Release v0.12.4

• performance improvements.

Release v0.12.2

• adds Windows 10 and Windows 11 support for AMD-based machines.
• adds automatic sudo privileges escalation on Unix. No need to use sudo to install or launch the extension anymore.
• extension now fallbacks to start command if no command was specified, effectively making it the default command.
• makes DNS queries resolution process asynchronous so that DNS queries are not blocking other traffic.
• improve network traffic GUI panel rendering accuracy and performance.

Release v0.8.3

• add --codespace(-c) CLI argument to specify a Codespace name to connect to. More info: #30
• add --trace-dest CLI argument to specify trace file path. More info: #35
• fix IP routing issue for PTP network interfaces that are configured to be a default gateway on local machine. More info: #33
• improved start command panic handling.
• bug fixes for app diagnostics logic.

Release v0.6.4

• increase number of tasks in worker thread pool to 12. This fixes app freezes issue for low-end machines with few number of CPU cores and allowes for 11 active network interfaces on the host(local) machine. More info: #7
• fix bad TCP socket state error for TCP NATs on Linux host(local) machines. More info: #8
• improve error handling and visibility
• add --telemetry CLI option to enable/disable telemetry requests for app troubleshooting purposes. It has values of true/false, default is true.
• fix infinite loop for DNS resolution of AAAA records if host does not support IPv4-mapped IPv6 DNS records. More info: #18
• fix issue that caused TCP/UDP NAT records to be disposed prematurely. More info: #17
• release extension for ARM64, ARMv6 and ARMv6 architectures for Linux machines.

Release v0.4.0

• add SRV DNS records support which is commonly used by Linux package managers (e.g. apt or apt-get).
• DNS resolution now also relies on the getaddrinfo system call to support some of the VPN client setups(e.g. Viscosity, Tailscale). More info: #4
• improve the speed of DNS resolution for A/AAAA DNS record types. Now resolution takes single-digit milliseconds as opposed to seconds as before.
• GUI changes:
  • entire GUI now expands to 100% of width by default to accommodate longer DNS hostnames.
  • DNS panel now includes the negative responses like NXDOMAIN, NODATA, or SERVFAIL.
  • improved DNS panel layout . Text items now fill out the entire panel width and have guiding lines for readability.
  • NAT panel now includes connection types, like TCP, UDP, or others.
  • improved NAT panel layout. Text items now fill out the entire panel width and have guiding lines for readability.
  • each connection in the NAT panel now includes used ago metric in seconds for incoming and outgoing network traffic.
• start command changes:
  • add --dns option which allows to enable/disable DNS resolution. It has values of true/false, default is true.
  • rename --trace-level option to --trace to be more consistent with other options. The --trace-level option is still supported as an alias for the new name but removed from docs and will be entirely removed in upcoming releases.
  • --trace option now gets propagated to the gh net extension inside a Codespace for tracing level parity.
  • add hidden --repo option, which controls what repo is used when the gh net extension is auto-installed inside a Codespace during the initial connection. This command is meant to be used for testing/debugging purposes; hence is hidden.
  • improve logic to auto-update gh net extension on the remote side (inside a Codespace). This logic ensures that the remote extension is always up to date.
  • add GitHub CLI update notice if CLI is < v2.8.0 instead of failing with a generic error.
  • provide clear error messages for other expected error cases.

Release v0.3.2

• 🐛 fix automatic gh net installation for root vs non-root users on Linux / cli/cli#5456
• ✨ ask users to install GitHub CLI if it is not installed inside a remote machine
• ✨ pipe through stderr from the remote machine so it is immediately clear what have happen inside a Codespace
• 🔨 both "local" and "remote" --location options now show "please use sudo" message if user is not root
• 🔨 start command now defaults to "local" if no --location option specified, the "auto" option is removed
