## [1.0.5] - 2026-08-04

### Added
- LND Update to v0.21.1-beta
- Nixpkgs Update
- Nixpkgs Update
- Update LND REST Zeus Connect instructions and design to match NWC exactly
- UI: Align LND REST and NWC Zeus connection instructions styling
- Make Zeus LND REST instructions coherent with NWC Zeus connect guide
- Clarify Zeus NWC wallet setup
- Make Manual Backup match the system role (Desktop Only scope)
- Reload Caddy immediately when a domain (or ACME email) is saved
- Unify Njal.la + router port-forwarding guidance across onboarding and feature enable modals
- Enhance Lightning Wallet Connect modal with professional benefits grid and refined messaging

### Fixed
- Resolve 'vdev' version badge and align it under the Hub title
- Align release script with Gitea staging-dev and stable branch workflow
- Auto-detect git remotes and clean up temp files in release-stable.sh

### Documentation
- Write real v1.0.4 changelog and auto-generate release notes in release script
[1.0.5]: https://git.sovransystems.com/Sovran_Systems/Sovran_SystemsOS/releases/tag/v1.0.5


## [Unreleased]

### Fixed
- Installer VM compatibility: legacy BIOS VM boots now install with GRUB, UEFI VM installs avoid depending on NVRAM boot-entry writes, VM users get clearer disk/resource guidance, and the internet check falls back to HTTPS when ICMP is blocked.
- **Manual Backup now matches the system role**: on the Desktop Only role the Hub's
  "What gets backed up" list no longer shows Node / Server + Desktop items
  (nix-bitcoin secrets, `/var/lib` system service data, and the database/blockchain
  caveats), and the backup script skips those stages entirely — Desktop Only backups
  now mirror only the NixOS configuration (`/etc/nixos`) and home directory (`/home`).
  The free-space estimate, stage numbering, backup manifest, and completion message
  are all role-aware; Node and Server + Desktop backups are unchanged.

## [1.0.4] - 2026-07-29

### Added
- **Lightning Wallet Connections (NWC)** — Hub-managed Nostr Wallet Connect powered by Alby Hub + LND:
  - Create, view, and delete wallet connections directly from the Sovran Hub with a tabbed modal UI
  - Downloadable/printable LNURL QR codes for connecting external wallets
  - Channel liquidity guide and onboarding guidance for new LND nodes
  - Unique-hostname enforcement with conflict validation and UI guidance
  - Official NWC branding and logo
- **Version visibility across the Hub**:
  - Sovran_SystemsOS version badge displayed under the Hub title
  - Version numbers shown on all Hub service tiles and next to service modal titles
  - Deployed PHP app versions surfaced in service titles
  - Build-time version reference file (`VERSION`) so version lookups are instantaneous and consistent
- **Automated stable release workflow** (`scripts/release-stable.sh`) with versioned ISO naming from the `VERSION` file
- `CONTRIBUTING.md` and expanded project documentation

### Changed
- **Manual Backup overhauled**: replaced tar+DB+LND archive approach with a reliable ext4 + rsync workflow, including
  mount checks, path safety, atomic completion markers, stale-marker cleanup, and behavioral test coverage
- **Port-forwarding UX simplified**: removed onboarding Step 4 and the misleading local "ready" status;
  Njal.la DDNS now runs automatically when the feature is enabled
- README restructured for clarity, links, and accuracy; added router/ISP port-forwarding requirements
  for Server + Desktop mode; acknowledged LiveKit and Alby Hub
- Updated nixpkgs and Bitcoin clients
- Repository cleanup: removed unused `.github`, `.tests`, `nix/`, and `docs/ai` directories

### Fixed
- NWC wallet certificate path wiring (now uses the nix-bitcoin LND cert path)
- Deterministic LND/Alby Hub port collision
- Alby Hub executable resolution and v1.23.0 patches regenerated against exact upstream source
- Manual Backup exit-code failures (bash/gawk in service PATH, tar tolerance, flock, browser-cache exclusions)
- rsync destination-directory failures in backups (auto `mkdir -p`, mount check, 19 behavioral tests)
- `sovran-hosts-update` converted to `writeShellApplication` with explicit runtime inputs
- Incorrect `lib.mkIf` usage in the NWC wallets module
- Duplicate systemd LND strings
- `git fetch` tag-clobber errors against Gitea (now uses `--force`)

### Security
- Hardened Lightning Wallet Connections (NWC): restricted `ReadOnlyPaths` for the unlock password,
  fixed an Authorization-header bug, eliminated stack-trace exposure flagged by CodeQL,
  and tightened credential access and amount validation
