Changes

Changed

• FIPS now uses fips-core 0.3.27 and fips-endpoint 0.3.20.

Fixed

• macOS test-daemon installs now resolve Cargo's real target directory and

verify the built nvpn version before installing, preventing stale target/release/nvpn binaries from being copied when a custom Cargo target dir is configured.

• Daemon network-refresh status now returns to VPN on after recovery instead

of leaving the GUI in a stale refresh state.

• Daemon startup failures now write an explicit failure status instead of

leaving the previous projected Turning VPN on state visible.

• FIPS bulk send saturation no longer blocks link liveness/control handling,

reducing false link-dead drops during high-rate traffic such as Screen Sharing.

• FIPS direct-path traversal failures now back off stale recent endpoint paths

after link-dead timeouts, so silent UDP upgrades stop repeatedly interrupting otherwise reachable peers.

• Recently advertised FIPS endpoint paths now use a bounded liveness timeout,

reducing direct-path failover delay without shortening normal relayed links.
