Vortix

Release Notes

Features

• Add centralized theming system — all colors now flow through theme.rs, replacing hardcoded Color::Rgb across 13 UI files (#109, #147)
• Add mouse click-to-select for profiles in the sidebar (#139)
• Add Wayland clipboard support via wl-copy, with xclip/xsel fallback on X11 (#107)
• Add word-wrapped log messages with accurate scroll using Paragraph::line_count() — long OpenVPN errors no longer truncate

Bug Fixes

• Fix OpenVPN error messages not shown in UI — vortix now reads the daemon log file when stderr is empty due to --daemon --log (#154)
• Fix footer truncating Help and Quit hints first on narrow terminals — critical hints now have priority, with unicode-aware width calculation (#134)
• Fix cursor style inconsistent across overlays — all text fields now use the same blinking block cursor (#135)
• Fix URL import leaving temp files behind in system temp directory (#136)
• Fix race condition where temp file could be deleted before import completes on TUI URL import
• Fix clipboard copy reporting success without checking the tool's exit status
• Fix toast messages logged at wrong severity level (e.g., connection failures logged as INFO instead of ERROR)

Refactor

• Generalize centered_rect helper to support both percentage-based and fixed-size centering, removing duplicate code (#123)
• Eliminate per-frame String allocations in footer hint rendering

Testing

• Add unit tests for rename-profile path traversal validation with rejection assertions (#137)
• Add unit tests for cleanup_temp_download, footer hint width calculations, centered_rect variants, and theme alias consistency

Miscellaneous

• deps: Bump the rust-minor group with 2 updates (#152)
