What's Changed

Fixed

  • Opening a Local Shell as the second pane of a fresh RDP split no longer crashes — splitting a connected RDP (or SSH) session and then choosing Local Shell for the empty pane crashed the process with SIGSEGV. The Local Shell path is the only one that spawns a new VTE terminal and reparents it into the pane in a single gesture (move_session_to_panel → set_panel_content, which unparents the widget and re-appends it under a fresh overlay); the Select Tab paths move an already-settled widget. Immediately after that move, the handler restored the host tab and grabbed focus on the just-reparented terminal in the same main-loop tick, racing GTK's own teardown of the old parent's surface: GTK was left dispatching a Wayland event against a wl_proxy whose surface had already been destroyed, and wl_proxy_get_version on it faulted. A gdb backtrace confirmed the crash is entirely inside libgtk-4/libwayland-client (wl_proxy_get_version ← GTK ← wl_display_dispatch_queue_pending ← g_application_run) with no RustConn frame — a use-after-free our reparent-then-focus sequence triggered, not our own memory bug, which is also why it reproduced identically under the GL, Cairo and default renderers (it is not the GPU/Vulkan path). The tab restore and focus grab are now deferred to the next idle, after GTK has finished the reparent and dropped the stale proxy, which breaks the race; the widgets are re-resolved inside the idle so a session closed in the meantime is a no-op. (rustconn/src/window/split_view_actions.rs)

Documentation

  • Documented how to run ChromaTerm (and other output filters) from a sandboxed build (#343) — the reporter who wanted coloured text rather than the highlight overlay's underline followed the docs to ChromaTerm as an Output Filter, then hit the real wall: a Flatpak/Snap RustConn cannot reach a host chromaterm, and feeding it its own PYTHONPATH still fails because the sandbox's Python cannot see ChromaTerm's pyyaml dependency. The Output Filter section of the user guide now spells out the working path — install ChromaTerm on the host and set the filter command to flatpak-spawn --host chromaterm, which runs it with the host's Python so yaml resolves. (The underline-vs-coloured-text limit, the multibyte-colour crash, the tab/CJK/scrollback positioning and the toggle for the built-in ERROR/WARNING/CRITICAL/FATAL rules were all already addressed in 0.22.6–0.23.x.) (docs/USER_GUIDE.md)
  • Clarified the snap's external FreeRDP client and documented the core26 migration (#342) — the snap has bundled FreeRDP's X11 client (xfreerdp3, from freerdp3-x11) since 0.22.7 and gained the network-status plug (fixing the portal NetworkMonitor warning) in 0.22.11, so the reported gaps are already closed. The snap/snapcraft.yaml base comment now carries an actionable, numbered checklist for the eventual base: core24 → core26 move (enabling --features adw-1-8, re-checking the VTE and freerdp3-x11/sdl-freerdp3 package names on 26.04, and re-running the strict-confinement smoke), tied to the gnome extension's core26 support tracked in snapcraft#6185 and RustConn#174. docs/SNAP.md notes that an sdl-freerdp3 client should be preferred over the X11 one once the snap is on 26.04. No build or runtime change. (snap/snapcraft.yaml, docs/SNAP.md)

Dependencies

  • Updated: cc 1.7.0 → 1.8.0, serde_json 1.0.152 → 1.0.154, syn 3.0.7 → 3.0.8, unicode-ident 1.0.26 → 1.0.27, zopfli 0.8.3 → 0.8.4. All semver-compatible patch/minor bumps (serde_json plus the build-time proc-macro and compression families); no security advisories affected (cargo deny check advisories clean). CLI download versions all current (TigerVNC pinned at 1.16.2); the RustCrypto release-candidate family and the out-of-range majors (zip 8→9, x509-cert 0.2→0.3) remain held back, pinned transitively by the sspi/picky-krb stack exactly as in 0.23.1–0.23.10; picky-krb 0.12.5 stays held at 0.12.4 for the same reason (its GssApiMessageError variant breaks the pinned sspi 0.21.3). The Flatpak/Flathub manifests are in sync (GNOME runtime 51, FreeRDP 3.32.1, cJSON 1.7.19, OpenH264 2.6.0).

Verifying your download

Every binary on this release (deb, rpm, AppImage, Flatpak) is covered two ways.

Plain checksums — download SHA256SUMS alongside the asset, then:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

Signed build provenance (SLSA, via Sigstore) — proves the file was built by this
workflow from this commit:

gh attestation verify RustConn-0.23.11-x86_64.AppImage --repo totoshko88/RustConn

(The snap is signed by the Snap Store; the macOS build is delivered via the Homebrew tap.)
