totoshko88/RustConn v0.6.0

on GitHub

What's Changed

Added

• Pre-connect Port Check - Fast TCP port reachability check before launching RDP/VNC/SPICE connections:
  • Provides faster feedback (2-3s vs 30-60s timeout) when hosts are unreachable
  • Configurable globally in Settings → Connection with timeout setting (default: 3s)
  • Per-connection "Skip port check" option for special cases (firewalls, port knocking, VPN)
  • New ConnectionSettings struct in AppSettings for connection-related settings
  • New skip_port_check field on Connection model
• CLI Feature Parity - CLI now supports all major GUI features:
  • template list/show/create/delete/apply - Connection template management
  • cluster list/show/create/delete/add-connection/remove-connection - Cluster management
  • var list/show/set/delete - Global variables management
  • duplicate - Duplicate existing connections
  • stats - Show connection statistics (counts by protocol, groups, templates, clusters, snippets, variables, usage)
• GitHub CI RPM Build - Added Fedora RPM package build to release workflow:
  • Builds in Fedora 41 container with Rust 1.87
  • RPM package included in GitHub releases alongside .deb and AppImage
  • Installation instructions for Fedora in release notes
• Added load_variables() and save_variables() methods to ConfigManager for global variables persistence
• Added <icon> element to metainfo.xml for explicit AppStream icon declaration
• Added <developer_name> tag to metainfo.xml for backward compatibility with older AppStream parsers
• Added author and license fields to AppImage packaging (AppImageBuilder.yml)
• Added debian.copyright file to OBS debian packaging

Changed

• Code Audit & Cleanup Release - comprehensive codebase audit and modernization
• Removed check_structs.rs development artifact containing unsafe code (violated unsafe_code = "forbid" policy)
• Replaced blocking_send() with try_send() in VNC input handlers to prevent UI freezes
• Replaced unwrap() with safe alternatives in sidebar.rs iterator access
• Replaced expect() with proper error handling in validation.rs regex compilation
• Replaced module-level #![allow(clippy::unwrap_used)] with targeted function-level annotations in embedded_rdp_thread.rs
• Improved app.rs initialization to return proper error instead of panicking
• Updated Cargo.toml license from MIT to GPL-3.0-or-later (matches actual LICENSE file)
• Updated Cargo.toml authors to "Anton Isaiev totoshko88@gmail.com"

Fixed

• Fixed remote-viewer version detection for localized output (e.g., Ukrainian "версія" instead of "version")
• Fixed Asbru-CM import skipping RDP/VNC connections with client info (e.g., "rdp (rdesktop)", "rdp (xfreerdp)", "vnc (vncviewer)")
• VNC keyboard/mouse input no longer blocks GTK main thread on channel send
• Sidebar protocol filter no longer panics on empty filter set
• Regex validation errors now return Result instead of panicking
• FreeRDP thread mutex operations now have documented safety invariants
• Package metadata now correctly shows author and license in all package formats
