24.07.003

Released on 9 July, 2024.

Client

Features

• Bowtie will now always ensure there is a backup of the configuration file.

Fixes

• There are new mechanisms for recovering from failed states on the client. The Bowtie client now stores multiple copies of the critical information needed to operate clients on disk. In the event of data loss from disk degradation or program errors in one area, many circumstances can now be fully recovered.
• On Windows, the light and dark mode tray icons should now look a bit nicer with some display scaling settings.
• Linux: if you originally installed Bowtie with a .deb package that contains a configuration file and upgrade with a .deb package that does not contain a configuration file, the configuration file will be restored from backup.

Deprecations

• Bowtie will now only read configuration files with the extension .conf or .toml

Server

Enhancements

• The Controller reverse proxy software has been updated to Caddy 2.8.
