4.8.0

✨ What's New ✨

Interface

• Reload with Ctrl+R - sshs reads the configuration files again and updates the host list. A restart is not necessary.
• Pick your palette with --color - the value is a Tailwind palette name, for example blue, green, or rose.
• Keep your order with --no-sort - sshs shows the hosts in configuration file order.
• Sort by match score with --sort-fancy - the best fuzzy match comes first (#140).
• Select text in your terminal - sshs does not capture the mouse any more.
• See the real destination - sshs expands the %h and %n tokens in the destination column.

Search

• Each word must match - sshs divides the query at spaces. A host appears only when all the words match.
• Wider match scope - the fuzzy score includes the name, the aliases, and the destination.
• Stable selection - when the query changes, the selection returns to the top match.

SSH configuration parser

• Quoted values keep their # characters, and sshs removes the surrounding quotes.
• Match block entries do not leak into the previous host.
• Relative Include paths in the system file resolve against /etc/ssh.
• Include recursion stops at a safe depth and does not overflow the stack.
• Alias merging is blocked only when HostName depends on %h or %n (#153).
• Parser errors show the offending line. A missing configuration file gives a clear error.
• A Host entry with no patterns does not cause a crash.

Stability

• No crash on End or PageDown when the host list is empty.
• Page navigation moves by the visible table height.
• Table columns use their computed widths.
• When an SSH session exits with an error, sshs returns to the host list.

Packaging and documentation

• New installation instructions for Debian and Ubuntu.
• New installation method for NetBSD (#142).
