SSH Manager 2.1.2

Fixes New SSH Tab on systems without a separately installed VTE library by packaging valid private-runtime symlinks. Adds runtime integrity checks and visible tab-creation errors.

SSH Manager 2.1.1

Fixes New SSH Tab and New SFTP Tab so they save and validate the current server form before connecting.

SSH Manager 2.1.0

Adds a FileZilla-style SFTP transfer panel showing the active filename, current-file bytes, overall percentage, completed/total files, remaining bytes, speed, and ETA. Small-file batches now use up to four SFTP channels, skip the redundant post-upload stat round trip, use bounded download prefetching, and throttle UI updates. The main Refresh Both action reloads both the local and remote current folders. Includes the complete offline amd64 runtime.

SSH Manager 2.0.1

Fixes password-based SSH connections that ended with status 1280 / sshpass exit code 5 because the secure password pipe was not mapped to the child descriptor. The password remains out of process arguments and environment variables. Also decodes SSH process status into a clear authentication error. Includes the complete offline amd64 runtime; no dependency download is required on a compatible Debian/Ubuntu desktop.
