# Changelog

All notable changes to **netswitch** are documented in this file.

The format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and the project uses [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

## [Unreleased]

## [1.2.0] - 2026-05-18
### Changed
- **Rewrote netswitch in Python** (was PowerShell + ps2exe). The single-file `.ps1` script is gone, replaced by a small `netswitch/` package (`app.py`, `config.py`, `i18n.py`, `network.py`, `platform_win.py`, `update_check.py`) that mirrors the layout used by `dhcpsrv`. CI now builds via PyInstaller instead of ps2exe.
- Output is now a Rich-styled console (coloured banner, current-config table) instead of plain `Write-Host`.
- The `Update available (vX.Y.Z)` notice in the header is a clickable terminal hyperlink to the GitHub releases page (OSC 8). Modern terminals render it as a link; older consoles show plain text.
### Removed
- `src/netswitch.ps1` and the ps2exe build step. If you specifically need a tiny PowerShell version, check out tag `v1.1.0`.

## [1.1.0] - 2026-05-18
### Added
- Russian UI translation. On first launch the application asks which language to use (`1) English`, `2) Русский`) and writes the answer to a fresh `config.ini` next to `netswitch.exe`. To change the language later, edit `language = en` / `language = ru` in that file — the comment at the top of the file explains how, in both languages.
- Bilingual `README.ru.md` linked from the main `README.md`.

## [1.0.3] - 2026-05-17
### Changed
- Update check no longer interrupts startup with an interactive prompt. If a newer release is available, a quiet right-aligned `update available (vX.Y.Z)` hint is printed in dim grey directly under the banner — no key press required.

## [1.0.2] - 2026-05-17
### Fixed
- Suppress `netsh` output to avoid mojibake on non-UTF-8 consoles (Russian Windows printed `╤Г╨╢╨╡ ╨▓╨║╨╗╤О╤З╨╡╨╜╨╛...` because netsh emits in the OEM code page). Our own English status lines remain; the post-change `Get-NetIPAddress` block already prints Unicode.

## [1.0.1] - 2026-05-17
### Changed
- Dropped the `made by engelgardt` line from the startup banner — keep author credit in the README only.
### Added
- Embedded application icon in the exe (via ps2exe `-iconFile assets/icon.ico`).

## [1.0.0] - 2026-05-16
### Added
- First public release on GitHub.
- Portable `.exe` (~30 KB) built from PowerShell via ps2exe.
- Self-elevation through UAC.
- Physical wired NIC filter — Wi-Fi, VPN, virtual, Hyper-V, VMware, VirtualBox, TAP/TUN, WireGuard, OpenVPN, Tailscale, ZeroTier, Bluetooth, Loopback and WAN Miniport adapters are hidden from the picker.
- Two modes: **Static** (default `10.10.10.1/24`, optional gateway) and **DHCP**.
- Current IPv4 configuration is printed after the change.
- Auto-update check on startup: polls GitHub `/releases/latest` with a 3-second timeout and offers to open the download page if a newer version exists. Silent on offline / API errors.
- MIT licensed.
