Vortix

Release Notes

Added

• Add a CLI-first headless mode with structured JSON output for scripting, automation, and AI-agent workflows, including vortix status for scriptable connection and kill-switch visibility (#156, #176).
• Add the new flip-panel dashboard interaction with animated card transitions (#165).

Changed

• VPN sessions can now keep running after the TUI or CLI exits, so leaving the interface no longer tears down an active connection unexpectedly (#155, #176).
• Make vortix down wait for the OpenVPN daemon to fully exit before reporting success (#176).

Fixed

• Remove the stale quit confirmation now that active connections can continue independently of the UI process (#179, #182).
• Fix help overlay scrolling edge cases, including opening before the first resize and clamping scroll correctly after keyboard and mouse input (#180, #182).
• Harden CLI lifecycle handling around disconnect flow, error paths, and config isolation (#176).

Documentation

• Clarify current Linux support expectations and improve Linux bug-reporting guidance for distro-specific issues (#185).

CI

• Add Fedora 41 CI coverage for cargo check, cargo clippy, cargo test, and cargo doc, including unprivileged test execution for Linux-specific validation (#160, #183).
