v2.0.3 — Reliability Update SMARTER ERROR MESSAGES Every error now tells you exactly what went wrong. No more confusing technical jargon. "Connection closed? Please reconnect." Not "NIOCore.ChannelError error 0." DISCONNECT DONE RIGHT When you close a terminal session, it's clean. No false "unexpected disconnect" alerts. Only real server drops trigger notifications. 95 ERROR TRACKING POINTS (IF OPT IN IS ACCEPTED) Every error in the app is now identified and tracked so we can fix issues faster. If something breaks, we know exactly where and why. BUG FIXES Stability improvements across SSH connections, Docker, file transfers, and port forwarding.
