mid-line edits, search-highlight cleanup, CJK IME punctuation, pinyin snippet titles, dnf completion, and SSH echo/path lag handling keep suggestions local and fail-closed when needed (#2850, #2849, #2834, #2814, #2840, #2831).
• Session logs no longer record alternate-screen TUI paint (htop/vim) as terminal history (#2875).

⚙️ Settings, vault, scripts, and updates

• Settings global search with expandable jump suggestions (#2816).
• Port-forward runtime state is authoritative in the main process for consistent tray/restart behavior (#2819).
• Host context menu can copy hostname; Scripts toolbar adds expand/collapse-all and delete-selected (#2820, #2828).
• Linux deb/rpm/pacman packages enable in-app auto-update, with recovery when a previous install attempt failed.

✨ Smaller polish

• Closing a temporary session restores the previous tab; external-editor temp downloads no longer look empty; and assorted SFTP/SSH bastion and CI automation false-positive fixes.

v1.1.76

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.76 is a transfer- and ops-heavy release: SFTP bulk paths are fail-closed and concurrent end-to-end, the System panel gains GPU/NPU monitoring, vault credentials stop poisoning local/cloud state after decrypt failures, and terminal workspaces pick up disconnect/reconnect plus better long-session AI navigation.

🚀 SFTP throughput and reliability

• Bulk downloads no longer fall back to a slow serial stream path; concurrent pipelined transfers stay on the fast path (including sudo fan-out on a shared channel).
• Parallel directory discovery, folder pre-scan, and skip-unchanged make large folder uploads/downloads start sooner and transfer less redundant data.
• Folder drops update the scan UI immediately and avoid an expensive full-tree pre-scan before progress appears.
• Append-only / growing-file downloads, cancelable OPEN gates, write OPEN serialization, and safer conflict/resume handling harden real-world transfer edge cases.

🖥️ System panel: GPU / NPU

• The System side panel now shows GPU and NPU utilization so you can watch accelerator load alongside CPU, memory, and disk while connected.

🔐 Credentials safety

• If vault decryption fails, Netcatty no longer re-encrypts and overwrites good ciphertext—protecting both local storage and cloud sync from poison writes.

⌨️ Terminal sessions and workspaces

• Workspace split status bars gain disconnect / reconnect controls for the focused pane.
• Hibernate wake keeps the newest scrollback; host info bar shows the server name; clipboard image paste (remote, opt-in) and better mouse/keyboard passthrough for Kitty and mouse-tracking apps.
• Split-workspace tabs prefer a stable host name; session tabs and the quick switcher can open Edit Host.

🔌 Plugins, AI, and settings

• Plugin sync providers with encrypted sidecar sync; schema upgrades backfill bindings without wiping secrets/backups.
• Long AI chats get an in-chat jump list; Grok Build lands as a managed agent (ACP / streaming); Catty gains context controls and a clearer compact flow.
• OpenCode turns no longer die solely because a terminal tool failed; one-click clear-all for session logs.

🪟 Platform polish

• Windows: frameless window rounded corners and tray transparency restored; broken arm64 installers no longer ship from x64 CI; Explorer “Open in Netcatty” menu install/toggle is more robust.
• macOS: Local Network TCC / first-hop handling hardened for LAN SSH.

✨ Smaller polish

• SFTP CJK IME-safe filter input, external-edit temps surviving tab switches, snippets bulk delete, split terminal side panels, AI composer resize, sync theme rehydrate / groupConfig guards, and assorted SSH bastion rate-limit and automation reconnect fixes.

v1.1.75

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.75 focuses on making the desktop shell feel faster under multi-tab workloads, hardening SFTP transfer lifecycle, and expanding agent/plugin integration. Cursor-line highlighting, workspace clone/split with cwd inheritance, and several host-management UX improvements land alongside a large reliability pass.

⚡ Faster multi-tab shell

• TerminalLayer, top-tab switching, App shell domains, and AI side-panel UI are isolated so history, CWD, title, and theme churn no longer force full-pane re-renders.
• Hidden AI panels defer heavy UI while streaming, keeping the active terminal responsive.
• Host pickers and large vault lists are virtualized for big inventories.

🛡️ SFTP transfer reliability

• Pause, resume, and hard reconnect reuse the same transfer runtime with safer progress epochs and sparse-settle budgets.
• Upload content digests ignore ctime-only drift that previously false-flagged identical files.
• Large folder uploads, maximized editor save after reconnect, and POSIX double-slash paths are more predictable.

🖥️ Terminal session UX

• Optional cursor-line highlight keeps the active row readable without wiping keyword colors or selection (opt-in).
• Clone or split tabs inherit the current working directory; multi-pane workspaces can be copied with per-pane CWD.
• Host-tree toolbar is customizable; local-terminal and quick-connect icons are cleaner; Network Device Mode gets a session-header tip.
• Mosh/ET now enforce vault host-key verification; xterm WebGL atlas fixes come from upstream with a lower default scrollback.

🤖 Agents, plugins, and automation

• CodeBuddy integrates the full Tencent AI agent SDK surface (permissions, hooks, MCP, settings).
• Plugin connection, authentication, and importer providers land for host-owned auth challenges and safe vault imports.

v1.1.73

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.73 adds opt-in inline images and group-based automation targeting, then delivers a broad reliability pass for file transfers and long-running terminal sessions. SFTP and SCP transfers are safer across pause, resume, cancellation, reconnects, and tab changes, while full-screen terminal apps remain responsive when windows are hidden or under sustained output.

🖼️ Inline images in the terminal

• Preview images, charts, and rich terminal output directly over SSH with Kitty, SIXEL, and iTerm inline image support.
• Inline images are opt-in and disabled by default. New settings provide size, memory, and cache safeguards for long-running sessions.
• Images remain available within the current session when the terminal is temporarily hidden.

🎯 Select automation targets by vault group

• Automation scripts can now add or remove every host in a vault group at once, including hosts inside nested groups.
• The selected hosts are saved with the script, so later vault changes cannot silently redirect an existing automation run.

🛡️ Safer, more predictable SFTP and SCP transfers

• Downloads, uploads, resumable transfers, and server-to-server copies now share the same safety checks, protecting files that change while a transfer is running.
• Pause and resume are faster and clearer, with durable progress tracking and stronger checks that the source is still the same file.
• Upload throughput is restored, browsing remains available when switching top-level tabs, and clipboard or folder uploads stay attached to the host where they started.
• Transfer cancellation once again targets the intended task, and interrupted replacements restore the previous destination when possible.

🖥️ More stable terminal sessions

• Full-screen tools such as Herdr no longer freeze during sustained output, and hidden or covered terminal windows continue making bounded progress.
• Windows terminal clearing now works consistently, and Mosh sessions advertise 256-color support correctly.

☁️ Smaller reliability improvements

• Cloud sync can keep local data and overwrite the cloud copy after a reinstall or master-password change without requiring the old cloud password.
• Known-host scans and imports filter public service entries from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps.
• Cursor CLI keeps authentication and permission modes isolated between sessions and switches modes more reliably.

Full Changelog: v1.1.72...v1.1.73

v1.1.72

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.72 is a focused follow-up to the v1.1.71 transfer-center release. The headline is restoring SFTP upload/download throughput on the default resumable path, so large transfers on high-latency links no longer crawl as sequential 32 KB requests. Alongside that: keychain layout polish, more reliable AI terminal command completion when output has no trailing newline, and a stronger Cursor CLI issue/PR automation loop in CI.

⚡ SFTP transfer throughput restored

v1.1.71 made normal SFTP transfers resumable by default, but that path accidentally bypassed the parallel read/write window. On high-latency connections a single file could fall back to sequential small requests and look much slower than before.

In v1.1.72:

• Default resumable uploads and downloads again use parallel request windows, recovering previous throughput characteristics.
• Pause checkpoints wait for in-flight ranges before reporting pause, so resume integrity stays intact.
• Compatibility stream fallbacks remain available when a dedicated SFTP channel cannot be opened.

If transfers felt slower right after updating to 1.1.71, this build is the fix (see #2424 / #2429).

🔑 Keychain layout polish

Vault keychain UI is easier to scan and more consistent:

• Identity/layout discoverability improvements for credentials (#2421 / #2426).
• The header New Key action matches Import Certificate and New Identity as a secondary control, so the three header actions read as peers instead of one primary accent button (#2435).

🤖 AI terminal tools: complete without a trailing newline

Agent-driven terminal execution no longer hangs when command output ends without a final newline (for example curl ... | head -c 200). Completion markers can sit immediately after the last output byte; Netcatty still detects finish, preserves the final bytes for foreground and background jobs, and returns promptly instead of waiting until timeout (#2431 / #2437).

🛠️ CI automation (internal)

Issue/PR automation now uses a Cursor CLI implement path with a Codex review loop, safer sandbox defaults on GitHub Actions, code-first triage that must open real paths before classifying, and the ability to open draft PRs with the triage token. These changes mainly improve how fixes land in the repo; they do not change day-to-day app UI.

Full Changelog: v1.1.71...v1.1.72

v1.1.71

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.71 is a large transfer-and-platform release. The headline is a global SFTP transfer center modeled after dedicated multi-connection clients: transfers keep running when you close a panel, can pause and resume across reconnects, and show up from a single top-bar control. Alongside that, the plugin host grows real permission, UI, and terminal-provider surfaces; terminals pick up Kitty keyboard completion, smarter exit behavior, and TUI redraw fixes; and AI agents gain Cursor subscription login plus silent MCP sessions.

📦 Global SFTP transfer center

SFTP transfers no longer live only inside the side panel you opened. A new global transfer center in the top bar lists active, queued, completed, and failed work across hosts, with badges for count and attention states.

Under the hood this is a full transfer lifecycle redesign, not a cosmetic queue:

• Dedicated transfer connections with a connection pool, so browsing and bulk transfer do not starve each other the way a single shared session often does.
• Pause / resume / prioritize / cancel for top-level jobs, including directory trees, with checkpoints retained so large downloads and uploads can continue after interrupt, app restart, or temporary network loss.
• Conflict handling (skip / replace / stop) that stays consistent when you resolve in the same moment a job is pausing or canceling, including batch “Stop” that cancels the remaining unfinished set cleanly.
• Directory jobs that rehome child tasks correctly, keep cancelled children out of the failed bucket, and avoid poisoned cancel latches when you resume.
• Open-folder / open-file UX and controls refined so you can jump from a finished row back to the right place without hunting through panels.

Closing an SFTP panel no longer means losing track of in-flight work: transfers stay visible and controllable from the global center until you dismiss them.

🧩 Plugin platform: permissions, UI, and terminals

The plugin foundation from recent builds expands into surfaces plugins can actually use:

• A permission and security boundary with capability authorization, safer activation, companion trust checks, and session-grant revocation when a worker exits.
• Native UI contributions so plugins can present views and lifecycle-owned UI without fighting the host’s tab and context refresh rules.
• A terminal provider API for ordinary providers: host state, transport identity, command completion, and lifecycle hardening so providers do not leak listeners, double-submit, or return stale results.
• A reviewed privileged terminal data pipeline for the cases that need deeper terminal I/O under explicit policy.

Plugin work remains gated for development where appropriate, but the contracts are substantially closer to something installable and reviewable.

⌨️ Terminal: Kitty keyboard, exit policy, and TUI stability

Terminal sessions behave more predictably for modern TUIs and long-lived tabs:

• Kitty keyboard protocol support is completed and key-release handling is preserved for broadcast paths, so tools that rely on rich key reporting work more reliably.
• New exit auto-close setting, plus fixes so non-zero shell exits no longer drop tabs unexpectedly—you choose when a session should disappear.
• Claude Code / Codex-style DEC 2026 full redraws no longer stack ghost frames (#2291); delayed full clears keep the right context.
• Ctrl+C with scroll-on-input scrolls to the bottom again so interrupt feedback is visible; hidden log output is batched to cut unnecessary work.
• Session startup commands run after restore, and search highlights clear when the search field is emptied.

🤖 AI agents: Cursor login and silent MCP sessions

• Cursor CLI login is supported so subscription quota can be used without forcing only API-key mode.
• MCP silent sessions can run without hijacking your visible tab set; when you need to inspect them, they open in an attach terminal popup instead of stealing focus from the workspace.
• External MCP settings layout and a top-bar External MCP quick toggle make turning agent integration on and off faster during daily use.

📁 SFTP reliability beyond the transfer center

Even outside the new center, everyday SFTP is sturdier:

• Opening SFTP can reuse the already-authenticated terminal SSH session.
• High-latency download throughput is restored, with safer bounds and concurrent progress preservation.
• SFTP follows the terminal cwd more correctly on macOS/BSD remotes and on first open; copied tabs keep distinct cwd state.
• Recursive directory deletion is more reliable; active transfers remain reachable after the panel is closed.

🧭 Hosts, vault, and top-bar controls

Day-to-day host management is smoother: add and edit hosts from the terminal host list, improved keychain identity layout, CSV import/export of key authentication, FreeBSD host icons, and a dedicated top-bar quick controls panel for theme, opacity, and related toggles. Windows gains a portable data directory option. SSH MFA prefers keyboard-interactive when appropriate (including jump hosts), and port forwarding recovers OTP auth routing plus auto-start after network recovery.

Also in this release: Russian UI localization completion, host picker keyboard navigation, host-details resize and row-height polish, tray session close buttons, and assorted lint/UI color consistency fixes for the new transfer and quick-control controls.

v1.1.70

✨ Release Highlights

Netcatty v1.1.70 focuses on smoother terminal interaction, clearer system information, and faster everyday file workflows. It also strengthens the plugin foundation for future extensions.

⚡ Smooth typing after large terminal output

Typing no longer triggers unnecessary full-screen redraws when the terminal is already at the bottom. Large-output sessions remain responsive, while typing still returns you to the latest output when you are viewing earlier history.

💽 Correct disk totals on multi-disk hosts

The compact terminal status now totals all mounted disks instead of showing only the first filesystem. The expanded view still shows each mounted disk separately.

📂 Faster SFTP navigation

SFTP adds an optional “Folders first” mode, keeps sorting consistent across files and folders, and supports incremental keyboard selection in both list and tree views.

📝 Manual logs follow your selected format

Toolbar-started session logs now respect the configured text, raw, or HTML format and use the matching file extension, even when automatic logging is disabled.

🧩 A stronger plugin foundation

The plugin platform gains durable package storage and isolated browser and utility runtimes behind the development gate, providing safer lifecycle and recovery boundaries for upcoming plugin features.
