IPKeep v1.0.0-preview.4 — unsigned preview

This is IPKeep for Windows 1.0.0 Preview 4, an unsigned beta with automatic light/dark appearance and clearer hostname selection.

• Follows Windows app light or dark mode on launch and while the window stays open. If the Windows preference is unavailable, IPKeep uses light mode.
• Dark surfaces, readable text and controls, matching navigation and title bar, and the reversed IPKeep logo. High contrast uses Windows system colors.
• Activity rows highlight across their width when hovered, while retaining compact local timestamps, wrapping, filtering, and selectable text.
• Fixes faint hostname checkboxes: selected hosts have a blue fill and contrasting checkmark; unchecked boxes have a visible outline. Supports up to five hostnames as before.

Download IPKeep-1.0.0-preview.4-windows-x64-unsigned-setup.exe and verify it against SHA256SUMS.txt. Run setup, approve Windows administrator access, and open IPKeep from the Start menu. Preview 3 can notify you about this release under App updates; earlier versions need a manual download. This unsigned beta may trigger an unknown publisher or SmartScreen warning. Windows 10 version 2004 or later / Windows 11, x64, is required. The installer bundles the desktop, service, and runtimes.

Setup preserves settings, encrypted tokens, and logs. It stops an existing service before replacing its active files, resumes a previously running service, and preserves paused/disabled states. Uninstall through Windows Installed apps to remove the service and application while retaining local data. Downloads and installation remain manual; code signing is pending.

The optional IPKeep-1.0.0-preview.4-windows-x64-unsigned.zip contains the complete folder distribution. Keep its files together. Both distributions include documentation and source/version metadata in build-info.json.

The tagged source is built by GitHub Actions after 69 isolated tests and eight installer integration checks on a disposable Windows runner. Light/dark layouts, open-dropdown theme switching, blue hostname checkboxes, Activity row hover, and the unavailable-preference fallback were inspected in the native app using isolated fictional UI data. No installed service or saved connection was changed by those visual checks. Interactive Windows 10/11 and reboot testing still benefit from beta feedback.

Opening the desktop performs public IP discovery and anonymous release checks. DNS updates require your IPKeep account token, hostname selections, and Save and enable updates with administrator approval. Existing encrypted token restoration, provider selection, retry backoff, and app update notifications are retained.

IPKeep v1.0.0-preview.3 — unsigned preview

This is IPKeep for Windows 1.0.0 Preview 3, an unsigned beta with application update notifications. The desktop checks when it opens and every six hours while open.

A manual Check for updates button is also available. Preview builds check both preview and stable releases. Downloads and installation remain manual; signing is still pending.

Download IPKeep-1.0.0-preview.3-windows-x64-unsigned-setup.exe and verify it against SHA256SUMS.txt. Run setup, approve Windows administrator access, and open IPKeep from the Start menu.

Windows 10 version 2004 or later / Windows 11, x64, is required. The installer bundles the desktop, service, and runtimes. An IPKeep account and your own token are required to enable DNS updates; checking for app releases needs no token.

Setup preserves existing settings, encrypted tokens, and logs. Existing services are updated; paused/disabled services stay paused/disabled. Uninstall through Windows Installed apps to stop/remove the service and application while retaining local data for reinstallation. Installer integration tests run on a disposable Windows runner; interactive Windows 10/11 and reboot testing still need beta feedback.

The optional IPKeep-1.0.0-preview.3-windows-x64-unsigned.zip contains the complete folder distribution. Extract and keep the whole folder together. Both distributions include documentation and source commit metadata in build-info.json. Compiled app, metadata, and installer versions now consistently include the preview number.

The binaries are built from the tagged public source by GitHub Actions after the isolated tests pass. Opening the desktop performs public IP discovery and anonymous release checks. Choosing Save and enable updates with Windows administrator approval installs/enables the background service and begins authenticated DNS updates. Existing support for up to five hostnames, remembered tokens, provider selection, local-time activity, and retry backoff is retained.
