v1.2.0 - Pool Info, Maintenance & UI Improvements

What's New in v1.2.0

This release adds powerful pool inspection and maintenance tools, along with significant UI improvements.

New Features

Show zpool info

View comprehensive information about any ZFS pool:

• Pool structure and device layout
• Health status and error counts
• Usage statistics (size, allocated, free, fragmentation)
• All datasets with mountpoints
• All snapshots with creation dates

Pool Maintenance

Monitor and control pool scrub operations:

• Start scrub (s) - Begin data integrity verification
• Stop scrub (x) - Cancel an in-progress scrub
• Refresh (r) - Update the status display
• Real-time progress monitoring

Scrollable Result Reports

Long backup completion reports now display in a scrollable viewport, keeping the header and footer visible at all times.

Improvements

• Auto-import pools: Unimported pools are automatically imported when accessed
• Encryption handling: Encrypted pools properly prompt for password when needed
• Cleaner UI: Removed emojis throughout for better terminal compatibility
• Consistent navigation: All info screens use scrollable viewports with the same keybindings
