🦥 SlothClash 0.8.0 is out.

⚠️ After updating you will be asked once to reinstall the helper service. This release moves the service binary out of a temporary folder into an admin-only location next to the app — a security fix (below). Click the button on the banner, accept the UAC prompt, and it won’t come back.

🔒 Securityh2

The helper service no longer runs from a temporary folder. The privileged service — which runs as SYSTEM on Windows and root on macOS/Linux — was registered from a per-user temp directory. A non-admin user could replace that binary while the service was stopped and get code execution as SYSTEM.

It is now copied into an admin-only location and registered against that path:

Platform	Location
Windows	%ProgramFiles%\Nemu-x\Sloth Clash\service
Linux	/usr/local/lib/sloth-clash
macOS	/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools (already correct)

Requires helper service 2.4.0+. The installer also re-pins the service in place during an upgrade, and both “reinstall service” conditions now surface an actionable banner instead of a raw error.

✨ Newh2

• Operator branding. Providers can brand the app through HTTP response headers on the subscription (X-Brand-Desktop-*): name, logo, accent colour, greeting and links. A button in the Home header opens an operator dialog showing subscription traffic and expiry, device slots, provider links, and a one-click “copy info for support” block. Providers can also hide non-critical UI — Global mode, Proxy mode, local configs, Advanced. Full protocol: wiki → Branding.
• Custom accent colour. Pick any colour by hex in Settings → Appearance. A contrast guard keeps it readable in both themes, and your choice always wins over a provider’s.

🐞 Fixedh2

• The Connection settings actually work now. Allow LAN binding, Enable IPv6 DNS and Smart DNS fallback were inert placeholders. They now drive allow-lan (rewriting a loopback bind-address so LAN access really works), dns.ipv6 and dns.respect-rules.
• IPv6 resolution under TUN. Fake-IP mode ran with IPv6 enabled but no IPv6 fake-IP pool, so AAAA lookups never resolved. Added fake-ip-range6 to both config paths.
• Suspend/resume detection. The resume check compared monotonic time, which doesn’t advance while the machine sleeps — so the post-wake TUN repair never ran (“closed the lid, opened it, no internet”). It now measures the wall clock.
• Interface scale. Below 100% the UI no longer leaves an empty band at the bottom; above 100% it no longer overflows the window.
• UI polish. The status banner is dismissable and auto-retires instead of hanging forever and raising a false warning badge on Home. Update available is now a labelled accent pill. The helper service version is always visible in Settings → Info.
