Polaris 1.1.0 focuses on the web console, Library workflows, and pairing-time access control.
Highlights
- Mission Control and Library got a UI and workflow polish pass, including degraded-state handling, import flow cleanup, app editor layout fixes, and clearer Auto Quality wording.
- Pairing now supports a Polaris-approved Game Control preset before QR/OTP or manual PIN approval. It grants list, view, launch, and input permissions only; clipboard, file transfer, and server commands stay off.
- Paired-device cards and the editor now recognize the exact Game Control mask as a named preset instead of Custom Access.
- NVENC split-frame mode remains experimental. When disabled, Polaris now sends the explicit FFmpeg disable value when supported, avoiding accidental split-frame behavior on release builds.
Validation
- PR #83 passed web checks, CodeQL, public hygiene, Arch, Ubuntu 24.04, and Fedora 42/43/44 package builds.
- The v1.1.0 tag build passed and uploaded Arch, Ubuntu 24.04, and Fedora 42/43/44 release assets.
- Fedora 44 release RPM smoke: package version 1.1.0.686e33e-1, polaris --version reports cuda=enabled, and bundled web assets include Game Control/access_preset.
Known follow-up
- Issue #82 stays open for AV1 split-frame monitoring; split-frame is disabled by default.
