What's New in v1.1.0

Features

  • 170+ built-in servers — added 64 ISP DNS entries for DE/AT/CH/NL/FR/GB/US/CA/AU/JP/CN/RU/BR/IN
  • IPv6 testing fixed — AF selector now correctly routes traffic through IPv6 addresses
  • History comparison — Score column shows ↑/↓ arrows vs previous run
  • Region auto-select — ⚡ Region button selects servers from your locale country
  • Group checkboxes — Click a group header checkbox to select/deselect all in that group
  • Settings persistence — Window size, theme, language, font, column widths saved to ~/.config/natbench/settings.json
  • Traceroute hostnames — PTR lookup enabled (removed -n flag)
  • Row separators — Alternating even/odd row backgrounds for readability
  • Font-adaptive rows — Row height updates immediately when font size changes
  • 27 languages — Language switch now applies to menus and buttons correctly

Bug Fixes

  • CLI showed hardcoded v1.0.0 — now reads from __version__.py
  • Server selection: servers in multiple groups shared incorrect BooleanVar → unchecking had no effect
  • IPv6 result showed IPv4 address — core.py now uses the "ip" key set by the AF selector
  • Left panel too narrow on startup — default sash position set to 260px
  • Language switching incomplete — all menu entries now updated independently

NatBench v1.0.1

Changes

  • Fixed --servers flag: now accepts space-separated server names (e.g. natbench --servers cloudflare google quad9)
  • Server name matching: resolves names like cloudflare, quad9, dns.wonx.eu against the built-in database
  • Added --gui flag to the CLI (natbench --gui launches the Tkinter interface)
  • tkinter missing: now shows a clear, distro-specific install message
  • Multi-platform CI: Linux x86_64 + Windows x86_64 built automatically
  • Removed personal email; use GitHub noreply in package metadata
  • Banner updated: 27 languages, 72+ servers, correct scoring weights
