ChangelogNaytto
What’s new
What changed in each release of Naytto. The Naytto app on your computer updates itself, and Naytto in your browser is updated for you.
0.1.37
- Linux: With sign-in screen access on, browsers can use a GNOME sign-in screen again after GNOME turned its extensions off, which it does when its sign-in screen crashes while starting. Connecting no longer stopped at “Waiting for GNOME to show Naytto’s connection notice.” Naytto turns the sign-in screen’s extensions back on and waits for its notice to show before the session starts. If you turned extensions off in your own signed-in session, Naytto leaves them off.
0.1.36
- Mac: With sign-in screen access on, the app keeps updating itself without waiting for you to choose Update sign-in screen access and enter an administrator password. Settings still offers that update when it’s available.
0.1.35
- Windows and Linux: Connecting is faster. A new connection through the private relay starts about 1.8 seconds sooner, and a relay that carries no traffic is replaced in under 2 seconds instead of 3.
- Mac, Windows and Linux: Large file transfers are much faster on distant connections, and pasting a screenshot no longer waits on every piece of it.
- Mac: A busy terminal no longer makes the app use more and more memory.
- Windows and Linux: Silence uses about a third of the relay traffic it did.
- Linux: A screen that isn’t changing, including the sign-in screen, takes much less work to share, and a terminal with a long history stays quick.
- Browser: The sign-in and Computers pages appear sooner.
0.1.34
- Mac, Windows and Linux: Connecting is more reliable. When a new connection’s private relay doesn’t carry any traffic, the app gets fresh relays within seconds instead of letting the connection fail.
- Browser: If your sign-in expires during a session, the notice now says plainly that the session keeps running but needs a fresh sign-in and reconnect if its connection drops.
0.1.33
- Mac: Remote input can no longer crash the app, the browser’s Back and Forward buttons work instead of clicking, and a modifier key can’t stay stuck. Clipboard and file transfer keep working after you unlock the sign-in screen, and changing sign-in screen access keeps the app online and never leaves a half-installed service. A brief network drop while setting up a Mac no longer ends the setup.
- Windows: An update that couldn’t fully roll back recovers instead of blocking later updates. Terminal access stays on while the PC is idle, oversized clipboards are refused, and the icon by the clock shows errors in plain words. A stuck video encoder ends the session cleanly, and a sign-in screen resolution change can’t crash the app.
- Linux: Terminals start for LDAP and sssd accounts, Ubuntu 26.04 gets software video, Wayland capture uses less memory, and a failed sign-in screen enable is rolled back instead of reported as on.
- Linux and Windows: Sessions and uploads survive a reconnect, and uploads stay in their folder.
0.1.32
- Mac: Switching a connection between Match window and the Mac’s own screen no longer ends it with “This Mac has no screen to show”. Sign-in screen access now turns on on a Mac where no other app has installed a privileged helper yet.
0.1.31
- Linux: When an NVIDIA graphics card can’t start video, for example because other programs are using its memory, Naytto now says so and uses software video for the next connections instead of failing each one.
0.1.30
- Mac: Another account on your Mac can no longer block sign-in screen access by taking the names it listens on. Removing your Mac now always revokes sign-in screen access too, even when removal couldn’t reach Naytto at first, so the old account can’t use it later. A malformed connection message from a browser no longer closes the app. If you use sign-in screen access, choose Update sign-in screen access in Settings after updating, while no one is connected, to get these fixes there too.
- Linux: On GNOME, Naytto’s connection notice and its Disconnect button now show above the sign-in screen, lock screen and overview, so a browser can use those screens only while the person at the computer can see the notice. GNOME needs one restart after updating. Another account on the computer can no longer make Naytto disconnect by pretending the computer is going to sleep.
- Windows: Fixes for how Naytto’s background services write update status and logs, so another program on the PC can’t redirect those writes to other files.
0.1.29
- Linux and Windows: Security fixes to the encrypted connection between your browser and computer, from the open-source library Naytto uses for it. The most serious could have let someone on the network between them pass as your browser; Naytto’s own check that the browser belongs to the session still stood in the way. Your app updates itself.
0.1.28
- Mac: With sign-in screen access on, Naytto no longer restarts it in the middle of a session to update it. When it needs updating, choose Update sign-in screen access in Settings after disconnecting: Naytto pauses connections, asks for an administrator’s approval, updates it, then puts your Pause setting back. Other automatic updates wait until then.
0.1.27
- Mac: When its connection to Naytto keeps dropping right after reconnecting, the Mac app now waits a few seconds between tries instead of retrying over and over. The first try is still immediate.
- Linux: The installer and the app now describe what Linux supports today, including sharing GNOME and KDE desktops on Wayland and the software display for computers without a monitor.
0.1.26
- Mac: Copying from your browser to a Mac now replaces what was on the Mac’s clipboard, instead of sometimes pasting old and new text together or the previous image.
- In your browser: If your browser blocks a copy or paste shortcut, a notice offers Copy here, Read & paste or Open Clipboard, so you can finish it with a click.
0.1.25
- Linux: An Ubuntu 24.04 computer with no monitor can start up with a software display, so you can reach its sign-in screen from your browser. An administrator turns it on with
sudo naytto software-display on. It needs GDM on Xorg and takes effect after a restart.
0.1.24
- Linux: Use GNOME and KDE desktops on Wayland. Someone at the computer allows it first with Allow screen access in the Naytto app or
naytto permissions, and again after the desktop locks or they sign out. Clipboard sharing isn’t available on Wayland yet.
0.1.23
- Connecting: Starting and ending sessions stays quick when part of Naytto’s service is slow.
- Mac: Reload any browser tab you left open from before this update to get full connection recovery.
0.1.22
- Mac: A brief interruption to Naytto’s service while you connect no longer leaves you stuck on “Reaching your computer”. The connection picks up where it was.
0.1.21
- Mac: A brief interruption to Naytto’s service no longer ends a working session. The Mac reconnects right away instead of waiting and starting over.
0.1.20
- Mac: The Naytto active notice on the Mac closes as soon as the session ends, and fits its contents.
- Linux and Windows: Rebuilt with a security fix to how certificates are checked.
0.1.19
- Mac: Left clicks no longer turn into right clicks after you’ve used the Control key.
- In your browser: Taps on a touch screen no longer pick up a Command key left over from a paste on a Mac, and a Ctrl or Windows key your browser missed letting go of no longer sticks at the next click.
0.1.18
- Linux: Naytto now shows the computer’s own screen, as it does on a Mac or Windows PC, instead of a separate desktop. With Sign-in screen access on, you can also reach the sign-in screen and sign in from your browser. Updating stops the separate desktop earlier versions ran, and the apps on it.
