What's Changed

Fixed

  • KeePassXC "Don't save" mode did not unlock the database on demand, reporting credentials as missing (issue #273) — when the KDBX master password storage is set to "Don't save", credential resolution failed with a misleading "Variable Not Configured" dialog even when the variable and its KeePass entry were correctly configured. The actual problem was that the database password was not available in memory — there was no mechanism to prompt for it at connection time, and a successful "Check" in Settings did not keep the password for the session either. Three changes fix this: (1) when "Don't save" is selected and the user verifies the password in Settings, it is now kept in the runtime-only kdbx_password field for the remainder of the session (never persisted to disk or keyring); (2) if a connection needs a KeePass credential and no session password is available, the resolver returns a new KdbxLocked signal instead of failing with the wrong error; (3) the UI shows an on-demand "KeePass database is locked" dialog with a password entry, verifies the password against the database, stores it in memory for the session, and automatically retries the connection. Subsequent connections in the same session reuse the in-memory password without re-prompting. The password is forgotten when RustConn exits.

Improved

  • Sidebar search uses a cached search engine with result caching — filter_connections no longer allocates a fresh SearchEngine on every keystroke. A DebouncedSearchEngine stored in ConnectionSidebar provides automatic result caching with TTL: repeated or backspace-retype queries return instantly from cache instead of recomputing fuzzy scores across the entire connection list. The cache is invalidated whenever connections are added, edited, deleted, or imported (via reload_sidebar), so results are never stale. For large connection databases (hundreds of entries), search-as-you-type is noticeably more responsive.

  • Command palette reuses its stored search engine instead of allocating per-mode — filter_commands previously created a new SearchEngine::new() on each invocation even though CommandPaletteDialog already held a stored engine passed to every other mode. The redundant allocation is removed; filter_commands now receives the existing engine as a parameter.

  • Embedded RDP: suppressed unused_variables warning for frame_stats without gfx-h264 — the FrameStatistics variable in the RDP session loop is only used when the H.264 decode path is active. The existing #[cfg_attr(not(feature = "gfx-h264"), expect(unused_mut, ...))] annotation now also covers unused_variables, eliminating the warning when building with --features rdp-embedded alone.

  • Keyboard group dropdowns show what "Automatic" actually sends (issue #271) — the reporter confirmed Backspace works after 0.19.20, but Delete still does not on their device. The dropdown said Automatic with no indication that it puts a five-byte VT220 escape sequence (\e[3~) on the wire rather than the single byte the other two options name — a device that cannot parse escape sequences silently ignores it, and the user has no cue that Delete (^?) is what they need. The labels now read Automatic (^?) for Backspace and Automatic (\e[3~) for Delete, mirroring the parenthesised notation the non-default choices already use. The group description on both the SSH/MOSH and Telnet pages also changes from a generic "change what these keys send" to an explicit hint: devices that reject one default usually reject both, so the user knows to check Delete after fixing Backspace.
