Last release has been a blast, reaching over 1900 downloads, thank you for your ongoing interest! This release brings some bug fixes, a brand new projects feature, ppk support and some minor improvements.

• putty cool, huh? - graSSHopper is definitely not putty so it seemed logical to me that no one would try plucking a proprietary keyfile format into the form, but since many people got confused, I added ppk support when selecting keyfiles
• Projects!
  1. With the project feature you can define multiple connections (tabs) that will be launched with one click.
  2. You can even define commands that will be executed after a connection has been established.
  3. Each command can have a configurable delay, to make it work with autosudo for example (see below).
  4. Currently, you have to enter the necessary passwords, vault and keyfile integration is not done yet
• 𝒸𝓊𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓂 𝒻𝑜𝓃𝓉𝓈 - You can now change the terminal font, but be aware that only monospace fonts make sense here since most other fonts result in weird line-height, but thats up to you ^^. Also font-ligatures (like in fira code) do not work yet since this is a feature that is not yet supported by xterm without granting file-system access to the renderer process
• Moar config options - Configurable scroll-speed, letter-spacing, font-weight and font-weight for bold characters
• What was the default font? - Added reset to default button for config entries
• Good news, everyone! - Added a news panel to keep you up-to-date
• Shortcut wizardry - Added ctrl+tab shortcut to cycle through the connection tabs
• 🚀 - Updated the tab init process when the explorer is active, should be a bit faster
• U got any more of them.. colors? - When there are no colors in the terminal and no .bashrc file is detected, creating one will be suggested. Can be turned off in the config
• optional autosudo - When a sudo password prompt for the initial user is detected, the password will be entered automatically. This is turned off by default, if you want to use it, switch it on in the config
• 🚩🚩
  1. Added cli flags:
  2. --work-dir=<path> to change the folder grasshopper / electron uses to store data. For windows portable: when =<path> is omitted, the folder of the executable is used
  3. --conn=<connections> open predefined tabs with prefilled data, accepts one or more (comma-separated) connections in the format 'user@host:port'
• lookin fresh - Made some UI improvements
• Stay focu.. okay this change-title has been used too much - Indicate terminal focus through the scrollbar instead of the opacity of the whole terminal, better when using multiple screens or using the search

• Why did nobody tell me? - Fixed clip adding / editing
• Updated nano error check - The 'file ... is unwritable' error detection now detects the error in 25 languages

• Fixed configurable default editor - The terminal.editor.cmd option wasn't actually used anywhere, it is now in the contextmenu for explorer entries (if you are one of these sick people using vim instead of nano)

• vault session security - If you make request to a vault using an expired token it is reset so you can log in again

A LOT of things have changed internally. On the outside, the part that you acutally see, basically only the design has changed. But this big release is a very important fundament for a fancy future!

• Electron 10 - Jumped from 8.2.1 to 10.0.0
  1. disabled remote module - improved security
  2. context isolation - even moah security
• Webpack - The app files are now bundled, this improves startup time and reduces app size (sadly electron grew a few MB in size from v8 to v10 so the app size even increased a bit)
• Vue - Switched to vue.js framework, the app should now feel a bit more snappy over all
• Reduce usage of jquery - Where possible jquery has been replaced, making things reactive and faster

More usability changes.

• Where am I? - The position and size of the window is now saved and restored when closing and opening the app

Btw: that unicode support from last release wasn't so useless at all, vue-cli for example uses emotes inside the install process.. yeah 🤦‍♂️

• History, Shells and Aliases - If you are a fast typer, the delay to the server is high or both, chances are that sometimes an alias would not get replaced. Failed aliases are now detected and you have the option to add a 'fake' delay to your enter key to ensure working aliases. This is usually a delay of less than 100ms which is barely noticeable. You can also define a default fake delay if you encounter this issue more often
• Connecting... - Added a loading indicator in the tab to show that the connection process is still running

• Fontsize - the terminal font size is now configurable and has ctrl +/- shortcuts
• Stay focused - the terminal of the active tab will now be focued when you switch back to the graSSHopper window

More tiny fixes

• Pulsing update - The update arrow now pulses to indicate that your filesystem is bombarded with gigabytes of update files. Kappa.

The Linux release, at last. This version brings .deb, AppImage and .pacman releases for Linux aswell as an installer for Windows. There are mainly internal changes, no new features, stay tuned for the next release!

• Linux - Adjustments to run on linux
• Automatic build system - Packaging for all platforms with the press of a button!
• Performance improvements - If you are on windows, consider installing graSSHopper via the installer instead of using the portable version since the portable version extracts the whole app each time, resulting in a slow app start. Nevertheless there have been some performance issues to speed up the app start even more.
• Icons - Moved icon management outside the project to remove unnecessary devDependencies for the build system.

• Error catching - Added error logging in the renderer process

Skipped because of update testing - press f to pay respect

Sry for the mess in the last release, I was just testing you. Kappa.

• Focus indication - not sponsored by ford, but the terminal now fades out a bit when unfocused
• Fingerprint verification - host fingerprints are now verified upon connection - yay for security!
• Nano warnings - since nano mouse support triggers directly after opening nano, it overrides any errors. Those are now catched and displayed as modal instead.
• Current folder button - little button in the explorer to open the current $PWD in the explorer
• Latest connections - your latest connections are now available as quick buttons in a new tab, for them lazy peoplez

• Alias not working - Aliases are now always prefixed with '^' to only trigger at the beginning of a command. btw '^' looks cute.
• Remove path from shell - changing directories no longer triggers a history divider

This release brings basic editor functionality, for the times when nano just doesn't do it.

• Explorer - doubleclicking a file in the explorer or rightclick > open in editor opens up the editor
• History divider - nobody has the intention to build a wall... history dividers now indicate when you switch shells

• Alias editing - Editing aliases in the config was bugged

Don't claim I didn't warn you: this release might add some unstable / unpolished features, namely the new history and the file transfer. Fun fact: the git repo just passed 100 commits, yay

• File Transfer - biggest change first: the new file transfer can be opend by clicking the little arrow button in the top right of your explorer. It enables you to drag&drop-upload and -download files from your pc to the server and vice-vera. Many features and improvements are planned. Be aware: this is not fully tested i.e interaction with symlinks
• History
  1. The history no longer relies on hijacking the prompt_command variable, this has multiple advantages towards the previous attempt:
  2. the init progress is faster
  3. less tampering with server-side bash settings
  4. history is independent of sftp and with that independent of the user and even the bash type
  5. commands are pushed to the history right after they are entered, not after a short delay
  6. commands are captured even if you enter a new shell, i.e attaching to a docker container
  7. enables new awesome stuff, like aliases
• Aliases - You can define command aliases as regular expressions in the settings, one alias is enabled by default: the mapping of 'll' to 'ls -la'. Dont try sneaking up to your collegues computer to remap 'ls' to 'rm -r /', just dont.
• Log - Lumberjacks listen up, there is a log now. Bad jokes aside: the application now logs to a file which could help make debugging easier in the future
• Bug report tool - pressing the bug button now opens a little window with prefilled system information. Submitting launches you right to the bugreport page (btw the landing page of grasshopper now looks sick af)
• New action button: Switch user - quickly log in as new user on the same host, vault usage suggested
• Internal work - minor css, cleanup and performance changes
• Improved bash check - the initial bash check no longer relies on $bash and $shell, as these variables are not always set

• Tab scrollbar z-index - scrollbar was overlaid by the terminal
• Ping bug IPV6 - the ping npm module is outdated and thus the v6: false option was not default
• Added tenex shell - added tcsh as bash type, for dem strato users

What happened to 1.0.7? nobody will ever know..

• Ditched icomoon - you won't notice this hopefully but it makes developement much easier
• Reduced build size - .exe size is a bit smaller despite the new icon generation thanks to removing the 5MB request module
• Updated license - grasshopper is now GPL-3.0+, yay for legal stuff
• Tooltips! - you now see what each button does, so you don't rm -rf / by accident, this also applies to the update button
• Moar tabs - tabs now have a context menu that currently only contains the duplicate function
• Less tabs - tabs now can be closes via middleclick

• Improved modals - error modals now stay inside a connection tab instead of plopping up on top of everything
• Tab status indicator - tabs now have a little colored dot to mitigate the schrödingers-tab issue
• Search - The search is no longer triggered via ctrl-f by default, in case this shortcut is used in your shell for shutting down your server or something like that. It can still be enabled in the config.

Whoop whoop houston we have a changelog

• Improved connection close handling - your tab stays open when the server hamster dies
• Added indicator for ssh activity - so you know if the log is still scrolling or frozen
• Added indicator for connection loss - because the ssh2 package only notifies connection loss when the next keepalive package fails.. which is every 4 minutes or so
• Improved enter-ness - the tab form now submits in every field when you press enter
• Added changelog link in the app menu - which is located in the top left of your app, which might be the thing that brought you here.. hi btw, did you know we have a changelog now?
