Encrypted workspace
The local database now uses SQLCipher encryption, covering hosts, snippets, and network maps. A master password is required at startup. Existing databases have a verified migration path with encrypted recovery copies.
A more focused terminal
- Application locking is shared across main and detached windows.
- Terminal history navigation includes section previews and a return-to-latest control.
- Per-host appearance controls cover colors, typography, cursor, and selection.
- Connection status and session controls have been refined.
Everyday improvements
- Updated Hosts organization and network-map navigation, toolbars, and inspectors.
- Improved SFTP lists, multiple-file selection, and download permission dialogs.
- Downloads of growing files preserve their original byte range and report subsequent growth.
- Password changes and credential resets preserve access to the encrypted workspace.
Upgrading an existing workspace
The existing vault master password is used during database conversion. Keep the encrypted recovery copy and its matching password. Older Netrix versions cannot open the converted database.
