✨ Release Highlights
Netcatty v1.1.81 adds App Lock (password plus Touch ID / Windows Hello), SFTP archive extract, OSC desktop notifications, a Spanish UI locale, and a cluster of terminal copy / SSH / AI reliability fixes.
🔒 App Lock
- Settings can enable App Lock with a password, idle timeout, lock-on-background, and a title-bar lock button. Locked windows hide session details, block shortcuts, and queue
ssh://deep links until unlock (#1609). - macOS Touch ID and Windows Hello can unlock; optional auto-prompt on reopen. A forgotten-password reset is available from the lock screen.
- The lock overlay still lets you drag the window; unlock controls stay clickable (#3059).
📂 SFTP extract and bookmarks
- Right-click Extract here for zip, tar, tar.gz / tgz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, gz, bz2, and xz on remote and local panes (#3042).
- Bookmark popover closes as soon as a saved path is selected (#3055).
🔔 Terminal notifications, copy, and input
- OSC 9 / 777 / 99 desktop notifications for remote jobs (Settings → Terminal → Behavior), including hibernated sessions; click the toast to jump back (#3037).
- History-preview copy works while vim owns the screen; wrap-boundary spaces survive copy; SearchAddon matches are not copied (#3035, [#3036], [#3038]).
- Previous-line keyword highlight survives Enter chunks that carry a bare CR; hidden focus-mode panes stay full-size so
\rprogress no longer floods the buffer (#3040, [#3048]). - Esc+. is passed through for readline yank-last-arg (#3047).
🔌 SSH, snippets, and i18n
- TERM-SSHD transports are not idle-parked; Copy Tab / SFTP-held last-close reuse is confirmed first (#3030).
- Bastion / PAM products can launch Netcatty with PuTTY-style CLI args (
-ssh,-P,-l,-pw) (#3044). - Snippet shortkeys ignore disabled app shortcuts when checking conflicts (#3029).
- Neutral Spanish (es) UI locale (#3008).
🤖 AI, MCP, and Grok
- Grok models expose reasoning-effort selection and keep legacy model / effort choices (#3056).
- Active thinking streams are no longer aborted at 2 minutes while tokens are still arriving (#3052).
- SSE
data:lines without a space after the colon are accepted (#3027). - Cursor CLI login on Windows cmd shims; MCP no-arg tools accept omitted
arguments(#3039, [#3050]).
