Changelog

0.3.0 — workbench

Named site folders, a native session tree, and frames you can dock. Accent colour is for the live LED, risk, and Confirm.

• Site folders — sessions live in nested folders under a customer. The folder you have selected owns the tab strip. Switch folder and those tabs hide; the SSH sessions stay connected. Open all, rename, or delete from the explorer.
• Native export — Settings → Import / Export downloads JSON (nterm_export: 1). Structure files never include passwords. An encrypted backup can, behind a passphrase, so you can move a vault between your own machines. SecureCRT, PuTTY, ssh_config and CSV import still work.
• Dockable frames — drag Explorer, AI, the editor or the command bar to an edge and resize. Remembered as nterm.layout.

0.2.0 — Apache-2.0

The first release under Apache-2.0. Rebuilt window, policy gate, Windows PowerShell, session import from other tools.

• Rebuilt window — a left nav rail (Sessions, Toolkit, Bench, Monitor, Settings) and a session header showing the active device, its vendor, Share and Subnet.
• One command bar, three modes — Do, Cast and Macros in the same box under the terminal.
• Safe-write pipeline — a per-vendor default-deny policy gate plus simulator rehearsal, both below Confirm.
• Windows local shells — PowerShell over ConPTY.
• Session import — SecureCRT, PuTTY, ssh_config, CSV. Structure only.

0.1.0 — beta

First public release. Apache-2.0.

• Rebuilt window — a left nav rail (Sessions, Toolkit, Bench, Monitor, Settings) and a session header showing the active device, its vendor, Share and Subnet.
• Sessions — SSH, Serial, Telnet and local shell, grouped by customer, credentials encrypted into the vault. Drag a session from the sidebar onto the tab strip to open it; a segmented Merge / Split / Quad control tiles the panes.
• One command bar, three modes — Do, Cast and Macros in the same box under the terminal.
• Do bar — English in, native CLI out, with risk rating and dialect shown. Nothing reaches the wire without Confirm.
• OS-aware drafting — on a local shell the Do bar detects the userland and writes for it: GNU on Linux, BSD on macOS, PowerShell cmdlets on Windows. It is a general terminal assistant, not only a network one.
• Windows local shells — PowerShell over ConPTY, with colour, resizing and interactive programs intact.
• Cast — broadcast one command across selected tabs, a customer, or everything open.
• Macros — saved commands filtered to the active vendor. Renamed from chips.
• Bring your own key — OpenAI, Anthropic, or any compatible endpoint. Provider detected from the key prefix; models listed live from your provider.
• Nine terminal themes with live previews in Settings → Appearance. Valeron, the ValeronLabs cyan, is the default.
• Toolkit — syslog, TFTP and DHCP servers, subnet and type-7 tools.
• Network tools in the container — ip, ping, traceroute, dig, nslookup, nc, netstat, ss, curl, wget, telnet, tcpdump, mtr, socat, less, nano, vi.
• MCP both ways — NTerm serves MCP, and consumes your servers.
• Simulators — Cisco, PAN-OS and FortiOS, offline.

Beta. Review every write; this is not change-control.
