XPipe 14 is the biggest rework so far and provides an improved user experience, better team features, performance and memory improvements, and fixes to many existing bugs and limitations. It will take some days until the initial rough edges are ironed out, but it will get there eventually. So please make sure to report any issues you find, even the small ones.

Team vaults + Reusable identities

You can now create reusable identities for connections instead of having to enter authentication information for each connection separately. This will also make it easier to handle any authentication changes later on, as only one config has to be changed.

Furthermore, there is a new encryption mechanism for git vaults, allowing multiple users to have their own private connections and identities in a shared vault by encrypting them with the personal key of the user.

You can combine the reusable identities with the new per-user encryption. Essentially, if you mark a certain identity as being for your user only, it will be encrypted with your personal key and won't be accessible to other team users that have access to the vault without knowing your secret. Any connection that uses this per-user identity, will also be encrypted with your personal secret key, also making them only accessible to you. That way you can control who has access to which connections and login information in your team. You can of course also set identities to be global, so that all team users can utilize them.

If you have previously used a custom vault passphrase to lock your vault, this will be migrated to a user account with that passphrase as its secret. If you have not used that before, you can create your own user in the settings menu. Having multiple vault users requires the Professional plan but team vaults are available for free for two weeks after release.

Incus support

There is now support for incus
The newly added features for incus have also been ported to the LXD integration

Services

There is now the option to specify a URL path for services that will be appended when opened in the browser
You can now specify the service type instead of always having to choose between http and https when opening it
Services for containers can now be refreshed from a dedicated button instead of a fixed services entry, saving some vertical display space
Services now show better when they are active or inactive
The custom service creation has been moved to the top level to make it easier to locate

File transfers

You can now abort an active file transfer. You can find the button for that on the bottom right of the browser status bar
File transfers where the target write fails due to permissions issues or missing disk space are now better cancelled

Git vault

XPipe will now commit a dummy private key to your repository to make your git provider potentially detect any leaks of your repository contents
Any keys committed to the repository will now be forced to LF to prevent issues with keys generated on Windows
XPipe will now explicitly configure the setting pull.rebase for the local git repository as having that set to rebase globally would break the git sync
