on GitHub

What's Changed

Added

• Startup action — configure which session opens automatically when RustConn starts: local shell, or any saved connection. Set in Settings → Appearance → Startup, or override via CLI flags --shell / --connect <name|uuid> (#30)

Security

• All password fields (FreeRdpConfig, RdpConfig, SpiceClientConfig, KdbxEntry, PasswordDialogResult, ConnectionDialogResult) migrated to SecretString — credentials are now exposed only at point of use
• FreeRDP embedded thread no longer passes password via CLI arg — uses /from-stdin + stdin pipe
• Bitwarden BW_SESSION replaced with thread-safe in-process RwLock storage instead of set_var
• KDBX functions migrated to SecretString + SecretResult throughout
• SSH custom_options now filtered against dangerous directives (ProxyCommand, LocalCommand, etc.) before passing to ssh -o
• Hand-rolled base64 in Bitwarden backend replaced with data-encoding crate

Improved

• Ukrainian translation — 674 translations professionally reviewed by Mykola Zubkov for accuracy and modern orthography
• SVG icon optimized and simplified per GNOME HIG; 48×48 and 64×64 PNG removed — GTK renders SVG at any size; 128×128 and 256×256 PNG regenerated from SVG
• Welcome page logo now uses GTK themed icon lookup (same as About dialog) — renders SVG at native HiDPI resolution instead of fixed-size raster
• Flathub metainfo.xml overhauled: description condensed, brand colors improved, screenshots replaced with HiDPI windowed captures with shadows, localized screenshots for uk/be/cs, added translate and contribute URLs
• 8 dialogs migrated to adw::Dialog (libadwaita 1.5+) with adaptive sizing and proper modal behavior
• Password field uses PasswordEntry with built-in peek icon
• Screen reader support: accessible label relations added to password and connection dialogs
• adw::Clamp added to dialogs to prevent content stretching on wide screens
• Dialog header bar pattern deduplicated via shared dialog_header() helper
• Clear History now requires confirmation via adw::AlertDialog
• Search history popover items are now clickable
• All eprintln! calls replaced with structured tracing

Fixed

• VNC RSA-AES auto-fallback — servers using RSA-AES security type (type 129, e.g. wayvnc) now automatically fall back to external VNC viewer (TigerVNC) instead of showing a raw error. User sees a friendly toast message (#31)
• Embedded RDP cursor size corrected on HiDPI displays — server-sent device-pixel bitmaps now downscaled to logical pixels before GTK cursor creation
• Pango markup warning on welcome page — ampersand in "Embedded & external clients" escaped for GTK label rendering
• Variable password source (PasswordSource::Variable) now resolves correctly at connection time — SecretManager is initialized with backends from settings, and variable lookup uses the same backend as save
• Locale .mo files now included in Debian, RPM, and local Flatpak packages
• Debian build no longer enables spice-embedded feature without build dependencies
• AppStream metainfo.xml: categories added explicitly (Network, RemoteAccess), generic GTK category removed
• Debian Recommends updated for FreeRDP 3 / Wayland support
• Build dependencies corrected for gettext across Debian and RPM

Removed

• Dead code cleanup: unused credential caching, split view adapter methods, toast helpers, deprecated flatpak host command functions

Dependencies

• Updated: deranged 0.5.6→0.5.8, js-sys 0.3.86→0.3.88, wasm-bindgen 0.2.109→0.2.111, wasm-bindgen-futures 0.4.59→0.4.61, web-sys 0.3.86→0.3.88

Internal

• Project-Id-Version updated to 0.9.0 in all .po files
• Duplicate SessionResult type alias removed from session/manager.rs — canonical definition in error.rs
• Tray stub no longer allocates orphaned mpsc channel when tray feature is disabled
• Migrated to Rust 2024 edition (167 files changed across all three crates):
  • Eliminated all unsafe set_var/remove_var calls — SSH agent info stored in OnceLock<SshAgentInfo> with apply_agent_env() helper, language switching via process re-exec with sentinel guard, Bitwarden session token in RwLock
  • Renamed gen keyword usages to generator/pw_gen/counter in password generator, dialog, and RDP modules
  • Fixed ref binding patterns in match arms across source and test files (Rust 2024 match ergonomics)
  • Hundreds of collapsible_if patterns rewritten as let-chains (if let ... && let ...)
  • Import ordering updated to Rust 2024 style_edition rules via cargo fmt
