Changelog

Latest updates and improvements to StacksAtlas.

v1.0.6

Latest Release

Released February 16, 2026


Critical Fixes
  • Startup Hang (Hotfix)

    Fixed a critical race condition (`PingWorker` vs. Database) that caused the service to hang on startup. Startup is now sub-second.

  • Security Audit Sync

    Fixed race condition where acknowledged security risks were reverting after background scans.

  • Filter Logic Bugs

    Fixed regressions in 'Show Archived' toggle and 'New' filter logic.

  • State Persistence

    Fixed issue where manual device edits were not persisting during background updates.

Improvements & Polish
  • Protocol Quick Links

    Added one-click launch support for SSH, Telnet, and FTP directly from the Device Drawer.

  • Enhanced Security Reporting

    PDF/CSV reports now include Security Grades (A/C/F) and Open Port counts.

  • Permanent Delete

    Added 'Hard Delete' option for completely removing archived devices.

  • Natural IP Sorting

    Smart sorting for IP addresses in lists and reports.

  • Reset Metrics

    Manual reset capability for device performance counters.

v1.0.5

Released February 7, 2026


🔌 Core: The Physical Reality
  • Wake-on-LAN (WoL)

    'Magic Packet' support to boot up offline workstations remotely.

  • Path Diagnostics

    Visual Traceroute to identify latency bottlenecks between Host and Target.

🧠 Intelligence & Security
  • DHCP Lease Detective

    Historical tracking of MAC-to-IP bindings to spot 'drifting' devices.

    • • Time Machine for IPs: Tracks every IP a device has held.
    • • Drift Detection: Zero-latency roaming detection (updates instantly when IP changes).
    • • Visual History: Polished timeline view in the Device Details drawer.
  • Legacy Lifeboat

    Detection of EOL OS (XP/Win7) for immediate risk forecasting.

⚡ Under the Hood
  • • Stability Core: Fixed critical race conditions in the background scanner and polling logic (deadlock prevention).
  • • UI Polish: Modernized scrollbars and layout refinements for a cleaner experience.
  • • Performance: Optimized database lock contention for smoother dashboard updates during heavy scans.
  • • Sweep Optimization: Dynamic ThreadPool adjustment to prevent starvation during massive ARP bursts. Cutdown sweep time from 30s to 5s.
  • • Database De-Bloat: Intelligent sweep deduplication & emergency startup vacuuming.
  • • License Resilience: Graceful offline mode & startup crash protection.
  • • Adaptive Polling: Increased polling limits (up to 1 hour) and tuned default interval (30s) to reduce database load.

v1.0.4

Released January 29, 2026


New Features
  • Network Intelligence (Deep Scan)

    Integrated Nmap scanning for deep service discovery (Ports, Services, Versions). Uncover exactly what is running on your devices.

  • 🛡️ Licensing Resilience

    Correctly activated licenses now remain active for up to 30 days without an internet connection using secure local caching.

  • Real-Time Progress

    New progress bar UI provides live feedback during deep scans.

  • Bundled Deep Scan Tools

    The installer now automatically handles Nmap dependencies, making setup a single-click process.

  • Expanded Device Intelligence

    Added native detection for IP Cameras (Hikvision, Dahua, ONVIF), NDI Video, Shure/Sennheiser Wireless, and Storage Infrastructure (iSCSI/NFS).

  • ⚡ Startup Accelerator

    Implemented 'System Starting' splash screen and resolved lock contention to eliminate startup hangs.

  • Self-Healing Metrics

    Added automated global repair on startup to fix '0% Stability' bugs by backfilling legacy data.

Fixes & Improvements
  • • Hardened Hardware ID: Improved stability to ensure licensing remains locked across network changes.
  • • Fixed 'Missed Scans' metric: Offline devices now correctly increment scan history to reflect downtime.
  • • Smart Probing: Devices discovered via ARP are now port-scanned even if they block Ping.
  • • Deep Scan Resilience: Added logic to force scans on silent hosts that block ICMP.

v1.0.3

Released January 25, 2026


New Features
  • Deep Pro-AV Integration

    Enhanced device classification and icons for Dante, Q-SYS, Biamp, Shure, and Crestron devices. Detects 'Dante' devices automatically.

  • Protected Manual Overrides

    Manually editing a device's Model or Vendor now protects those fields from being overwritten by future automated scans.

  • Expanded Device Icons

    Added specific icons for Microphones 🎤, Amplifiers 🔊, Mixers 🎛️, and NAS/Storage 💾 based on model names.

Improvements
  • • Improved scanning accuracy for offline devices.
  • • Fixed issue where manual edits to Vendor were overwritten by OUI lookups.
  • • Fixed license persistence issues on restart.
  • • Improved network interface filtering (removed 0.0.0.0 and virtual adapters).
  • • Added detailed activation logging for diagnostics.

v1.0.2

  • • Added Backup & Restore (Snapshot) functionality.
  • • Signed MSI installer for secure deployment.

v1.0.0

Initial Release
