Aether Control v1.1.0

📦 Release Notes – v1.1.0

🔧 Fixed

• Permission errors on Linux – the aether binary now always runs with a user‑writable working directory (~/.config/<app>/aether), avoiding Permission denied when writing logs or state files even if the binary is placed in a system folder.

• Binary discovery – the app now searches for the aether executable in three locations (and their aether/ subfolders):

  1. Executable directory (where the app itself lives)
  2. Current working directory
  3. App’s data directory (e.g., ~/.config/aether-desktop)

• Executable permissions – on Unix systems, the app will automatically try to add execute bits (chmod +x) to the binary if missing, with a clear error message if that fails.

🛠️ Technical

• Switched to Tauri 2’s path().app_data_dir() via the Manager trait.
• Unified search logic between check_installed and connect for consistency.
• No more lifetime errors or macro expansion issues after project directory change.

📥 Installation

Place the aether binary in any of the searched locations – the app will find it and run it from there, while all runtime files go to the safe data directory.

Aether Control v1.0.0

Aether Control is a visual, beginner‑friendly desktop frontend for the Aether network tunneling tool. It replaces the command‑line interface with a clean, modern GUI – allowing you to connect, disconnect, and monitor your Aether tunnel with a single click. This release is fully bilingual (English / Farsi), supports dark and light themes, and includes a built‑in V2Ray configuration guide.

Key features: one‑click connect/disconnect, real‑time connection and installation status, a live output log, and configurable options for protocol (Masque/WireGuard/Warp‑in‑Warp), HTTP version, scan speed, and reconnect behaviour. When connected, the app displays your SOCKS5 proxy address and a ready‑to‑use config.json for V2Ray.

Credits: all the heavy lifting is done by the fantastic Aether project (created and maintained by CluvexStudio). This frontend is an independent companion app that makes Aether more accessible to everyone.

Important: you must download the Aether binary for your OS from the Aether releases page and place the entire aether folder (containing the binary) in the same directory as this app. The app will automatically detect it.
