ts-ssh v0.5.0 Release Notes

🎉 Major User Experience Improvements

✨ Clean SSH Connection Experience

Problem Solved: Eliminated verbose, distracting tsnet logging that cluttered SSH connections

  • ❌ Before: 2025/06/30 20:19:36 tsnet running state path /home/derek/.config/ts-ssh/tailscaled.state
  • ❌ Before: 2025/06/30 20:25:11 AuthLoop: state is Running; done
  • ✅ After: Clean, professional connection output

🛠️ Technical Fixes

  • Suppress verbose tsnet logging: All internal library noise eliminated in normal operation
