• Added Chinese translation!
• ARM-based Linux is now supported (via snap builds)!

🐛 Bug fixes:

• Tweaks to improve light theme rendering (for you crazies that prefer the light theme)
• Load dropdown in Basic Response now loads files again
• Migrated the Linux builds to Qt6. There are no more builds using Qt5.
• Fixed a crash bug in DTLS, mostly during socket closing and restarts
• Snapcraft executables are much smaller, assuming you already have the kf6-core24 dependency
• All builds except Windows now builds via CMake. Eventually, the Windows will too
• Dark/Light theme changes are now auto-detected and no longer require restarts

📦 Quick note about the Mac build:

• Use the next release if you are on a version earlier than Tahoe.

📋 Changes

• DTLS
• For now, it is in the GUI only
• Only Windows installations are shipped supporting it.
• For Linux, you must compile by source using Qt6.
• Dark Mode is now automatic based on your system settings (for most OSes)
• Save traffic log as *.csv
• All servers except UDP are now default off (Firewall warnings now only appear when first enabled).
• Windows and Mac upgraded to Qt 6.8.0
• + 2 more

📋 Changes

• Command-line servers! Use the `--listen` or `-l` option
• Upgraded Qt libraries
• Hopefully improved Linux support

📋 Changes

• Wake-On-LAN / Magic Packet generation tool
• Showing full date in log (to support long-term testing)
• A new built-in example for DNS over HTTPS. Note that examples are loaded upon initial install.

📋 Changes

• Bug fix that prevented transitioning from HTTP/UDP sending.
• Italian language translation (thanks Cifi79! #335)

📋 Changes

• Universal (Native ARM) binaries for Mac! It's finally here!
• OpenSSL updated to 3.0.7 for Windows. This also uses the new Apache License, which does not require direct mentions.
• Qt updated to 6.5.2 for Windows and Mac. This should improve 4K rendering.
• The Intense Traffic Generator CLI is now threaded and much faster (Windows and Mac only)

• Thank you to all the individual private donors that continue to make this project possible.
• Packet Sender now supports translations to:
• English
• Spanish
• + 68 more

📋 Changes

• http mode on the CLI actually works now
• Bug fix when recalling http versus tcp/udp packets in the main table
• Intense Traffic generator now supports macros
• CLI now supports macro translations
• fix light mode TCP disconnect
• CLI-only Packet Sender requires far fewer DLLs. Which ones to delete are noted in the README
• Now code signing with a 3-year EV certificate (Windows virus checkers should be a little happier)
• Added a VPAT and Contributor Covenant.

📦 HTTP(S) GET and POST support

• Packet Sender now has HTTP(S) POST/GET as first-class citizens! When doing persistent connections, it will render the HTML response.
• When performing POST requests, you may specify data, and Packet Sender is smart enough to set the MIME type when making the request.

📦 CLI Intense Traffic Generator

• The intense traffic generator GUI gets a lot of use, but it is also pretty primitive. It will stay that way. The command line now has its own Intense Traffic Generator with more control knobs.

📦 Multi-Line Editor

• Double-click either ASCII or HEX to bring up a new multi-line editor. The ASCII version is rendered in raw format for easy copy/paste.

📦 Easier Portable Mode

• The portable version only requires "portableversion.txt" to become portable. This makes migrating to the newest version a lot easier.

📝 Overhauled Documentation

• I hope everybody can find information they need easier. Stay tuned for much-requested tutorials, especially with the new panel generator feature.

📦 Qt 5.15 and Qt 6.0 support

• Packet Sender is now built using Qt 5.15 but it has support up to the newest Qt 6 for those that want to compile using it. The AppImage is still using Qt5.9 via ifdef separators.

✨ New Puppy Easter Egg

• My dog Bruce passed away last year. May his Easter Egg, Ctrl+DOG, that has been in there since Day 1 live on. I have added Ctrl+PUP for my new new puppy companions, Iris and Marigold.

📋 Changes

• Dark Mode for all platforms!
• Packet Starter set! Send immediately after installing!
• Macro send support
• Qt SDK upgrades
• Installer upgrade (windows)
• Lowercase executable (now for Mac --others already had it)
• Socket race condition fix on persistent TCP
• Long-overdue bug fix of empty TCP log entries
• + 4 more

✨ Major additions

• IP-specific port binding.
• For those that have multiple NIC or other complicated IP setups, this should be very helpful.
• UDP flooding tool
• For when the normal send system is not enough, you can now hammer a target IP with packets to see if your device can handle it. This feature is experimental, but it is stable enough to be useful.

📦 Minor enhancements

• Send UDP even if port is disabled.
• Append \r in persistent connections remembers last state.

🐛 Bug fixes

• Packet Sender Cloud is now UTF-8 to handle more characters.
• Bug fix in named packets for command line parsing.
