v0.22.6

What's Changed

Fixed

• Terminal highlight rules never coloured anything, and the built-in rules underlined ERROR/WARNING with no way to stop them (issue #343) — a highlight rule is a regular expression plus a colour, but the rule editors (both the global one in Settings and the per-connection one in the connection editor) only offered a name and a pattern — there was no field to set a colour at all, so every rule a user created stored no colour and drew nothing. Both editors now have Text colour and Background colour fields that take a hex value (#RRGGBB); an empty field means no colour. The pattern field's tooltip now says it expects a regular expression such as (?i)\bINFO\b (not a 'INFO'[r,g,b]-style literal from another tool) with the colour set separately. Separately, a foreground colour was drawn as a thin 2px underline that a user did not read as highlighting — it is now a translucent colour wash over the matched text plus the underline, so the match is visibly coloured while the text stays legible. Finally, the built-in ERROR/WARNING/CRITICAL/FATAL rules were always on and could not be turned off, which is the automatic underline a user saw with no rules configured; a new Highlight ERROR, WARNING, CRITICAL and FATAL switch in Settings turns them off, leaving only the user's own rules.

Changed

• The Snap now grants the desktop portal network-monitor access (issue #342) — under strict confinement the snap could not answer GIO's network-status query (org.freedesktop.portal.NetworkMonitor), which the sandbox refused with "not available inside the sandbox" and a GLib-GIO-WARNING on every check. The snap now declares the network-status interface (auto-connected on the store), so the network monitor works and the warning is gone.

Documentation

• Corrected the packaging docs about FreeRDP and VNC fallbacks in the sandboxed builds (issues #342, #340) — the docs claimed the Snap downloads an external FreeRDP and TigerVNC on demand through the Components dialog, which was never true: FreeRDP is not a downloadable component (no pre-built Linux binaries) and the TigerVNC viewer needs host display access a strict snap cannot grant, so neither ever appeared in the snap's dialog. docs/SNAP.md, docs/INSTALL.md and docs/USER_GUIDE.md now state plainly that the snap uses the embedded IronRDP and vnc-rs clients for RDP and VNC with no external fallback, that only the sandbox-compatible CLIs (Zero Trust, password managers, kubectl) are downloadable, and that the Flatpak (not the snap) bundles the SDL3 FreeRDP client. The stale FreeRDP detection-priority line in INSTALL.md was also updated to the SDL-first order the launcher has used since 0.22.5 (sdl-freerdp3 first, wlfreerdp3 deprecated), so the docs no longer list the deprecated client first.

Dependencies

• Updated: cc 1.4.7 → 1.5.1, hyper-util 0.1.20 → 0.1.21, js-sys 0.3.105 → 0.3.106, siphasher 1.0.3 → 1.0.4, smallvec 1.16.1 → 1.16.2, wasm-bindgen 0.2.128 → 0.2.129 (with the matching wasm-bindgen-futures/-macro/-shared and find-msvc-tools 0.1.13 → 0.1.14), web-sys 0.3.105 → 0.3.106, zerocopy 0.8.58 → 0.8.59. Both cargo-sources.json (Flatpak and Flathub) were regenerated from the refreshed Cargo.lock.
