Added new localization entries for multiple languages, including mobile navigation labels and input modes (touch, touchpad, keyboard, special keys). This update improves user experience by providing comprehensive support for mobile users and ensuring consistent messaging across various languages.
Enhanced localization files for various languages (ar, cs, da, de, en, es, fi, hi, hu, id, it, ja, ko, nb, nl, pl, pt) by adding new UI elements and confirmation prompts. This update improves user experience by providing consistent messaging across different languages for settings search, connection strategies, and user authentication options.
Deleted the obsolete build workflow for BetterDesk and made adjustments to the CI configurations across multiple workflows. This includes changing permissions from write to read in the release-client and secret-scan workflows, updating the Node.js setup in the web-nodejs CI, and enhancing the rate limiting for RdClient pages. Additionally, improved the handling of return URLs in the auth middleware and added new utility functions for better security and logging.
Apply setgid group-write on $RUSTDESK_PATH for the betterdesk console user,
re-sync permissions after the Go server starts, and verify both console data/
and Go data directories.
Fixes#206

Translate Organizations device-groups UI across all locales, consolidate [Unreleased] notes for 3.3.0, and copy VERSION into native console paths (#192).
Updated CodeQL configuration to exclude additional paths for security checks. Introduced a new file access rate limiter to prevent abuse of file download endpoints. Improved path resolution functions to ensure confined access and added validation in body scalar functions to reject non-scalar types. Enhanced error handling in API endpoint validation to prevent invalid inputs.
Add patch-updates-docker-i18n.js, fix commercialization fallbacks, and consolidate CHANGELOG [Unreleased] so i18n:check passes across all 26 locales before dev→main.
Keep apply-i18n-audit and regional patch data for low-cost locale
maintenance without shipping dev scripts to production consoles.
Add collect-gap-keys to regenerate gap-fill input from i18n-check.
Hardened installs could not replace betterdesk-server in /opt/rustdesk
from Settings → Updates. Add a validated sudo deploy helper, extend
console update sudoers, and sync privileges before server deploy.
Fixes#183
Introduce bump-version.js with CI workflows for patch bumps on dev and
stable releases on main, plus panel and installer UI to choose stable vs
development GitHub update branches.
Security update H-7 runs the console as User=betterdesk, which cannot bind
ports below 1024 without CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE. Fall back to high ports at
startup, add the capability to systemd when .env uses :443/:80, and handle
EACCES on listen without an unhandled process crash.
Added a new API endpoint to retrieve the last update result, enhancing the user interface by displaying detailed error messages for failed updates. Improved the update completion modal to reflect the status of services and console restarts, ensuring users are informed of any issues. Updated the settings JavaScript to load and display the last update result dynamically, improving overall user experience during updates.
Improved the update process by adding detailed error reporting for failed updates, including specific file and service errors. Implemented a function to manage passwordless sudoers for console service restarts, ensuring smoother updates on Linux systems. Enhanced npm installation error handling to capture and log detailed failure messages.
Enhanced the update process to better manage console restarts by checking for blocked permissions before attempting a restart. Added logic to handle cases where console service user permissions are not verified, ensuring that appropriate messages are logged and the update phase is accurately reflected. Updated the console restart scheduling to occur after the response is sent, improving overall reliability. Additionally, modified the comment handling in the dependency scanning process to ignore requires within comments.
Added a new billing service and time synchronization functionality to the server. This includes the creation of billing packages, contracts, and sessions, along with necessary database migrations. Updated API endpoints for billing management and integrated billing checks into signal handling. Enhanced configuration options for billing parameters and added localization support for billing-related messages.
Point GOMODCACHE and GOCACHE at data/go-cache when auto-rebuilding the
server binary. The betterdesk service user often has HOME=/var/lib/betterdesk
which may not be writable, causing "could not create module cache" on update.
Sync console file ownership before the dedicated service user starts, add
ExecStartPre permission repair on systemd, and skip in-app restart when
permissions are not verified so the panel does not die with Bad Gateway.
Use npm install without a lockfile in CI, treat root-owned installer scripts as non-critical update failures, and skip privileged H-7 hooks when betterdesk already exists without sudo.
Hash RustDesk access tokens at rest (phase 1), add SSRF guards for admin network tools with LAN monitoring support, run dedicated console service user on Linux, and hook post-update verification plus service patching into both betterdesk.sh and the in-app updater.
- 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.
Sync all 26 locale files to the EN+PL baseline (3432 keys), add OBSIDIAN tier strings, and ship i18n apply/audit tooling. Improve server attestation UX and convert orphaned node:test scripts to Jest so the full test suite passes.
Merge .env keys instead of replacing files, patch systemd/NSSM in place,
block panel updates when the server cannot be rebuilt, and stop routine
updates from syncing admin passwords from .env into auth.db/PostgreSQL.
Complete the web console locale set so all 26 language files share the EN/PL baseline with no missing keys, extra keys, empty values, or English fallback values.
Keep strict i18n audit behavior and disabled auto-fix flow so incomplete translations are surfaced for manual review instead of being filled with English fallback text.
Validated with the strict web-nodejs i18n audit, JSON parsing for all locale files, placeholder preservation checks, and VS Code diagnostics.

updateService.js: distinguish critical vs non-critical failures in SHA tracking. Server binary compile/download failures are non-critical — SHA is saved so the same update is not shown again on restart. update-cli.js: match same logic, non-critical failures don't set exit code 1. betterdesk.sh: new update_from_github() with git clone + tarball fallback, 3-method menu. betterdesk.ps1: new Update-FromGitHub with git clone + ZIP fallback, 3-method menu. betterdesk-docker.sh: new update_docker_from_github() with 2-method menu.

Multiple updates to improve cross-platform path handling, credential persistence, and folder assignment tracking.
- betterdesk.ps1: Check both console and RustDesk credential locations when backing up; save reset admin password to both console and RustDesk locations, create console data dir if missing, and print info messages.
- web-nodejs/reset-password.js & scripts/reset-password.js: Use platform-aware default DB/data paths (Windows/Linux), consider extra env vars, and default to a data subdirectory when not found.
- web-nodejs/routes/rustdesk-api.routes.js: Await async generateAccessToken calls to ensure tokens are generated before continuing.
- web-nodejs/services/dbAdapter.js: Update assignDeviceToFolder for SQLite and Postgres to maintain a device_folder_assignments table (insert/update or delete as appropriate) and remove assignments when folders are deleted; also fix a Postgres JSONB cast.
These changes unify credential storage, improve Windows support, fix an async bug, and add explicit folder assignment tracking used by getAllFolderAssignments.
Rework password reset flow and diagnostics: change reset-password.js argument order (password first, optional username) and update Docker/CLI scripts to call it accordingly; persist DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD to .env and restart betterdesk-console after resets to avoid overwrites. Add translations for an "invalid_credentials" message across supported locales. Harden reset-password.js with a bcrypt self-test, log hash info, and add additional data directory candidates. Enhance authService with detailed auth/logging (hash type, failures/success), safer admin-hash migration logic (avoid overwriting if admin has logged in), and self-tests when creating/updating admin password hashes to detect/retry corrupted hashes.

Add PostgreSQL support for the web console password reset and install scripts, and improve cross-language auth handling.
Key changes:
- Introduce a unified reset-password.js that supports SQLite and PostgreSQL (reads DB_TYPE / DATABASE_URL) and make shell/PowerShell/Docker helpers prefer it with fallbacks.
- Update betterdesk-server to load an API key from API_KEY or .api_key (key/db dirs) and sync it into the database so Go server and Node console share the same key.
- Adjust docker-compose default command to run the all-in-one mode and point at the bundled DB/key paths.
- Improve dashboard health checks to avoid raw TCP probes in single-binary BetterDesk mode and derive signal/relay status from the API health; allow /api/currentUser to accept POST as well as GET.
- Enhance authService to recognize Go-style PBKDF2 hashes, verify them, auto-migrate verified PBKDF2 hashes to bcrypt, and migrate default admin if needed.
These changes improve interoperability between the Go server and Node console (shared API key and DB modes), add Postgres support for admin tooling, and provide a smooth auth migration path from the Go server's hashing scheme to bcrypt.
Co-Authored-By: MrBrodacz - Design <215021251+MrBrodacz2025@users.noreply.github.com>
Add a new auth package implementing password hashing/verification (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256), a random-string generator, and unit tests. Update .gitignore to catch additional sensitive filenames and to ignore legacy dev scripts, migrations, templates and build artifacts. Remove many legacy/dev helper scripts (dev_modules/, scripts/legacy/, build_windows.sh, migrations/, templates/) and add web-nodejs reset-password scripts and a session secret placeholder. Changes consolidate authentication utilities and clean up old/unused development tooling and noise in the repo.
