v0.7.6

Released

Oct 3, 2026

community

Released

· Added separate minimum and maximum RAM controls.
· RAM allocation is bounded by total physical RAM, not momentary free RAM.

Servers Hub and persistence

· Rebuilt Servers into a dense searchable/filterable table.

· Start as the primary accent action;
· Open folder as a secondary action;
· Delete as a destructive action.
· Fixed the critical bug where starting one server could make other servers disappear from the All filter.
· Fixed server catalogue race conditions by reconciling repository snapshots instead of clearing/rebuilding the UI collection.
· Added defensive deduplication by server ID and normalized physical directory.
· Fixed a WPF ListCollectionView first-load race that could temporarily display the same server row twice until the next refresh.
· Fixed first-navigation list flicker/ghost rows.
· Kept IServerRepository/ListAsync as the authoritative catalogue source.
· External server.properties changes now synchronize operational metadata such as server-port back into TuffNode.
· Import/reconnect/reload flows now pick up externally changed server ports and refresh the UI.

Workspace and administration

· Reworked server settings and provider-aware configuration editing.
· Added provider-aware raw configuration discovery for Paper, Purpur, Spigot/CraftBukkit, Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

· Notification history is capped at 150 items.
· Added Mark all as read, Clear all and Silent Mode.
· Added notifications for:
· backup success/failure;
· unexpected server exits;

· Hardened server deletion when Java/JAR files remain temporarily locked.
· Added retry handling for locked-file directory deletion.
· Fatal runtime conditions remain fatal instead of being incorrectly swallowed.
· Error details are written to the TuffNode local application log.
