v1.1.0
Pre-release
Packaging and Windows helper dry-run for v1.1.0. Not marked as Latest — v1.0.0 remains the recommended stable release until this is promoted.
Highlights
Desktop installers
Release assets now include native installers in addition to portable archives:
| Platform | Installer | Portable |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | NSIS (kubeloop-*-windows-*-installer.exe) |
.zip |
| macOS | .dmg (drag to Applications) |
.tar.gz |
| Linux | .deb / .rpm |
.tar.gz |
Artifact names include the version, for example:
kubeloop-1.1.0-windows-amd64-installer.exekubeloop-1.1.0-darwin-arm64.dmgkubeloop_1.1.0_amd64.deb/kubeloop-1.1.0-1.amd64.rpmkubeloop-gateway-1.1.0-linux-amd64
Linux packages install /usr/bin/kubeloop plus a desktop entry. Deb depends on GTK3 + WebKit2GTK 4.1; RPM targets Fedora-style gtk3 / webkit2gtk4.1.
Privileged helper (Windows focus)
- Elevated install / command handling for Windows (UAC / PowerShell paths)
- Stronger socket ACL / DACL checks in tests
- Helper lifecycle and session management refactors across platforms
- Optional protocol field on the helper model
Traffic / session datapath
- Traffic dialers integrated into session management
- SOCKS-based local traffic path for enhanced session handling
CI / quality
- Windows self-hosted E2E / integration workflow updates
- More reliable port-forward test logging
- Release pipeline builds NSIS, DMG, deb, and rpm on tag push
Install
- Download the asset for your OS/arch below (or from SHA256SUMS).
- macOS: open the DMG and drag

- Linux:
sudo dpkg -i kubeloop_1.1.0_*.deborsudo rpm -i kubeloop-1.1.0-1.*.rpm, or extract the tarball and runKubeLoop. - Connect with a normal kubeconfig; approve the privileged helper once on first use.

Notes for testers
Please verify:
- Installer installs and launches on a clean machine
- Uninstall / upgrade path (especially Windows NSIS and Linux packages)
- Helper elevation prompt appears once and reconnects without re-prompt
- Connect / TUN / DNS / port-forward still work after the helper refactor
