mRemoteNXT

• Attempted RDP redirects (clipboard, drive, cursor). Caused a startup crash — pulled in v0.7.2, being reintroduced gradually.

• Shared clipboard (RDP) — copy text or images both ways between the Mac and the remote machine.
• Drive redirect — a dedicated ~/mRemoteNXT Shared folder shows up as a drive on the remote (only what you put there is exposed, not your whole home).
• Remote cursor — the actual cursor shape from the host, not the local arrow.

• The app updates itself — it checks for a new release automatically (daily, and while it stays open) and offers to install it. You can also check manually from the app menu → “Check for Updates…”. Powered by Sparkle with signed (EdDSA) updates — from this version on you no longer need to download updates by hand.

• New app icon — a fresh design in the Icon Composer (Liquid Glass) format for macOS Tahoe: a tabbed window with a tunnel of connections reaching into the distance toward the remote machine.

• RDP to standalone / workgroup Windows hosts (no Active Directory) now works — for example an AWS EC2 Windows instance. The connection failed at the NLA stage and was reported misleadingly as ERRCONNECT_CONNECT_TRANSPORT_FAILED, even though the network was fine. The real cause: NTLM authentication computes its password hash with MD4, which OpenSSL 3 moved into a separate "legacy" provider that wasn't bundled or loaded. The app now ships and loads that provider. (RDP to Active Directory hosts, and SSH, were never affected — they don't use MD4.)

• Diagnostic logging (RDP) — a new Settings toggle routes FreeRDP's internal log at DEBUG level to ~/Library/Logs/mRemoteNXT/mRemoteNXT.log (with a "Show in Finder" button). Off by default. Helps pinpoint why an RDP connection fails — e.g. ERRCONNECT_CONNECT_TRANSPORT_FAILED.

• RDP/SSH to LAN hosts on macOS 15 / Tahoe — the app now requests the Local Network permission. Without it, macOS silently blocked connections to local servers at the TCP transport layer (ERRCONNECT_CONNECT_TRANSPORT_FAILED) even when the host was reachable. Allow the prompt on first connect, or enable mRemoteNXT under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network.
• Resizable Settings window, and the active-connection badge no longer clips at small row heights.
• Removed the tab-bar scroll arrows from v0.6.0 (they could bleed under the sidebar); trackpad scrolling still works.

• Remember open connections — a new Settings toggle (on by default) reopens and reconnects the connections that were open when you last quit, restoring tabs, panels and selection. Only node references are stored, never passwords.
• Classic tree guide lines — Windows-style guide lines, [+]/[-] toggle boxes and a green "play" badge on active connections. Contributed by @vurmil.

Polish UI, duplicate action, sidebar fix.

• Polish localization — the full UI is now available in Polish, joining English and Romanian. Contributed by @vurmil.
• Duplicate connection / folder — a new right-click action copies a node (and its children) with a fresh ID and a non-colliding name, inserted right below the original. Contributed by @vurmil.
• Sidebar context-menu fix — right-clicking the empty area below the tree now creates top-level connections and folders correctly, instead of nesting them under the first node. Contributed by @vurmil.

No Gatekeeper warning.

• Developer ID signature — the app and every bundled library are signed with a Developer ID certificate (Vtun Hardware SRL).
• Apple notarization — the .dmg is submitted to Apple's notary service and the ticket is stapled, so macOS Gatekeeper accepts it offline with no warning. No more xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine workaround.
• Hardened Runtime enabled, with the minimal entitlements required by the bundled FreeRDP / ffmpeg codec paths (JIT, executable memory, library validation relaxed for the re-signed Homebrew dylibs).

Features ported from term-mac:

• Auto-scroll while drag-selecting — drag past the top/bottom edge of the terminal, the buffer scrolls and the selection extends. Workaround for an upstream SwiftTerm bug where mouseDragged sets the autoScrollDelta but never schedules the timer.
• Configurable cursor blink (Off / Slow / Medium / Fast) in Settings > Appearance. Uses DECSCUSR for the on/off toggle and a custom CABasicAnimation for the duration.
• Dynamic tab title from terminal OSC 0/1/2 — when the remote shell emits a title sequence (typical zsh precmd: user@host:cwd), the tab updates live. Gated by a new toggle in Settings.

Polishing pass — no breaking changes, all confCons.xml files from v0.1 keep working.

Features

• About panel — replaces the generic macOS About with a proper one (author, email, repo link, license).
• Help menu — in-app Help window with 7 sections (What is, Getting started, Connecting, Editing, Shortcuts, Tips, Limitations), plus quick links to GitHub source, issue tracker, and the author's email.
• File > New configuration... (⌘N) — create an empty confCons.xml from scratch.
• File > Close configuration (⌘⇧W) — closes the current document and returns the app to its empty state.

Fixes

• HelpView no longer crashes on first open — the hosting controller now receives the LanguageManager environment object explicitly.

Documentation & community

• SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md (Contributor Covenant 2.1), issue + PR templates.
• README now includes real screenshots from the bundled demo configuration.

Examples

• examples/demo-config.xml — 4 folders / 15 connections covering SSH, RDP, Telnet, HTTPS, using IANA documentation ranges (safe to embed in screenshots).

Packaging

• build/package.sh — builds Release, copies 28 Homebrew dylibs into Frameworks/, rewrites install names with install_name_tool, re-signs ad-hoc and produces a self-contained .dmg. End users no longer need brew install freerdp at runtime.

First public alpha — a native macOS multi-protocol remote connection client that imports confCons.xml from mRemoteNG.

What works

• Direct confCons.xml import (schema 2.6; documented default passphrase or a custom one). Crypto validated byte-exact (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA1 + AES-256-GCM).
• Connection tree with folders, attribute inheritance, drag & drop reorder, original mRemoteNG icons, guide lines.
• Panels — group connections into top-level tabs like on Windows.
• Search / filter by name, host, protocol, description.
• SSH + Telnet embedded via SwiftTerm. PuTTY-style copy-on-select + right-click paste.
• SFTP — right-click an SSH connection → Transfer files.
• RDP embedded via FreeRDP. GFX / disp / cliprdr channels, live resize, correct Retina DPI, Ctrl+Alt+Del.
• HTTP / HTTPS embedded in WKWebView with auto-fill from the tree.
• External Tools with macros (%Host%, %Username%, ...) executed in a terminal tab.
• Connection editor modal (General / Connection / Credentials / Appearance / Advanced) + bottom status bar with click-to-copy.
• Auto-backup on save to backups/confCons-<timestamp>.xml on every write.
• Terminal themes, live-adjustable font size, zoom ⌘+ / ⌘−.
• Bilingual UI — English (default) / Romanian, switchable from Settings.
