• Fixed: "the server speaks an SSH version Noden doesn't support". Ruijie switches, Cisco IOS and older Comware devices introduce themselves as SSH-1.99-…, which RFC 4253 §5.1 defines as "I speak SSH 2.0, and I am also compatible with the older 1.x protocol". Noden was reading only three characters of that version string — 1.9 instead of 1.99 — and rejecting the device before the handshake even began. It now reads the full protocol version and connects. Genuinely obsolete protocols (SSH 1.5) are still refused.

The version string is hashed into the key exchange, so it is passed through byte for byte rather than normalised — trimming it would have moved the failure to signature verification instead of fixing it.

Verified end to end against a simulator announcing SSH-1.99-RGOS_SSH_1.0: version exchange, key exchange, keyboard-interactive sign-in, PTY and shell all complete.

This continues the work in 1.3.3–1.3.6 on switches and appliances that only speak older SSH.

• Fixed: smallest SSH packets were rejected. Noden required an incoming packet to be longer than one cipher block, so a 16-byte packet — the smallest the protocol allows, and one that older devices send routinely — failed with "the server sent a packet Noden couldn't read". Only the 4-byte length field is decrypted up front now, and the size check no longer excludes minimum-size packets.

Verified end to end against a simulator that reproduces the reported device exactly: diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 key exchange, ssh-rsa host key, aes256-ctr with hmac-sha2-256, and keyboard-interactive sign-in — key exchange, authentication, PTY and shell all complete.

Together with 1.3.3–1.3.5 this completes support for switches and appliances that only speak older SSH.

• Fixed: LegacyCipherError 5 when connecting to older network devices. Noden required incoming packets to be aligned to 16 bytes, but AES-CTR is a stream cipher and many devices align to 8 — perfectly valid packets were being rejected. Packet integrity is still verified by the MAC, exactly as before.
• Clearer messages when a packet can't be read. Errors from the legacy cipher layer now explain themselves in your own language instead of showing an internal error number.

This is a follow-up to 1.3.3 and 1.3.4, which added support for switches and appliances that only speak older SSH (legacy key exchange, ssh-rsa host keys, AES-CTR ciphers and keyboard-interactive sign-in).

• Keyboard-interactive sign-in. Many network devices ask for the password through a question-and-answer exchange rather than the plain password method. Noden now supports it, so a saved password signs you in without being asked again. Together with 1.3.3's legacy algorithm support, switches and appliances that speak only older SSH are now reachable end to end.
• Connections can no longer hang forever. If a server doesn't finish setting up the session within 30 seconds, Noden stops waiting and explains why instead of sitting on "connecting".
• Honest sign-in errors. A rejected password now says exactly that, instead of blaming the server's encryption settings. When a server only accepts methods Noden can't use, it says so and lists them.
• Anonymous usage statistics now work in released builds. Because of a build setting, the daily "still in use" ping had only been running in development builds since 1.1.8. Nothing about what is sent has changed — four fields, no IP, no hostnames — and it can still be turned off in Settings ▸ General ▸ Privacy.

• Older switches and appliances now connect. Network devices that only offer legacy SSH algorithms — diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 key exchange, ssh-rsa host keys, aes128/192/256-ctr ciphers with HMAC-SHA-1/SHA-256/SHA-512 — can now be reached from Noden. Modern servers keep using curve25519, Ed25519 and AES-GCM: the older algorithms are offered last and only chosen when a device has nothing else.
• Connection errors say what actually went wrong. A failed connection used to show an internal code such as "ChannelError error 9". Noden now reports the real cause — an algorithm mismatch, a refused port, a timeout — in your own language.
• Report a problem from the terminal. Right-click and choose Report a Problem. If the connection failed, the error text and a technical summary of the session (protocol, port, authentication method) are filled in for you. The server address, username and connection name are never included.
• See exactly what is sent. The feedback window can now show the precise request body before you send it, so you can check every field yourself.

• Fixed: dragging files in and out of the file manager. Since 1.2.0, dropping a file from Finder onto a server — or dragging one from the server panel back to your Mac — quietly did nothing. Both directions work again.
• Answer a password prompt on connect. Give a connection an "On connect" command such as sudo su and choose which password answers it: the connection's own, or any entry from your vault. It is typed once, only if a prompt actually appears, and it never enters your command history.
• Double-click a vault entry to copy it. Touch ID still applies and the clipboard still clears after 30 seconds — now a short confirmation tells you it landed.
• Return confirms the "close session" prompt. Escape still cancels.
• The direct download and the Mac App Store build are on the same version number again.

• Dual-pane SFTP file manager — drag from Finder, sortable native columns, Quick Look, and remote files open in your own editor and sync back on save
• Password Vault — passwords, SSH keys, API tokens and secure notes behind Touch ID, stored only in your Mac's Keychain
• Local terminal (Cmd-T) — a shell on your own Mac with your real PATH, Homebrew and dotfiles

• Password Vault — a built-in manager for passwords, SSH keys, API tokens and secure notes, protected by Touch ID and stored only in your Mac's Keychain. Link a connection to a vault entry so changing a password once updates everywhere, type a secret straight into the terminal without it landing in shell history, with encrypted vault export/import.
