Release highlights
What is new in 6.5.6
Features
- Cloud Console: When enabled, a signed-in browser on alithon.com can view this device's ports live; separate "Allow Remote Send" and remote port-control consents govern cloud writes and remote open/close/reconfigure. Data uploads only while someone is watching and counts toward the monthly traffic quota
- Account system: Sign in / sign out from the Account submenu under File, with a "keep me signed in" persistent session; the status bar shows the account state on the far right and menu entries follow the auth state
- Device binding & account sync: Bind this machine to your account after signing in and keep account data in sync
- Auto-reconnect: Automatically attempts to reconnect after an unexpected disconnect
- Send-frame checksums: Outgoing frames can carry a checksum, with a quick-settings entry
- Receive find/filter bar: The receive text area gains a find/filter bar for locating content in large outputs
UI Improvements
- Toolbar rework: Regrouped by function with connection controls first; toggle buttons now reflect their pressed state; shortcuts completed; the port combo stays in sync across windows and defaults to a real available port; the toolbar is locked in place
- Menu rework: Added a Connection menu, moved Account under File, consolidated licensing entries; completed Simplified Chinese translations with unified mnemonics
- Registration dialog: Redesigned the registration/purchase prompt; the defunct Weidian QR code is replaced with a direct purchase link
- Network error dialogs: Friendlier, easier-to-understand error messages
Fixes & Enhancements
- Terminal passthrough double space: Fixed spaces being sent twice in terminal passthrough mode
- .spu session loading: Port selection and console binding are restored correctly when loading a .spu file
- Document modification tracking: Unsaved changes are flagged correctly; fixed stale state after New and the current file path being overwritten
- Internationalization: Repaired several English source strings and Chinese translations; disambiguated Port labels across contexts
