HTTPeep v0.8.10 Changelog

HTTPeep v0.8.10

Added a dedicated iOS Simulator setup flow for macOS, including booted simulator detection, Root CA installation, simulator restart, and direct access to Apple's Simulator app.
Added setup status checks for Xcode availability, Root CA trust state, certificate path, and currently booted simulator devices.
Added the iOS Simulator option to the client connection guide so mobile HTTPS debugging can be configured from the desktop app.

Added rule-level capture metadata so sessions matched by a rule can be automatically saved and annotated with importance, background color, notes, and tags.
Added persistent session tags and visual markers to the session list, with supporting database migration and session update APIs.
Added strict URL path matching for rule matchers, with UI controls and validation for exact path behavior.
Improved the rule matcher editor with clearer URL parsing, extra domain handling, host validation, and safer protocol/path serialization.

Enhanced media response preview performance for images and videos.
Added media metadata inspection from the Session Bar, including format, content type, file size, dimensions, aspect ratio, duration, bitrate, codec information, and range support.
Added direct navigation from the media resource badge to the response body preview.
Added body file path access for cached response bodies so large media assets can be previewed through the app asset protocol more efficiently.

Improved Session Bar status badges and resource metadata display.
Added richer Notes and Tools panel styling, including better contrast and highlight color handling.
Refined highlight color opacity across session annotations and related UI components for better readability.
Added frontend trace breadcrumbs around media metadata loading and media preview navigation to make preview issues easier to diagnose.

Updated terminal setup completion messaging to clearly indicate that traffic from the terminal is now captured automatically.
Improved the Connect Apps and connection documentation dialogs with better dark-mode behavior and additional setup options.

Improved the license activation dialog with clearer "where is my code" guidance.
Refined the purchase-success activation page, activation code presentation, delivery notes, and comparison table layout.
Fixed the trial entry so users who have already used a trial no longer see the trial request path.
Moved shared license runtime logic into core code so desktop and CLI license verification can stay consistent.

Fixed the top toolbar system proxy switch state when another proxy application owns the system proxy settings.
Improved system proxy protocol toggles so occupied system proxy states are shown as disabled instead of incorrectly appearing controllable.
Changed the default proxy port to 8800 and improved port bind failure messaging.
Added a frontend proxy auto-start failure event so startup failures can be surfaced in the desktop client.

Fixed the Session List context menu action for adding a DNS Override from a captured request.
Fixed free-plan DNS master switch persistence by updating DNS configuration validation to account for enabled state and environment changes.

Fixed Delay action editing so toggling Delay no longer drops the existing value or silently restores defaults.
Fixed MapLocal video drag behavior.
Improved strict URL matcher validation and conflict handling in the matcher editor.

Fixed Session Timing attribution issues around request/response phases.
Fixed session persistence for missing parent connections by recreating the connection before saving the session, preventing foreign-key failures.
Added serialized database writes to reduce concurrent SQLite write conflicts.

Added a startup bootstrap layer that buffers early frontend errors, initializes Sentry in the background, and flushes startup errors after initialization.
Added main-window visibility checks and a longer frontend-ready timeout to reduce startup flicker and improve diagnostics when the window does not become ready.
Fixed Windows startup failures caused by missing WebView2 Runtime by embedding the WebView2 bootstrapper in the desktop installer.

Fixed dark-mode flashing in Rules and Connect Apps dialogs by introducing a shared Card component style.
Commented out the Beta banner in the navigation area to keep the toolbar layout stable.
Improved border styling, panel corner radius, and component color opacity across the desktop UI.
