totoshko88/RustConn v0.8.8 on GitHub

What's Changed

Security

AES-256-GCM for stored credentials — Replaced XOR obfuscation with AES-256-GCM + Argon2id key derivation for KeePassXC, Bitwarden, 1Password, and Passbolt passwords in settings; transparent migration from legacy format on first save
FreeRDP password via stdin — Passwords are now passed using /from-stdin instead of /p:{password} command-line argument, preventing exposure via /proc/PID/cmdline

Changed

FreeRDP detection unified — Single detect_best_freerdp() function with Wayland-first candidate ordering (wlfreerdp3 → wlfreerdp → xfreerdp3 → xfreerdp); all detection paths delegate to it
RDP build_args() decoupled — New build_args() and build_command_with_binary() methods on RdpProtocol separate argument construction from binary name; callers determine the binary via runtime detection
ZeroTrust validation — Provider-specific validate() on ZeroTrustConfig checks required fields (AWS SSM target, GCP IAP instance/zone/project, Teleport cluster, Tailscale hostname, Generic command template) before save
ZeroTrust CLI detection — CLI tool availability (aws, gcloud, tsh, tailscale) is verified before connection launch; missing tools show a toast and log a warning
ZeroTrust tracing — Connection launch attempts and failures are now logged via tracing in both GUI and CLI paths
Native export format v2 — NativeExport now includes snippets field; backward-compatible with v1 imports via #[serde(default)]

Dependencies

native-tls 0.2.14 → 0.2.18 — Removed version pin; 0.2.18 fixes the Tlsv13 compile error from 0.2.17 (#367)
toml 0.8 → 1.0 — Major version bump; no API changes required (re-export crate, fully compatible)
zip 2.2 → 8.1 — Major version bump; replaced deprecated mangled_name() with enclosed_name() which adds path traversal validation

Fixed

RDP HiDPI scaling on 4K displays — IronRDP now sends desktop_scale_factor to the Windows server (e.g. 200% on a 2× display), so remote UI elements render at the correct logical size instead of appearing tiny; previously hardcoded to 0
RDP mouse coordinate mismatch on HiDPI — Widget dimensions used for mouse→RDP coordinate transform now store CSS pixels (matching GTK event coordinates) instead of device pixels, fixing misaligned clicks on scaled displays

Removed

Dashboard module — Removed unused ConnectionDashboard GUI widget, core types (SessionStats, DashboardFilter), and property tests; session monitoring is handled by Active Sessions manager and sidebar indicators
5 dead GUI modules — Removed adaptive_tabs.rs, empty_state.rs, error_display.rs, floating_controls.rs, loading.rs (all replaced by native adw/GTK4 equivalents)
tab_split_manager remnants — Removed unused field from MainWindow and SharedTabSplitManager type alias; split view fully handled by SplitViewBridge
