mullvad/mullvadvpn-app 2026.5-beta1

on GitHub

This release is for desktop only.

Here is a list of all changes since last release 2026.4:

Added

• Add explicit log levels for mullvad log set-level command: off, error, warn, info,
  debug and trace.

Changed

• Clicking on the tray icon will toggle the window instead of just showing it.
• Old mullvad log set-level command has been renamed to mullvad log set-rust-log.

Linux

• Make all timestamps embedded in .deb and .rpm packages deterministic by deriving them from
  the git commit being built instead of the time of the build. Required for reproducible builds.
• Set the BUILDHOST header of .rpm packages to a fixed value instead of the hostname of the
  build machine. Required for reproducible builds.
• De-couple mullvad-daemon.service "After=" dependencies from systemd.resolved and NetworkManager.
• Start mullvad-early-boot-blocking.service before network-pre.target instead of basic.target.

Windows

• Sign the uninstaller, Electron binaries, and native modules. Some NSIS binaries are still
  unsigned.
• Switch winreg out for windows_registry.

Fixed

• Reject invalid DAITA fraction limits in tunnel config responses before starting the tunnel.
• Ignore DAITA tunnel config responses unless DAITA was requested.
• Fix infinite loop of account checks when account ran out of time.
• Fix IPv6 obfuscation relay selection when the relay's WireGuard endpoint only has IPv4.
• Fix the device sometimes being incorrectly marked as revoked when the API rejects an expired
  access token.
• Fix daemon crashing on startup when migrating settings that contain no WireGuard entry location.

Windows

• Preserve the app's own theme colors when Windows high contrast (forced-colors) mode is
  enabled in order to prevent toggle switches and other custom-styled controls from becoming
  invisible.
• Fix the installer UI from looking blurry by making the installer DPI-aware.
