What's Changed

Added

• Undo/Trash Functionality - Safely recover deleted items (COMP-FUNC-01):
  • Deleted items are moved to Trash and can be restored via "Undo" notification
  • Implemented persisted Trash storage for recovery across sessions
• Group Inheritance - Simplify connection configuration (COMP-FUNC-03):
  • Added ability to inherit Username and Domain from parent Group
  • "Load from Group" buttons auto-fill credential fields from group settings

Changed

• Dependencies - Updated: bytemuck 1.24.0→1.25.0, portable-atomic 1.13.0→1.13.1, slab 0.4.11→0.4.12, zerocopy 0.8.36→0.8.37, zerocopy-derive 0.8.36→0.8.37, zmij 1.0.17→1.0.18
• Persistence Optimization - Implemented debounced persistence for connections and groups (TECH-02):
  • Changes are now batched and saved after 2 seconds of inactivity
  • Reduces disk I/O during rapid modifications (e.g., drag-and-drop reordering)
  • Added flush_persistence to ensure data safety on application exit
• Sort Optimization - Improved rendering performance (COMP-FUNC-02):
  • Sorting is now skipped when data order hasn't changed, reducing CPU usage
  • Optimized sort_all calls during UI updates
• Connection History Sorting - History entries now sorted by date descending (newest first)

Fixed

• Credential Inheritance from Groups - Fixed password inheritance not working for connections:
  • Connections with password_source=Inherit now correctly resolve credentials from parent group's KeePass entry
  • Added direct KeePass lookup for group credentials in resolve_credentials_blocking
• GTK Widget Parenting - Fixed gtk_widget_set_parent assertion failure in split view:
  • set_panel_content now checks if widget has parent before calling unparent()
• Connection History Reconnect - Fixed reconnecting from Connection History not opening tab:
  • History reconnect now uses start_connection_with_credential_resolution for proper credential handling
  • Previously showed warning about missing credentials for RDP connections
• Blocking I/O - Fixed UI freezing during save operations by moving persistence to background tasks (Async Persistence):
  • Added global Tokio runtime to main application
  • Implemented async save methods in ConfigManager
  • ConnectionManager now saves connections and groups in non-blocking background tasks
• Code Quality - Comprehensive code cleanup and optimization:
  • Fixed future_not_send issues in async persistence layer
  • Resolved type complexity warnings in ConnectionManager
  • Removed dead code and unused imports across sidebar modules
  • Enforced clippy pedantic checks for better robustness

Refactored

• Sidebar Module - Decomposed monolithic sidebar.rs into focused submodules (TECH-03):
  • search.rs: Encapsulated search logic, predicates, and history management
  • filter.rs: centralized protocol filter button creation and state management
  • view.rs: Isolated UI list item creation, binding, and signal handling
  • drag_drop.rs: Prepared structure for drag-and-drop logic separation
  • Improved compile times and navigation by splitting 2300+ line file
• Drag and Drop Refactoring - Replaced string-based payloads with strongly typed DragPayload enum (TECH-04):
  • Uses serde_json for robust serialization instead of manual string parsing
  • Centralized drag logic in drag_drop.rs
  • Improved type safety for drag-and-drop operations

UI/UX

• Search Highlighting - Added visual feedback for search matches (TECH-05):
  • Matched text substrings are now highlighted in bold
  • Implemented case-insensitive fuzzier matching with Pango markup
  • Improved Regex-based search logic
