Jun 1, 2025June 2025 highlights for nym-vpn-client: focused on strengthening updater experience, observability, packaging quality, and release reliability. Delivered Windows updater UI flow enhancements for the Tauri UI, improved update sequences, and refined UI intro flow. Implemented Sentry instrumentation with OS information propagation to enhance crash reporting across platforms. Cleaned packaging steps by removing the nym-vpnd directory from NSIS packaging to streamline builds. Hardened CI/CD with Zulip notifications, pre-release label adjustments, and switching CI to the rustc repo version, plus post-release bumps and dependency updates. Accelerated packaging and release automation with updated Flatpak metadata, Linux installer updates, post-release steps, and automated AUR updates. Added a VPND API toggle for Sentry monitoring and improved workflow resilience to avoid failures in gen-hashes and AUR publish steps. Fixed critical UI rendering issues (WebKit DMABUF on Wayland) and emoji rendering, contributing to a smoother end-user experience.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary for nym-vpn-client: Delivered core UX and reliability enhancements across the Tauri-based client, with a focus on user visibility and developer experience. Key features delivered include the Tauri Notification System with daemon connection events and in-app notification refactor, UX improvements for login/loading transitions, Proto/Core upgrades with resync to latest changes and removal of the old gRPC HTTP endpoint, and a Gateways state refactor into a dedicated React context for tauri-react integration. Network compatibility enhancements were added (versioning and dev-mode disable) to streamline development workflows, complemented by comprehensive daemon logging across grpc/tauri/vpnd and VPN log path tracking. Maintained momentum with documentation updates and platform packaging improvements, and addressed reliability with a bug fix to prevent resetting selected nodes when the daemon is down. Overall, these changes improve user experience, reliability, observability, and development velocity, aligning with business goals of stability and faster feature delivery.
