 # Changelog

+## v1.7.70-alpha (2026-05-19)
+
+- NetBird is being corrected from the peer/client daemon image to the self-hosted NetBird control-plane stack with a launchable dashboard on port `8087`, a combined management/signal/relay server on `8086`, and STUN on UDP `3478`.
+- App sessions now always launch local apps through direct host ports and carry an explicit dashboard return target, so closing an iframe returns to the launching dashboard screen instead of falling through to browser history or a 404.
+- Mobile app launches ignore stale desktop panel state and route into the full app-session webview consistently.
+- The desktop sidebar now pins the logo/version at the top and controller/online/mode controls at the bottom, with only the navigation section scrolling on shorter screens.
+- Validation passed with catalog JSON checks, `scripts/image-versions.sh` syntax check, `npm run type-check`, `cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`, and `cargo check -p archipelago --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`.
+
+## v1.7.69-alpha (2026-05-19)
+
+- App installs now allow up to 10 minutes for the initial `package.install` RPC to return, matching slow container image pulls and preventing apps from disappearing from My Apps while the backend is still pulling or retrying mirrors.
+- Live diagnostics on `100.70.96.88` confirmed the Gitea install did not fail; the primary registry pull timed out after 300 seconds, the fallback mirror succeeded, and Gitea came up healthy on `3001` while the frontend had already timed out at 15 seconds.
+- Gitea and other Docker-image app installs now stay visible during slow registry pulls instead of being marked as failed by the browser before backend install progress can complete.
+- Gitea is now categorized as a known Data app in My Apps, so a running Gitea container appears with installed apps instead of being filtered into the Websites/Services split.
+- NetBird `0.71.2` is now available in the app catalog and fallback marketplace data as a recommended networking app using the official `docker.io/netbirdio/netbird:0.71.2` image.
+- NetBird installs get persistent state under `/var/lib/archipelago/netbird`, `NET_ADMIN`/`NET_RAW`, `/dev/net/tun`, `slirp4netns`, image-version pinning, backend metadata, and health checks through `netbird status`.
+- The Archipelago terminal now includes `nano` on new disk installs and ISO builds, and self-update installs it on existing nodes if it is missing.
+- Validation passed with catalog JSON checks, shell syntax checks, `npm run type-check`, `cargo fmt --all --check --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`, and `cargo check -p archipelago --manifest-path core/Cargo.toml`.
+
+## v1.7.68-alpha (2026-05-19)
+
+- BTCPay Server now ships on the official `docker.io/btcpayserver/btcpayserver:2.3.9` image, fixing the plugin catalog crash caused by newer plugin dependency version metadata while preserving existing datadirs and Postgres databases.
+- BTCPay release and first-boot health checks no longer depend on `curl` inside the container; they use a bash TCP probe that works with the official image out of the box.
+- Host nginx now serves Nginx Proxy Manager HTTP-01 challenge files before the Archipelago SPA fallback and is marked as the default HTTP/HTTPS virtual host, so public proxy hosts can issue certificates without hijacking local API traffic.
+- Nginx Proxy Manager first-boot, runtime repair, and container-doctor paths now pre-create the ACME webroot, keep bind mounts owned by the rootless Archipelago user, and sync issued public proxy hosts into host nginx vhosts.
+- The Nginx Proxy Manager host-nginx sync now skips proxy hosts with missing certificate files and rolls back the generated nginx include if validation fails, preventing a bad certificate path from poisoning later nginx reloads.
+- App session close buttons now return to the previous dashboard screen when possible and otherwise fall back to My Apps, avoiding the 404 page after closing an app launched from an invalid or stale history entry.
+- System Update confirmation and mirror modals now teleport to the document body with a full-screen overlay, so they cover the whole app instead of only the right-hand dashboard panel.
+- Mobile app launches stay inside Archipelago's app-session webview and hide desktop-only new-tab launch affordances, including apps such as Home Assistant that previously looked like they would leave the mobile shell.
+- Live recovery on `100.70.96.88` upgraded only the `btcpay-server` container to `docker.io/btcpayserver/btcpayserver:2.3.9`, preserved the existing datadir and Postgres database, and confirmed the container is healthy after a pre-upgrade backup.
+- Public validation confirmed `spay.tx1138.com`/`www` redirect to BTCPay login over HTTPS and `sapien.tx1138.com`/`www` serve the L484 page over HTTPS using the issued Let's Encrypt certificates.
+
+## v1.7.67-alpha (2026-05-18)
+
+- Home dashboard status cards now keep the last known good system, VPN, Bitcoin, and FIPS values while route changes or transient RPC failures are in flight, avoiding false "not configured" or "not running" flashes.
+- Home, Web5 Monitoring, and the Monitoring page headline cards now share the same live system-stat snapshot for CPU, memory, disk, uptime, and load so the visible numbers agree across the UI.
+- Settings What's New is filled through `v1.7.67-alpha`, including the missing historical `v1.7.44-alpha` through `v1.7.66-alpha` entries.
+- Bitcoin/Knots/Core shell lifecycle specs now match the Rust app config memory policy: 8 GiB on normal hosts, 4 GiB on low-memory hosts, and pruned Knots uses a larger dbcache on hosts with enough RAM to improve IBD throughput.
+- ElectrumX/electrs shell lifecycle specs now match the 4 GiB memory policy used by the Rust app config, reducing drift between first boot, reconcile, and app lifecycle paths.
+- Live assessment of `100.70.96.88` identified the current IBD bottlenecks as CPU/thermal/I/O pressure rather than RAM exhaustion, with follow-up work planned for existing-node swap repair, kiosk Chromium CPU reduction, and reconcile failure cleanup.
+
 ## v1.7.66-alpha (2026-05-18)

 - Nginx Proxy Manager stale-port repair now detects stopped or `Created` Podman records by inspecting `podman ps -a` port metadata, covering records where `podman port nginx-proxy-manager` returns no mapping until start.
