Release Notes

Highlights

• Packages for Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora. Each release now carries .deb and .rpm packages for amd64 and arm64. They install Vortix to /usr/bin, so sudo vortix works without a symlink, and bring wireguard-tools and openvpn with them. Download them from the release page and install with sudo apt install ./vortix_*.deb or sudo dnf install ./vortix-*.rpm. (#345)

Fixed

• The in-app help matches the dashboard. The Roles tab lists the labels the Connection Details panel really shows, the Keys tab includes f (flip a panel), and the switch entry says the conflicting tunnel is stopped and the new one kept. up --help and status --help describe what they do today, including what data.connection holds in status --json. (#341)
• vortix killswitch off without root asks for sudo. It failed with an internal ownership error and exit code 1; it now exits 2 with "Re-run with: sudo vortix killswitch off", like every other mode change. (#341)

Changed

• vortix update only updates a Cargo install. It used to run cargo install whatever the install method; for Homebrew, a package, npm or a source checkout it now exits 1 and names the right way to update, such as brew upgrade vortix. (#341)
