Built with the Surge v6 core, synchronizing new features from Surge Mac 6.0, including: - Significant performance improvements to the Surge VIF Engine (free update) - Improvements to Surge Smart Group (free update for unlocked users) - Surge Ponte 2.0 - Multiple Channels (requires use with Surge Mac 6.0) - Snell v5 (feature subscription required) For full details, please refer to the Surge Mac 6 release notes: https://kb.nssurge.com/surge-knowledge-base/release-notes/surge-mac-6-release-note

- Added [General] parameter `block-quic`, which is used to globally override the behavior of blocking QUIC traffic. - Optimized the text and JSON viewer in the request inspector, now supporting large files and code highlighting. - Rewrote HTTP script-related implementation; it now performs better and uses less memory when handling large bodies. - Supports SNI extraction for gQUIC. - Refactored traffic statistics functionality; now, even if you haven't entered the main program for a long time, you won't have to wait a long time when accessing the traffic statistics page. - Added export feature to traffic statistics. - Other detail optimizations and bug fixes.

- Support DNS over TLS. - Bug fixes and performance improvements.

- When enabling the HTTP capture switch, all active connections will now be forcibly interrupted to ensure that no requests are missed due to existing long connections. - Optimized compatibility with some QUIC clients, such as Lark. - Fixed an issue where download data bytes in statistics was incorrect after modifying the request HTTP using scripts or other mechanisms. - Adjusted the priority of processing logic when forwarding QUIC. Now, for a proxy policy that does not support UDP forwarding, it will prioritize considering QUIC Block before falling back to DIRECT or REJECT. - Bug fixes and other improvements.

New Feature: Port Forwarding - This feature is commonly used in development and debugging scenarios such as connecting to servers like MariaDB using SSH. #!REQUIREMENT upgrade - Now provides three simple notations: #!IOS-ONLY, #!MACOS-ONLY, and #!TVOS-ONLY. - Content disabled by this end-of-line comment can now be displayed and edited in the UI. It will appear as disabled when conditions are not met, and if enabled, restrictions will be automatically removed. [Host] Optimization - [Host] section supports configuration using DOMAIN-SET and RULE-SET to improve matching efficiency. Use case: Other Improvements - Added option icmp-forwarding, enabled by default. - Optimize using Smart policy groups as the underlying proxy. Now, in this usage scenario, the characteristics of Smart policy groups can be fully utilized. - Bug fixes and other improvements.

This parameter is enabled by default, and the behavior is consistent with previous versions. - Bug fixes.

- New subscription feature: Custom policy group icons. - Refactor the Surge tvOS profile deployment process using CloudKit, significantly improving stability. Please note that both Surge iOS and tvOS need to be upgraded to the latest version before you can use the profile deployment feature, and the tvOS version needs to be launched once for registration. - When using the add rule function in the request list, you can choose to add it to an existing rule set. (Supports local rule files and inline rule sets). - Optimized behavior when enabling IPv6 VIF under No Default Route mode. - Other optimizations and bug fixes.

- Support turning off Surge via widgets/Shortcuts when the always-on switch is turned on. - Support turning on Surge via widgets/Shortcuts when the Surge VPN Profile is not selected (or when other VPNs are running). - Fix an issue where DOMAIN-SUFFIX rules may become invalid if duplicate DOMAIN and DOMAIN-SUFFIX rules are included in the rule set. - Optimizations related to No Default Route mode, significantly improving usability. - Other bug fixes.

- Now you can see the number of times a rule has been used in the rule list. - Optimized the implementation method of blocking QUIC traffic to increase the likelihood of clients correctly falling back. - The Smart group will use the SUBSTITUTE policy (DIRECT) instead of failing directly when there are no sub-policies. - Fixed an issue where the `server-cert-fingerprint-sha256` parameter was not effective for TLS-like protocols with sni=off settings. - Added a new rule type `HOSTNAME-TYPE`, used to determine the type of request hostname. Optional values are: `IPv4`, `IPv6`, `DOMAIN`, `SIMPLE`. (`SIMPLE` refers to hostnames without a dot, such as `localhost`) - Optimized DNS request logs. Now more information is displayed. Additionally, if DIRECT policy connects directly without triggering DNS in the rule system, related DNS logs can still be shown. - When deleting a policy that is being used by a policy group, it is now allowed to delete it directly and automatically remove it from all policy groups. - Bug fixes and other Improvements.

- Optimize the matching performance of small rule sets, especially evident on older model CPUs. - The external resource update page can display error information generated by rule set processing. - Automatically ignore invalid empty lines in the rule set. - Corrected the issue where applying temporary rules and then experiencing a policy change does not disrupt existing connections. - Corrected the issue when using Ponte policy within Smart group, if the target device is itself, it failed to automatically switch to DIRECT policy. - Corrected the problem of incorrect time displayed in request logs for Ponte device requests. - Corrected crashes that may occur when external policy groups change. - Fixed an issue where configuration upgrade functionality did not correctly take effect for managed configurations and enterprise configurations. - During Smart group initialization phase, no longer displays most frequently used tags to avoid misunderstanding. - Fixed an issue where local script files could not be automatically reloaded after being edited. - Optimized indexing process for large rule sets. - Limited maximum number of files for iCloud background auto auto-sync to 200 to avoid memory usage issues. - Fixed potential UI display issues when adjusting policies through remote controller。

Smart Group This is a new type of policy group, driven by our carefully designed algorithm engine, which can automatically select the appropriate policy from the sub-policies of this policy group. The goal of the Smart policy group is to replace the original automatic testing groups (url/load-balance/fallback), greatly optimizing the experience while minimizing the need for manual intervention in policy groups. Users only need to put the available policies into this group. For details, see: https://kb.nssurge.com/surge-knowledge-base/guidelines/smart-group Rule System - Overall performance optimization of the rule system. - Significant optimization of the indexing algorithm in large domain rule sets, improving the search efficiency by more than ten times for rule sets with more than 100,000 rules. - Corrected the issue where sub-rules of logical rules within a rule set could not be covered by the `no-resolve` and `extended-matching` parameters of the rule set. - Added a new rule type `DOMAIN-WILDCARD`, supporting `?` and `*` domain name matching. - `DOMAIN-SET` and `RULE-SET` are changed to strict validation. If there are invalid lines in the file, the entire rule set will be invalidated to avoid problems caused by misuse. IPv6 - The behavior of the `ipv6-vif` parameter has been modified. When set to always, IPv6 functionality will be enabled even if `ipv6=true` is not set. - Added a warning for the `ipv6-vif=always` parameter. - Adjusted the automatic retry mechanism. Accessing IPv6 addresses in a non-IPv6 network will no longer enter the retry process, and the request will fail immediately (solving the problem of some applications stalling when IPv6 VIF is enabled in a non-IPv6 environment, but the application will still continue to send IPv6 requests). Other Optimizations - Enhanced `$notification.post`, adding support for media resources, sound hints, and automatic dismissal. - Optimized WireGuard failure handling. - Reduced the power consumption of the TUIC protocol during sleep. - Improved the precision of time statistics in the request log system, now accurate to µs level. - Optimized various abnormal retry mechanisms, avoiding high resource usage caused by continuous retry in the face of some specific problems. For operations that need to be retried continuously (such as WireGuard reconnection, Ponte server reporting to iCloud), Surge will now retry after 0.1s, 0.5s, 1s, 5s, 10s, 30s after an error. - Optimized the caching system for external resources. - Added the profile line modifier `#!REQUIREMENT`. - When the current network is found to be managed by Surge Mac Gateway, Surge iOS will now automatically pause. (This can be adjusted via the auto-suspend option, enabled by default.) - Optimized TUN takeover and specific app performance compatibility issues. - Optimized memory usage, infrequently used and large scripts will not be cached in memory anymore. - The network diagnostics page adds SSID/BSSID with copy functionality. - Now, when uploading logs in the log interface, the engine currently running will automatically generate the most recent verbose logs (the new version has cached 256KB of logs in memory), so when reporting problems, you can upload directly without needing to reproduce in verbose mode. - For external resources related to policy groups and script types, the maximum size is now limited to 2MB, to avoid memory overflow in case of configuration errors. Check the knowledge base for complete release note.
