Full changelog

What's new

Topology — device icons

Each node now displays a Lucide SVG icon matching its device type (router, laptop, printer, NAS, smartphone, switch, Raspberry Pi) instead of a generic circle.

Topology — mDNS device detection

Device type is detected via avahi-browse (optional, runs in parallel with nmap). Identifies printers, Android TV / Chromecast, Apple Macs (via model in AirPlay TXT), NAS (Synology reports model=Xserve), KDE Connect desktops. Falls back to MAC vendor OUI and hostname heuristics when avahi is unavailable.

Topology — detail panel

Shows the detected device class (Printer, Smartphone, NAS…) instead of "Host". i18n in all 8 languages.

Traceroute — auto-zoom

The world map automatically zooms and centres on the bounding box of geolocated hops. Disables on manual zoom/pan; restores on next traceroute. Right-click resets to full world view.

Optional new dependency: avahi (for mDNS topology detection)
