totoshko88/RustConn v0.9.8 on GitHub

What's Changed

Security

RDP password no longer exposed on command line — FreeRDP fallback now uses /from-stdin instead of /p:{password} argument

Fixed

SSH connection status not turning green — VTE cursor position axes were swapped; status detection callbacks were skipped when async port check is enabled
Automation cursor tracking — expect-script automation read wrong cursor axis from VTE
RDP keyboard input duplication — deduplicated key press/release handlers via shared send_ironrdp_key()
Username placeholder on empty $USER — falls back to $LOGNAME, then generic placeholder

Added

Connection dialog — protocol improvements:

SSH — password source validation on save, key source "Default" explanation, custom options placeholder, port forwarding duplicate detection
RDP — gateway port/username fields, disable NLA checkbox, clipboard sharing toggle, dynamic resolution info
VNC — encoding dropdown (Auto/Tight/ZRLE/Hextile/Raw/CopyRect), performance mode auto-sync, auth info
SPICE — proxy field for Proxmox VE, CA certificate validation, TLS/skip-verification sensitivity logic
Serial — device auto-detection (/dev/ttyUSB*, /dev/ttyACM*, /dev/ttyS*), dialout group warning
Kubernetes — pod name validation, busybox mode sensitivity
Telnet — plaintext transmission security warning
Zero Trust — CLI availability check, OCI Bastion SSH key/TTL fields, generic command placeholder docs

Connection dialog — general:

Domain field hidden for non-RDP protocols
MAC address format validation for Wake-on-LAN
Granular per-connection logging options (activity, input, output, timestamps)
Password source ↔ SSH auth method auto-sync

Other:

SFTP mc in split view — mc-based SFTP sessions now support horizontal/vertical split like SSH
Context menu "New Connection" — opens dialog with the connection's group pre-selected

Improved

Connection dialog decomposition — extracted 4 tab modules from monolithic dialog.rs (~~7500→~~1500 lines)
Embedded RDP decomposition — extracted 5 modules from monolithic mod.rs (~~2900→~~500 lines)
Code quality — structured tracing fields, i18n coverage, deduplication of clipboard/callback/resize patterns, module-level lint allows removed
