# LOGAR Release Notes

## [v0.3.4.2] - 2026-09-30

### 🔒 Exclusive Hardware Host-Binding & Reassignment Controls
- **Automated Host Binding on First Activation**: Licenses now automatically lock to the specific server hardware fingerprint (`server_fingerprint`) and hostname upon first activation/enrollment, preventing multi-host cloning or license hijacking.
- **Manual Host Reassignment Control**: Added `🔓 Reset Host Binding` button to the Master License Authority dashboard (`licenseDetailsModal`), allowing administrators to unbind a license so it can be cleanly transferred or reassigned to a new server instance.
- **REST & CLI Management**: Added `POST /api/license/reset-binding` and CLI argument `--reset-binding LIC_ID` for automated provisioning pipelines.

## [v0.3.4.1] - 2026-09-27

### 🎨 Installer Dialog UI Spacing & Branding Enhancements
- **NSIS Client Config Profile Dialog Fix**: Adjusted vertical coordinates and label boundaries in the Windows Client NSIS installer (`installer_client.nsi`) to prevent input field overlap and ensure multi-line instructional text renders without visual clipping.
- **Installer Footer Branding Clean-Up**: Escaped ampersands in Windows installer branding labels (`BrandingText`) to avoid character truncation in native win32 footer panels.
- **License Authority UI Clean-Up**: Simplified table ACTIONS column in the Licensing Authority portal to exclusively display `⚙️ Manage`, keeping secondary actions (`Reinstate`, `Delete`) inside the dedicated management modal.

## [v0.3.4] - 2026-09-27

### 🔄 In-Place Installer Upgrades & Mutual Exclusion Guards
- **Seamless In-Place Upgrades**: Windows (Inno Setup & NSIS) and Linux installers now detect existing installations automatically. In upgrade mode, installers stop background services, update core binaries and runtime in-place, and restart services without overwriting configuration files (`server_config.json`, `client_config.json`), database state (`logar_state.db`), state tracking (`client_state.json`), or mTLS certificates.
- **Host Mutual Exclusion Validation**: Added pre-installation validation across all installers to prevent accidental co-installation of LOGAR Server and LOGAR Client on the same host, showing descriptive guidance to administrators.

### 🛡️ WebUI 2FA & Telemetry Stability
- **Server Hub TOTP Two-Factor Authentication**: Implemented RFC 6238 TOTP 2FA for the LOGAR Server Hub web portal (`:8443`), featuring interactive QR code setup, secret generation, and secure session validation.
- **Telemetry Stream UI Buffer Capping**: Limited the live verified telemetry stream view to the latest 50 events in the Server Hub dashboard for enhanced browser performance and UI stability.

### 🔑 Licensing Authority Management & Registry Tooling
- **Revocation, Reinstatement & License Deletion**: Enhanced the Master Licensing Authority (`logar.eibl.tech`) with instant license revocation, reinstatement of revoked licenses, and conditional permanent deletion of revoked records.
- **Interactive Capability Explorer**: Added interactive implementation breakdown modals across core capabilities on the public project landing page.
- **Automated Gitea Container Pruning**: Added `prune_images.py` utility to maintain clean container registries by keeping only the latest active image versions.

### 🎨 Brand Identity, Centralized Asset Library & Design System

- **Official Wiki Branding Guide**: Published comprehensive visual identity standards on the Gitea Wiki at `https://gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/LOGAR/wiki/Branding-Guide` detailing logo anatomy, color palettes (Cyber Cyan `#00E5FF`, Emerald `#00FFA3`, Dark Navy `#0E1A2E`), typography, clear-space rules, dos and don'ts, and strict non-SIEM positioning.
- **Unified Interface & Tab Branding**: Implemented transparent vector logos on all web navigation bars and browser tabs across both the LOGAR Server Hub (`:8443`) and Master Licensing Authority (`logar.eibl.tech`).
- **Clean Installer Bitmaps**: Regenerated 24-bit RGB header bitmaps with seamless white backgrounds (`#FFFFFF`) matching native Windows Inno Setup wizard dialogs.
- **Automated Asset Pipeline**: Enhanced `compilation/generate_branding_assets.py` to deterministically compile and distribute assets across main repo, compilation subdirectories, and the licensing submodule without third-party graphics dependencies.
