24.07.002

Released on 5 July, 2024.

Client

Fixes

• Version 24.06.003 introduced DNS health checking. One endpoint/check pair was dns-upstream-test.bowtie.works pointed at TEST-NET-3 addresses in RFC1918 space. This was found to be filtered by some DNS providers, erroneously suggesting that DNS was failing and Bowtie would refuse to install DNS. Now two addresses are checked for static upstream responses: dns9.quad9.net & dns.msftncsi.com

Features

• On Windows, the Bowtie tray icon will now automatically change its appearance when the Windows color mode setting is changed between dark and light.

Server

Fixes

• Errors in task execution would sometimes cause a panic. They now are handled correctly.
• Controller backup and restore operations were not capturing reverse proxy material like Caddy configuration and TLS certificates. This update improves the backup service to include these services and files.

Features

• A new Web GUI has shipped. Includes several new features including better live input validation in many areas. It’s also quite good looking.
