What's Changed

Added

  • United States - Dvorak RDP keyboard layout (PR #258) — adds KLID 0x00010409 (stock Windows Dvorak layout) to the RDP keyboard layout dropdown, contributed by @cocide.

Fixed

  • RDM JSON import rejected real-world Devolutions exports containing numeric fields (issue #234) — Devolutions Remote Desktop Manager serializes many fields inconsistently between data-source types: ConnectionType as an enum integer rather than a token string, port numbers as bare JSON integers, GUIDs that may be absent or null, and even PIN-style passwords as numbers. Prior versions added a custom deserializer for ConnectionType (post-0.19.2) and Port, but any other field arriving as an integer still triggered a fatal "invalid type: integer N, expected a string" and aborted the entire import. Every string field in the RDM parser — including Folders[].ID, folder/connection ParentID, Host, Username, Domain, Description, Group, CredentialConnectionID, PrivateKeyPath and both Password fields — now uses tolerant deserialization that coerces scalars (numbers, booleans) to strings and maps nulls to None. Missing folder IDs no longer collide in the folder map. Three additional ConnectionType numbers are recognized (28 = FTP, 38 = SCP, 100 = SFTP) so those entries are reported as "unsupported" with their name rather than crashing the parse.

  • Embedded RDP drive redirection paths could escape the configured share — RDPDR requests supplied by the remote server were converted by replacing backslashes and joining the result to the share root, so .., an absolute path, or an existing symlink component could reach files outside the exported directory during create, write, rename, or delete operations. The resolver now validates every path component against a canonical share root, rejects traversal, roots, prefixes, and symlink components with ACCESS_DENIED, and applies the same containment check to rename destinations.

  • Embedded RDP directory queries ignored the requested path and information class — directory enumeration always returned the same directory and FileBothDirectoryInformation, which broke exact lookups and clients requesting another supported result layout. Queries now honor the requested directory and case-insensitive */? pattern, return . and .. without allowing escape, skip symlinks, and encode the exact requested Directory, FullDirectory, BothDirectory, or Names information class.

  • Expect rules could send an unresolved placeholder and retain secrets after use — a response containing an unresolved variable is now dropped instead of typing literal ${name} into the remote session. Substituted responses and terminal snapshots use zeroizing buffers; rules are explicitly scrubbed on match, replacement, expiry, removal, and clear. Application tracing records only rule metadata and matched-line length, never terminal content or a response value.

Improved

  • Session transcript captures initial connection output within 500 ms (issue #247) — the output logger previously sampled the VTE buffer every 5 seconds, so SSH -v debug lines, login banners and MOTD emitted in the first second carried timestamps 5 seconds late and lacked temporal precision for diagnosing connection failures. A GLib one-shot timer now guarantees capture after a 500 ms grace period even when VTE emits no later contents-changed signal, then change-driven captures return to the 5-second interval. Process exit cancels any pending timer, records a final snapshot before flushing, and resets the timer state so an in-place reconnect receives its own 500 ms capture. Transcript snapshots are zeroized when replaced or dropped; sessions without output logging remain unchanged.

  • Embedded RDP and VNC toolbar no longer consumes vertical space and does not block interaction — the session toolbar (Copy, Paste, Autotype, Ctrl+Alt+Del) is a floating overlay over the remote desktop, preserving the full DrawingArea height and negotiated resolution. The toolbar is revealed exclusively by hovering or clicking a narrow arrow indicator at the top center — the rest of the top edge remains free for window controls and split-view actions. The revealer is fully transparent and pass-through (can_target = false) when hidden, so the remote desktop receives all input directly. The crossfade transition (150 ms) avoids the geometry-changing animation that previously forced the overlay to re-clip on every frame and invalidate the DrawingArea. A persistent 44×44 arrow control exposes the toolbar to touch and keyboard users, all toolbar actions meet the same minimum target, and auto-hide pauses while the pointer or keyboard focus is inside the toolbar or a popover is open.

  • Split view panel buttons auto-hide to avoid toolbar conflict — the close and detach buttons on split panes are now hidden behind a subtle arrow indicator at the top-right corner. Hovering or clicking the arrow reveals the buttons with a crossfade; they hide automatically after 800 ms of inactivity. This eliminates the overlap between split panel controls and the RDP/VNC floating toolbar.

  • Embedded RDP rendering performance improved — three per-frame optimizations in the draw function: (1) set_device_scale is cached and only called when the effective scale actually changes, avoiding Cairo's internal pattern-cache invalidation on every frame; (2) the dark background paint is skipped when the framebuffer covers the full widget at 1:1 scale; (3) nearest-neighbor filtering is used universally instead of bilinear/good — imperceptible at 60 fps interactive rates but significantly faster. Combined with the removal of a full-overlay EventControllerMotion that previously fired on every mouse movement, the overall redraw cost is measurably reduced.

Dependencies

  • Updated: aho-corasick 1.1.4 → 1.1.5, android_system_properties 0.1.5 → 0.1.6, clap_mangen 0.3.0 → 0.3.1, data-encoding 2.11.0 → 2.11.1, keccak 0.2.0 → 0.2.1, kqueue 1.2.0 → 1.2.1, open 5.4.0 → 5.4.1, regex-automata 0.4.16 → 0.4.18, zlib-rs 0.6.6 → 0.6.7. These are transitive patch releases picked up when the lockfile was regenerated.
