Termimus v0.6.2

v0.6.2

🐛 Fixes

• CustomSelect dropdown overlap/clipping — Dropdown popover was rendered inline (position: absolute) relative to its trigger, so inside scrollable containers (e.g. the "Assign Hosts to Panes" list in the New Workspace Preset modal) it got clipped and overlapped neighboring rows. The popover now renders through a React Portal into document.body with position: fixed, computed from the trigger's bounding rect, with automatic flip-up when there isn't enough room below and live repositioning on scroll/resize. Fixes it across every CustomSelect usage app-wide (Host Modal, Tunnel Modal, SFTP, Settings, Workspace Modal).
• Server URL input swallowing // — The Sync settings "Server URL" field stripped trailing slashes on every keystroke, which made it impossible to type http:// or https:// since the second / was immediately stripped back off. Trailing-slash cleanup is now deferred to blur / network-call time instead of running on every character typed.

🧹 Internal

• Removed unnecessary max-h-56 overflow-y-auto clipping wrapper on the Workspace Preset host-assignment list (no longer needed now dropdowns portal to body).
• Bumped version to v0.6.2 across package.json, src-tauri/tauri.conf.json, src-tauri/Cargo.toml, src/stores/useUpdateStore.ts, README.md, and server/internal/handlers/handlers.go.

Termimus v0.6.1

Termimus v0.6.1 — Hotfix: Native Rust Sync Engine & Status Polish ⚡

A critical stability and UX patch addressing self-hosted sync relay communication over local HTTP networks on Linux desktop platforms, along with enhanced connection status reporting.

---

🐛 Bug Fixes & Improvements

🌐 Native Rust HTTP Sync Engine (Fix TypeError: Load failed)

• WebKitGTK Active Mixed-Content Bypass: In previous versions, self-hosted relay requests (Push, Pull, Test Connection, Device List) were executed through the browser's window.fetch(). On Linux desktop builds running under the secure tauri://localhost origin, WebKitGTK actively blocked POST requests containing encrypted payloads to plaintext HTTP endpoints (such as local homelab LAN IPs http://10.x.x.x or http://192.168.x.x), surfacing as an unhelpful TypeError: Load failed error.
• Direct OS-Level Network Routing: All relay network communication is now routed through a high-performance native Rust HTTP client powered by reqwest. This eliminates browser-engine sandbox restrictions, mixed-content blocking, and CORS preflight overhead completely.
• Files: src-tauri/src/commands/mod.rs, src-tauri/Cargo.toml, src/lib/api.ts, src/stores/useSyncStore.ts

🎨 Sync Relay Status & Banner UX Polish

• Resolved False-Positive NOT CONFIGURED Badge: The sync status badge in the header card no longer erroneously shows NOT CONFIGURED when server credentials are fully populated.
• New Adaptive Connection States:
  • NOT CONFIGURED — Displayed only when the Server URL or E2EE Passphrase is empty.
  • READY — Displayed when configuration is complete but awaiting synchronization.
  • SYNCING... — Animated primary badge during active upload/download bursts.
  • CONNECTED — Active green pulse indicator confirming reachable relay status.
  • CONNECTION ERROR — Clear danger badge if the target endpoint is offline or unauthorized.
• Silent Background Auto-Check: Opening the Self-Hosted Sync tab now triggers a silent background health verification so the status indicator seamlessly illuminates to CONNECTED without requiring manual "Test Connection" clicks.
• Files: src/components/sync/SyncSection.tsx

Termimus v0.5.1

🚀 Termimus v0.5.1 — Major Infrastructure & Terminal Experience Overhaul

The v0.5.1 release brings a significant milestone update packed with advanced infrastructure capabilities (SSH ProxyJump / Bastion Host), interactive terminal productivity tools (Terminal Search Ctrl+F), a complete overhaul of the tab bar and dropdown UI, and major network efficiency optimizations.

---

✨ What's New in v0.5.1?

🛡️ 1. SSH ProxyJump (Bastion / Jump Host) — 9827eb0

• Private Subnet Connectivity: Connect directly to hosts located inside private VPCs or internal homelab networks via an intermediate Bastion / Jump Host.
• Double TOFU Verification: Full Trust-On-First-Use host key verification and authentication are enforced independently on both the Jump Host and the Target Host.
• Native Stream Multiplexing: Channels TCP traffic seamlessly using channel_open_direct_tcpip over the Bastion connection without requiring external binaries or local port bindings.
• Visual Indicator: Hosts routed through a bastion display a subtle via jump badge in both Grid and List views.

🔍 2. Interactive Terminal Search (Ctrl+F / Cmd+F) — d780981

• Instant Terminal Buffer Search: Press Ctrl+F (Linux / Windows) or Cmd+F (macOS), or right-click the terminal and select "Find in Terminal".
• Floating Search Bar: A sleek, non-intrusive floating search panel with autofocus, live match counter (e.g. 2 of 14), and keyboard shortcuts:
  • Enter: Jump to next match.
  • Shift + Enter: Jump to previous match.
  • Escape: Close search bar and refocus interactive terminal.
• Advanced Search Options: Toggle Case Sensitive (Aa), Whole Word (\b), and Regular Expressions (.*).

📑 3. Redesigned Tab Bar & Middle-Click to Close — 23e3c29

• Crisp Tab Boundaries: Active tabs now feature solid contrast background styling, subtle borders, soft shadows, and clean readable typography.
• Hover State Feedback: Inactive tabs provide gentle hover outlines so you can easily distinguish and click them.
• Comfortable Close (✕) Button: Always accessible on the active tab with soft opacity, appears on hover for inactive tabs, with a dedicated hit target (18×18px).
• Middle-Click to Close: Click with the mouse wheel anywhere on a tab to close it immediately (just like Chrome / VS Code).

📋 4. Compact List View & Grid Toggle — 7c18010

• Flexible View Modes: Seamlessly switch between Grid Cards and Compact List View directly from the top search bar.
• Columnar Layout: Clean, structured table rows (OS Icon, Name, Address:Port, User, Tags, Actions) with individual card spacing (gap-1.5) designed for managing dozens to hundreds of servers without excessive scrolling.
• View preference is automatically remembered in localStorage.

🐧 5. Auto-Detect Linux Distro + Simple Icons Brand Vectors — 0750af6

• Automatic OS Detection: Inspects /etc/os-release during your first SSH connection to map server distros automatically without interrupting interactive shell sessions.
• Official Brand Vectors: Integrated simple-icons (v16.33) for official SVG logos and authentic brand colors (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch Linux, Alpine, Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, openSUSE, Kali Linux, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, NixOS, and more).

⚡ 6. Throttled Background Ping & Minimalist Status Micro-Dot — 7c18010

• Network-Friendly Concurrency Pool: TCP pings are throttled via a Rust tokio::sync::Semaphore capped at 8 concurrent sockets to prevent router congestion, socket exhaustion, and firewall rate-limiting on large host inventories.
• Battery-Saving (Visibility-Aware): Background pings automatically pause when Termimus is minimized or in the background and resume instantly when focused.
• Micro-Dot Status: Minimalist solid status dots (🟢 <80ms, 🟡 80–200ms, 🔴 >200ms / offline) positioned cleanly in the upper-left corner inside the distro icon with hover latency tooltips.

🛠️ 7. Other Productivity Enhancements

• Duplicate / Clone Host (7c18010): Duplicate any host configuration with 1 click from the 3-dots menu or right-click context menu (pre-fills with [Copy]).
• Split Pane Context Shortcuts (7c18010): Right-click any host to open it directly in Split Right or Split Down.
• Themed CustomSelect (9827eb0): Replaced all native browser/GTK select dropdowns with a custom dark-themed dropdown component matching the Terminal Obsidian palette.
• Repositioned Copy Toast (d780981): Moved clipboard toast notifications to the bottom-right corner to prevent visual overlap with the terminal search bar.

Release v0.4.7 — Terminal Typing Latency Optimizations & TCP_NODELAY

This release focuses on terminal responsiveness and keystroke latency, eliminating network TCP buffering delays and streamlining the I/O pipeline between xterm.js and the Rust backend.

---

⚡ Performance Improvements

• TCP_NODELAY (Disabled Nagle's Algorithm):

  • Explicitly invokes set_nodelay(true) on client TCP sockets before initiating the SSH handshake via connect_stream.
  • Eliminates the 40ms to 200ms per-character latency penalty previously caused by Nagle's algorithm buffering tiny keystroke packets while waiting for remote TCP Delayed ACKs.
  • Uniformly applied across Terminal SSH, SFTP, and SSH Port Forwarding Tunnels.

• Adaptive Zero-Delay Output Coalescing:

  • Re-architected the Rust PTY output streaming loop with an adaptive flush mechanism:
    • Interactive / Idle Stream: Keystroke echoes and prompt responses are emitted to the frontend immediately (0ms artificial delay), delivering an instant, tactile typing experience.
    • High-Throughput Bursts (cat, htop, build logs): Output arriving during active bursts is automatically coalesced into ~8ms / 64KB batches to safeguard Tauri's IPC event bridge against saturation.

• Non-blocking Concurrent Writes (RwLock):

  • Migrated SessionManager.sessions from tokio::sync::Mutex to tokio::sync::RwLock.
  • Keystroke writes (write) and terminal geometry adjustments (resize) now acquire concurrent read-locks without blocking each other or locking against active connections.

• Frontend Garbage Collection Optimization:

  • Converted TextEncoder instances in XtermView.tsx and useSessionStore.ts into module-level singletons, preventing object reallocation and GC spikes during rapid typing sessions.

Termimus v0.4.6

Release v0.4.6 — Atomic Session Split & Workspace Tab Naming

🚀 Improvements

• Workspace Tab Naming: Opening a terminal cluster from a Workspace Preset now automatically sets the header tab label to the Workspace Name (e.g., Production Cluster, Web + DB) instead of falling back to the first host's label.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fix Split Button in Multi-Session Split Mode:
  • Resolved an issue where launching a new session from the split button (next to SYNC) in an existing multi-pane split layout resulted in an empty connection log (No logs yet...) and stuck socket connection screen.
  • Introduced openSessionInSplit in useSessionStore: atomically creates the new SSH session and performs the layout tree split in a single state transaction, preventing the intermediate dock-render cycle that was resetting the XtermView component state.
• Connection Log Persistence in Terminal Pool:
  • Handshake progress logs (connectionLogs, connectionStep, and connectionError) are now preserved inside terminalPool.
  • Splitting, resizing, or remounting panes while an SSH connection is actively negotiating will no longer drop connection events or clear the log output.
• Context Menu & Header Split Alignment:
  • Updated terminal right-click context menu split actions (handleSplitRight / handleSplitDown) and Header tab context menu split actions to use the atomic openSessionInSplit workflow.

🚀 What's New & Fixed

📋 Native Clipboard & External Paste Fix

• Explicit Tauri Capability Permissions — Replaced the empty upstream
  clipboard-manager:default capability in src-tauri/capabilities/default.json with
  explicit clipboard-manager:allow-read-text and clipboard-manager:allow-write-text
  explicit clipboard-manager:allow-read-text and clipboard-manager:allow-write-text
  grants. In Tauri v2, the default permission set for the clipboard plugin is deliberately
  empty for security reasons, which previously caused clipboard API calls to be silently
  denied.
• Linux/WebKitGTK Inter-App Paste — Set @tauri-apps/plugin-clipboard-manager
  (readText & writeText) as the primary clipboard mechanism backed by Rust, with
  automatic fallback to browser navigator.clipboard. This overcomes WebKitGTK security
  restrictions that block reading system clipboard content originating from outside the
  application window.
• DOM Paste Event Capture — Updated the capture-phase paste event listener on the
  terminal DOM wrapper to reliably intercept paste actions, prevent browser event
  duplication, and seamlessly fall back to native IPC clipboard retrieval if
  e.clipboardData is empty during cross-app pastes.

🪟 Header & Tab Bar UI Refinements

• Responsive Tab Row — Replaced hardcoded width limits on the header tab bar with
  flex-1 min-w-0 shrink overflow-x-auto. The tab row now shrinks gracefully and scrolls
  horizontally when multiple workspaces are open, ensuring right-side controls (Snippets
  toggle, Sync status indicator, and window controls) are never clipped off-screen on
  smaller displays.
• Tab Visual Cleanup — Removed the active-tab bottom border indicator in favor of
  clean background surface contrast, aligning with the Terminal Obsidian design system.

Termimus v0.4.3

v0.4.3

This release focuses on fixing critical SSH connection reliability issues and adds community support options.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed the SSH connection progress overlay closing prematurely before the shell handshake actually completed, showing a blank terminal while still connecting.
• Fixed a race condition where SSH progress events (socket, host key, auth, shell) could be dropped if they arrived before the frontend finished registering its event listeners.
• Fixed terminal tabs getting stuck on a stale "Shell session ready" progress screen after pressing Ctrl+D or running exit on the remote server — the tab now closes automatically and returns to the Hosts view.
• Fixed the host list's tag filter row overflowing and clipping the "New Group" / "New Host" action buttons when the window was resized narrower.

✨ New Features

• Added an automatic update checker that polls GitHub Releases and shows an update badge in the sidebar, Settings tab, and About page when a newer version is available.
• Added Ko-fi donation support links in the sidebar footer, Settings → About page, and the README.

🎨 UI/UX Improvements

• Redesigned the connection progress overlay with a multi-stage animated loader (Socket → Host Key → Auth → Shell) showing live status per step.
• Added a "Connecting..." indicator directly on host cards while a session is being established.
• Clicking a host now switches to the Terminal view immediately instead of waiting for the session state to update.
• Replaced the sidebar footer's static encryption label with the current app version, which turns into a clickable update notice when a new release is available.
• Host list tag filters now scroll horizontally and reflow onto their own row on narrow windows instead of squeezing the action buttons.

📦 Other Changes

• Updated the application version to 0.4.3.
