Changelog

Release notes

New features, improvements, and fixes in every TailMux release.

Markdown

v0.1.3 Current

  • Added an account renewal flow to extend update eligibility by one year, with live localized pricing.
  • Improved entitlement synchronization across the app, account page, versioned downloads, and updater after a renewal.
  • Release downloads and integrity metadata are now version-specific, keeping each eligible version and its verification files available over time.

v0.1.2

  • Improved first-launch reliability and recovery when the local TailMux service is still starting or needs to be restarted.
  • Activity Log now preserves a stable scrollable history, rotates redacted events, supports one-click copying, reports more useful startup and health information, and suppresses repetitive PAC and license-status noise.
  • Support logs now use privacy-safe stable aliases and correlation identifiers while redacting configured profile and tunnel names.
  • App and service now expose the same Git-derived build ID, making it easier to identify the exact installed build during troubleshooting.

v0.1.1

  • The menu-bar panel now sizes itself to its content and only scrolls when the available screen height requires it; larger tunnel configurations switch to a compact total, active, and inactive summary with direct access to Manage Tunnels.
  • Right-click or Control-click the TailMux menu-bar icon to open Options, About, or Quit, and use the configurable global shortcut to bring Options forward.
  • TailMux now stays running after its windows are closed and exits only when you explicitly choose Quit.
  • Embedded profiles now pick up peers that join or leave a tailnet without waiting for a router restart or manual refresh, keeping MagicDNS and peer routes current.
  • Release notes and product improvements are now available from the public changelog at tailmux.app/changelog.

v0.1.0

  • Service Tunnels: expose a database, RDP, or SMB service on a fixed 127.0.0.1 port through the profile you choose — managed from the app's new Tunnels page or tailmux tunnel, with live start/stop and no router restart.
  • Tunnels can forward through an SSH bastion for services only reachable inside the remote network, authenticating with your ssh-agent, a key file, or a password stored in the macOS Keychain.
  • Errored tunnels show a retry button in the menu bar and the Tunnels page that bounces the tunnel and clears the error.
  • New tailmux ssh <host>: an interactive SSH session routed through the profile that owns the hostname — no ProxyCommand to write.
  • Install with Homebrew: brew install --cask cq-fabrication/tap/tailmux on macOS, or the cq-fabrication/tap/tailmux formula for the Linux CLI.
  • CLI commands (connect, tunnel, ssh, diag fetch) now start only the profile that owns the target instead of every configured profile, and reuse a running TailMux service instead of cold-starting embedded profiles.
  • tailmux up refuses to start while a TailMux service is already running, and tailmux dns query resolves through the running service's control API.
  • The menu bar icon now pulses while profiles are still connecting at launch instead of flashing an alert badge, and turns green on its own within seconds.
  • Polished the quit dialog and unified the warning banner style across the app.
  • Routed HTTP, HTTPS CONNECT, and tailmux connect through profile SOCKS5 tunnels to reduce streaming and SSE latency.
  • Added tailmux diag path for route, profile status, DERP/direct ping, optional netcheck, and HTTP timing diagnostics.
  • Added tailmux profile login --hostname, tailmux profile login --reset, and tailmux profile logout.
  • Added explicit TailMux profile device hostnames for clear Tailscale approval names.
  • Changed generated profile defaults to fixed unique UDP ports for more stable peer-to-peer path discovery.
  • Updated example configs and tailmux init output to use backend: "tsnet" as the recommended starting point.
  • Reworked documentation around the current embedded tsnet architecture, Safari PAC setup, diagnostics, performance findings, GUI/TUI roadmap, and custom-domain routing aliases, and documented the macOS clean login and node-key recovery procedure.
