POST/PATCH /api/users accepted peerIds but never wrote user_peer_grants
because get/setUserPeerGrants (and strategy helpers) were missing from
the database.js facade. Refs #380

- Added functionality for safely consolidating legacy auth.db into the selected SQLite database, with options for dry runs and rollbacks.
- Introduced command-line flags for SQLite auth consolidation, including backup directory and rollback options.
- Enhanced admin interface security by requiring a password when the admin port is enabled, preventing unauthorized access.
- Updated related tests to ensure proper handling of admin password requirements and relay authorization logic.
Add Pro-style strategy assign API (devices, users, device groups) on Go server and Node legacy/panel routes, plus panel UI to assign targets from the Devices strategies manager.
Accept RustDesk 1.4.7 empty-PK ID changes on the Go signal server, cascade panel DB rows on client/panel renames, and align Node panel with live events, strategies UI, org address book editor, and device-group accessible API payload.
- Added a modular studio layout with a live preview panel, autosave, server-side appearance profiles, and a built-in theme gallery.
- Expanded Google Fonts picker and enabled custom font uploads (woff2/ttf).
- Updated the appearance tab for real-time changes without full page reloads and introduced a read-only mode for users without edit permissions.
- Improved localization by updating language files with new strings for branding and appearance features.
- Introduced email notifications for help requests, allowing operators assigned to device folders or groups to receive alerts.
- Moved SMTP configuration to **Settings → Email**, including options for host, credentials, and alert email.
- Updated console layout for better usability and removed legacy SMTP automation tab.
- Added `nodemailer` as a dependency for email handling.
- Added a new database table to track read notifications per user, enhancing the notification system's functionality.
- Updated the API routes to utilize the new read state, allowing users to mark notifications as read and retrieve their read status.
- Refactored related functions to improve code clarity and maintainability, ensuring that read states are efficiently managed and persisted.
- Introduced new localization strings for short download links and their hints in various languages.
- Added validation messages for short link requirements, including character restrictions and length constraints.
- Updated existing download link hints to inform users that old hex links will continue to function after changes to short links.
- Ensured consistency across all language files to enhance user experience and clarity in the interface.
Repair the Node.js panel auth path so LDAP/OIDC users get the correct
provider and role from Go: forward authProvider in the database facade,
export syncUserFromGo, enforce provider-bound login, use unusable hashes
for external accounts, block panel edits of IdP-managed users, and
reconcile provider/role via Go API on PostgreSQL.
Redesign the console backup into a complete .tar.gz disaster-recovery bundle that can be restored on a fresh machine to bring the entire server back online. Adds zero-dependency tar.gz writer/reader (backupArchive.js), logical dumpAllTables/importAllTables for SQLite and PostgreSQL, and packs the console database, auth.db, .env, .session_secret, branding uploads, and Go server identity (Ed25519 keys, .api_key, db_v2.sqlite3) plus a recovery README. Restore auto-detects archive vs legacy JSON snapshot, supports per-component selection (database/uploads/secrets/.env/Go DB) with restart-required signaling, and warns that the archive contains secrets. EN/PL/ZH i18n added.
This commit was made possible thanks to Insolve.
- Added user group membership functionality, allowing users to be assigned to groups.
- Introduced validation for group GUIDs and enhanced error handling in user routes.
- Updated device group routes to support allowed user groups, enabling better access control for devices.
- Enhanced database schema to include user group memberships and device group user group access.
- Updated services and database adapters to handle user group data and relationships.
- Modified front-end views to display and manage user groups effectively.
- Added tests to ensure proper functionality of user group assignments and device access control.
Render language choices dynamically from loaded locale files instead of hardcoding EN/PL. Add selectors on the navbar, login screen, and desktop login screen so users can choose a language before or after authentication.
Persist the selected language in the browser via cookie/localStorage and on authenticated accounts via users.preferred_language. Merge client translations with the default locale fallback so incomplete language files do not surface raw keys in the UI.
Adds a full Phase-52 RBAC implementation and multiple server/frontend fixes. Key changes: new auth/permissions.go with 28 granular permissions and DefaultRolePermissions, expanded 7-role hierarchy and helpers in auth/roles.go, JWT org context and GenerateOrgToken, requirePermission/requireOrgMembership middlewares (Go + Node.js), DB schema & adapter changes for role_permissions and is_server_admin, org role boundary checks and peer org scoping, and guards for last-admin demotion and self-demotion. Also: TCP EOF/connection-reset log filtering in signal/relay servers, improved startup banner port display, KEYS_PATH auto-detect warning, CSS hover/transition layout fixes, admin password race mitigation, ID-change ghost peer cleanup, added Tauri ACL schema files, and a new RBAC_PHASE52.md doc. Misc: numerous web-nodejs i18n, CSS, JS and route updates and an updated .github/copilot-instructions.md timestamp/summary.
Make TCP and WebSocket signal handling consistent with UDP by sending immediate PunchHoleResponse/RelayResponse (including signed PK, socket_addr, relay server and NAT type) to initiators; add ForceRelay/AlwaysUseRelay handling and ensure WS uses TCP handler. Sign peer PKs for E2E verification and keep TCP keep-alive behavior for later updates.
Refactor web-nodejs branding and backup/database code: introduce async branding cache (loadBranding) and async save/reset/import APIs, add branding_config table and DB adapter methods (SQLite/Postgres) plus backup helper methods (getAllUsersForBackup, getAllAddressBooks, restoreUsers, getBackupStats). Update routes/services to use new async DB APIs, warm branding cache at server startup, and adjust heartbeat/register flows to use db helpers. Minor server error page i18n fallbacks and hbbs backend compatibility guard updated.
Also update docs (.github/copilot-instructions.md) to record the TCP signaling fix and Phase 7 resolution.

Convert many Express route handlers and helper functions to async and await database calls (e.g. getAccessToken, touchAccessToken, getPeerById, getDevice, getPeerSysinfo, upsertPeerSysinfo, logAction, insertAudit*, getAll*/count* etc.). Also made identifyDevice and several route callbacks async, adjusted session.regenerate callback to use async logging, and replaced db.getDatabase() usage with db.getDb() where applicable. These changes ensure DB operations complete before responding and reduce race conditions/unhandled-promise behavior across numerous route files (activity, auth, automation, bd-api, devices, folders, i18n, inventory, registration, remote, rustdesk-api, and related route handlers).

Add a new betterdesk-server Go codebase (server, api, auth, db, relay, signal, metrics, audit, ratelimit, proto, tools, tests) and related deployment/migration scripts. Add a comprehensive SECURITY_AUDIT_2026-03-01 report and .gitattributes; update copilot-instructions (ALL-IN-ONE v2.4.0), README, VERSION, Dockerfiles, scripts, docker-compose and entrypoint. Large updates to web-nodejs (translations, routes, services, frontend assets and middleware) and numerous new utilities; remove legacy Flask web files and archive hbbs-patch-v2 artifacts. Prepares repository for PostgreSQL support, DB migration tooling and the new Go server as the production backend.
Release-related update to v2.1.3: replace hbbs/hbbr binaries and update all SHA256 checksums and CHECKSUMS.md. Add robust firewall/port diagnostics and auto-configuration: implements firewall rule checks and creation in betterdesk.ps1 and betterdesk.sh, enhances diagnostics (port conflict detection, external port test) and introduces Check-PortStatus/Configure-Firewall helpers. Make HBBS API key path flexible in Rust (env var / Windows-friendly .api_key fallback) and persist permissions correctly. Node.js console: load .env as a fallback for Windows NSSM, make KEYS_PATH default to C:\BetterDesk on Windows, improve JSON parsing for login/TOTP responses, ensure API routes return JSON on errors, and add periodic HBBS online-status sync. Misc: update server/client API port to include 21121 (client API), adjust docs, and minor service/env environment improvements for NSSM/systemd.

Bump to v2.3.0 and switch to Node.js web console as the primary console (Flask deprecated). Add comprehensive security and feature updates: CSRF protection, session-fixation prevention, timing-safe auth, WebSocket auth, TOTP 2FA, operator/admin roles, address-book sync, desktop connect (URI handler), and SSL certificate configuration in installers. Introduce a dedicated RustDesk Client API (WAN port 21121) and related web-nodejs middleware, routes, views, protos, and client JS (rdclient) plus vendor libs. Add developer tooling and scripts (dev_modules), update hbbs-patch-v2 Rust sources, README and changelog/docs, and ignore Node.js artifacts in .gitignore.
Introduce a new Node.js-based web console (Express + EJS + better-sqlite3) under web-nodejs/ and add installer support to choose between Node.js and the legacy Flask console. Update interactive ALL-IN-ONE installers (betterdesk.sh, betterdesk.ps1) with flags/options for --nodejs/--flask, automatic Node.js installation, migration logic, enhanced service handling and diagnostics. Bump VERSION to 2.2.0 and update README and project docs (.github/copilot-instructions.md) to reflect the new console, usage examples, and Docker/docs changes. Many new web-nodejs files and supporting middleware/services/routes/views/static assets were added to support the new console.
