GoVPN v1.0.7

Terminal-style UI overhaul, v1.0.7

Full redesign around a developer-native terminal aesthetic: Tokyo Night
palette, JetBrains Mono, command-style connect/disconnect buttons,
OpenVPN-phase boot sequence, keyboard shortcuts (1-4/c/d), vim-style
statusline, timestamped log. Removes the Network Path map and all emoji.

Also strips VS Code snap env vars in the integrated terminal so wails
dev stops crashing on snap glibc.

🎉 What's New in This Release
✨ Brand New Interface

4-Tab Layout: Completely restructured the app into four distinct, easy-to-navigate tabs: Profiles, Connection, Audit, and Settings.

Smart Navigation: The Connection tab now automatically opens when a connection is initiated, giving you immediate access to your VPN info panel and live logs.

Better Breathing Room: Widened the app window to 600px for a cleaner, more spacious layout across all screens.

Context-Aware Controls: The Connect button and Speed Test are now smartly hidden when viewing the Audit or Settings tabs to keep the interface clutter-free.

Local IP Banner: Added a new banner in the Profiles tab that displays your current local network IP at a glance.

🚀 Automation & Settings

Persistent Preferences: Introduced a dedicated Settings tab with an auto-connect toggle and profile selector. Your choices are now safely saved between sessions.

Launch & Go: Enabled Auto-connect on launch. The app will automatically connect to your preferred profile after a brief 1.5-second startup delay.

📊 Enhanced Speed Testing

Direct Comparisons: Moved the Speed Test to the Profiles tab and added a "Before vs. After" comparison feature.

Accurate State Tracking: Speed test results are now accurately labeled based on your actual VPN state at the exact moment the test was run, rather than when the results finish downloading.

🛠️ Under-the-Hood Stability & Fixes

Smart Authentication: The app now correctly detects invalid credentials (AUTH_FAILED) and will safely cancel the auto-reconnect loop instead of getting stuck.

Stale Connection Recovery: Automatically forces a clean disconnect and retry if an "already connected" ghost error occurs.

Bulletproof Buttons: Disabled the Connect button immediately upon click until the previous session is fully disconnected, preventing accidental double-connect bugs.

Clean Cancellations: Fixed an issue where clicking Disconnect during a reconnect-wait period would throw an error; it now cancels the loop smoothly.

To install or update:
Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo dpkg -i govpn_*_amd64.deb
