LOGAR Release Notes

[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.

[v0.3.3] - 2026-09-27

🎨 Brand Identity, Centralized Asset Library & Design System

  • Centralized /assets Repository: Added official vector graphics (logo.svg, logo_transparent.svg, logo_dark.svg, logo_banner.svg), high-resolution master PNGs (16px to 512px), multi-resolution Windows ICOs (logo.ico, favicon.ico), and installer dialog bitmaps (wizard_header.bmp, wizard_small.bmp, wizard_sidebar.bmp).
  • 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.

[v0.3.2] - 2026-09-27

🪟 Windows Installer & Web Portal Enhancements

  • Standalone Windows Binaries & Python Runtime: Resolved issues with standalone Windows executable execution and bundled runtime paths.
  • Data Directory Selection & Permissions: Added custom data directory selection during setup and fixed permissions for background Windows services.
  • Service Lifecycle & Clean Uninstallation: Resolved service startup issues and ensured complete cleanup of state files upon uninstallation.
