2026-09-26 06:49:11 -05:00 | 20 commits to main since this release📅 Originally published on GitHub: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 12:02:48 GMT
🏷️ Git tag created: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 11:49:11 GMTSMB Network Shares
- Fixed package scanning from the share root so an unreadable subfolder does not prevent scanning accessible folders (#21)
- Fixed guest authentication to try an empty-password Guest login, with anonymous fallback when no credentials are supplied
- Fixed page reloads on a Samba share package list showing an internal share ID instead of the share name
- Added clearer errors for disabled accounts and allowed entering share names when the server blocks share listing
- Reduced SMB signing overhead with hardware AES acceleration and reused encryption setup, while preserving signature verification (#17)
- Build the pinned, patched SMB library with matching headers instead of using an older SDK copy
- Added Windows 11 guest-sharing setup instructions and a host diagnostic tool for authentication, read verification and transfer benchmarks
Settings
- Fixed cache statistics showing zero after reloading the Settings page
- Added a Close PKG Manager action that stops the server process gracefully
- Reorganized Settings cards
Installation
- Fail fast and show a clear error if trying to install a package that no longer exists on storage or Samba
- Show the game title, update version, or DLC label instead of raw title IDs in console install notifications and download cards
- Show the package icon on the console's download cards and notifications during installation
Cache and Scanning
- Preserve the metadata and icon cache across routine ELF updates; clear and rescan only when the cache schema changes
- Switched the Rescan button to run a fast quick rescan instead of rebuilding the full cache
- Fixed quick rescan dropping unchanged SMB packages when a package was renamed or modified, and added catalog self-healing

Startup Reliability
- Fixed startup failures affecting some users by making process discovery safer across PS5 environments, improving initialization ordering, and adding earlier diagnostics and notifications when startup steps fail
Installation
- Fixed the Base + Update handoff so the update is queued by the native installer and continues even if the browser is closed after starting the base installation
SMB Network Shares
- Added guided share selection and folder browsing, so share names and paths no longer need to be entered manually
- Preserve saved credentials when browsing an edited share whose password is masked in the UI, avoiding accidental guest logins
- Treat SMB sources consistently as read-only without attempting a network write-permission probe
Browser Navigation
- Fixed browser Back/Forward navigation so returning to the app after visiting another page preserves the app's main page and menu history
