What's Changed

Added

  • "Open a new session on every double-click" setting (issue #242) — Settings → Interface → Connections. The smart double-click added in 0.18.3 focuses a connection's running session instead of duplicating it, which removed the pre-0.18.3 way of opening several concurrent sessions on one host: double-clicking the same entry four times. Shift/Ctrl+double-click and right-click → "Open new session" already forced a new session, but neither is as immediate as the plain double-click that used to do it. With the new switch on, every double-click starts another session — the "already running in an external window" hint is skipped as well — and the modifier becomes redundant. Off by default, so the focusing behaviour stays the norm.

Fixed

  • Remote Desktop Manager JSON import failed on the first entry (issue #234) — the importer expected ConnectionType to be a token name, while RDM serialises it as the numeric Devolutions ConnectionType enum, so a real export aborted with invalid type: integer 25, expected a string (25 is Group) and imported nothing. Both dialects are now accepted, together with the rest of the export's actual shape: the connection-type tokens RDM really writes (RDPConfigured, SSHShell, Putty, Iterm, TerminalConsole, SecureCRT, VNC, NoVNC, Telnet), the host in Url/HostName as well as Host, a port encoded as a string, and the folder tree, which RDM expresses as Group entries plus a backslash-separated Group path rather than the Folders array RustConn used to look for. Usernames, domains and passwords are read from the nested Credentials object and from a Credential entry referenced through CredentialConnectionID — previously the flat Username key never matched RDM's UserName and every credential was dropped. An imported password now goes to the secret backend (PasswordSource::Vault) instead of being parsed and discarded, and an entry of a type RustConn cannot map is reported in the skipped list with that type named.
  • Royal TS import skipped every RDP connection (issue #234) — the parser looked for a RoyalRDPConnection element, which does not exist in the format: Royal TS and Royal TSX store RDP as RoyalRDSConnection (older documents: RoyalTerminalServicesConnection) and keep its port in RDPPort, not Port. All three names are now recognised, and any other Royal*Connection object (web page, file transfer, TeamViewer, ...) is listed as skipped with its type instead of vanishing silently.
  • Royal TS connections imported without a username (issue #234) — only CredentialId was honoured, so the usual Royal TS arrangements produced no credentials at all: a credential assigned by name (CredentialName), typed into the connection (CredentialMode 2 with CredentialUsername), or — most commonly — inherited from the parent folder (CredentialFromParent, CredentialMode 1). Username and domain are now resolved through all of these, walking up the folder chain. Passwords stay a prompt: Royal TS keeps them encrypted inside the document, so they cannot be imported.
  • Compressed Royal TS documents could not be read (issue #234) — .rtsz is the compressed document format and was read as UTF-8 text, which failed with an opaque error. The ZIP container is now unpacked before parsing, .rtsx (uncompressed XML) is offered in the file chooser and recognised in batch import, and a document that is neither says so, naming encryption and lockdown as the likely cause.
  • XML entities corrupted imported Royal TS values (issue #234) — quick-xml reports &, ' and friends as their own events, and each text fragment was written straight into the field, so only the fragment after the last entity survived: a connection named Dev & Test was imported as Test. Field text is now accumulated across text, CDATA and reference events and committed when the element closes.
  • Royal TS export wrote an element Royal TS cannot read — the exporter emitted RoyalRDPConnection with a Port child for RDP and VNCPort for VNC; it now writes RoyalRDSConnection/RDPPort and the VNC Port that the format actually defines.

Documentation

  • Import chapter matches the formats again (issue #234) — docs/USER_GUIDE.md now lists Royal TS as .rtsz/.rtsx, states which object types are imported and why passwords cannot be, and gained a "From Remote Desktop Manager" section covering the JSON export, the credentials option and how Group paths become folders.

Dependencies

  • Updated: hybrid-array 0.4.13→0.4.14, wide 1.5.0→1.6.0 — the only two compatible updates cargo update found; both transitive (RustCrypto and SIMD helpers).
  • Security clean: cargo deny check advisories reports advisories ok. RUSTSEC-2023-0071 (rsa, via ironrdp → picky/sspi) remains accepted in deny.toml and .cargo/audit.toml.
  • CLI downloads current: scripts/check-cli-versions.sh exits 0 — kubectl 1.36.3, Tailscale 1.98.10, Teleport 18.10.0, Boundary 0.21.3, Hoop.dev 1.125.1, Bitwarden CLI 2026.7.0 and 1Password CLI 2.38.1 all auto-resolve to the latest release, and the one explicit pin, TigerVNC 1.16.2, is still current.
  • Packaging sources current: GNOME runtime 50, FreeRDP 3.30.0 (newest on pub.freerdp.com), cJSON 1.7.19, openh264 2.6.0, fast_float 8.2.10, waypipe 0.11.0 and mc 4.8.33 are all at their latest upstream release, and the Flathub manifest matches the local one. Snap stays on core24 + gnome-46-2404: no gnome-*-2604 platform snap exists yet (issue #174).
