Changelog

v1.3.4 - 2026-05-16

Windows startup listener fix.

Changed

  • Start with Windows now creates a startup shortcut that includes -StartListener when the app is already configured.
  • Tray startup now re-syncs the startup shortcut from the saved config on launch, so existing installs repair older startup shortcuts automatically.

v1.3.3 - 2026-05-16

Version source-of-truth release.

Changed

  • The app, tray module, and installer now read the version from a single tracked VERSION file instead of keeping separate hardcoded version strings.
  • Apps and Features registration now uses that same shared version value.
  • Install packages now include the VERSION file so installed copies report the expected current version after updating.

v1.3.2 - 2026-05-16

Updater restart reliability release.

Changed

  • Successful in-app updates now explicitly restart tray mode after reinstall instead of relying on the installer restart as an indirect side effect.
  • The update helper now suppresses the installer's auto-start and launches the updated tray app itself once the reinstall completes.

v1.3.1 - 2026-05-16

Router log cleanup release.

Changed

  • Router traffic in the selected log folder now goes to one fixed log file: router-current.log.
  • Legacy sources logs are merged into the single router log during layout migration.
  • Legacy server logs are moved into the internal runtime diagnostics area under C:\ProgramData\GW-Router-Logger\diagnostics\listener-runtime.
  • Tray self-test no longer recreates sources and server inside the chosen router log folder.

v1.3.0 - 2026-05-16

Single-entrypoint tray integration release.

Added

  • Optional tray-mode install prompt in Install-GWRouterLogger.ps1 with a short explanation of what the tray mode provides.
  • Internal tray support module loaded through GW-Router-Logger.ps1 -TrayApp instead of a second user-facing script entry.

Changed

  • The main script is now the only launch target for installed shortcuts.
  • Tray self-updates now reinstall tray mode without re-prompting during the handoff.
  • Installer-created shortcuts now point either to console mode or tray mode depending on the selected install option.
  • Uninstall cleanup now stops tray instances launched through GW-Router-Logger.ps1 -TrayApp.

v1.2.1 - 2026-05-16

Startup and log-layout polish release.

Changed

  • Tray startup now pre-checks UDP/TCP port availability and shows a plain-language warning when the selected port is already in use.
  • The chosen log folder is now dedicated to router-received logs instead of being split into sources and server.
  • Legacy sources and server log folders are migrated automatically into the new layout.
  • Internal runtime/server logs are now stored outside the selected router log folder.

v1.2.0 - 2026-05-16

Updater and installer polish release.

Added

  • Check for Updates ... tray-menu action in its own section above Settings.
  • GitHub release check against GhostwheeI/GW-Router-Logger with packaged zip asset detection.
  • Helper-driven self-update handoff that closes the running tray app, downloads the approved release, and reinstalls it.
  • Desktop launch shortcut created during install.

Changed

  • Installer now starts the tray app automatically after install by default.
  • Installer now prompts for reinstall when an existing installation is detected, with -ForceReinstall available for scripted use.
  • Uninstaller now removes the Desktop shortcut as part of cleanup.

v1.1.1 - 2026-05-06

Icon polish release.

Added

  • Custom multi-size Windows icon for the tray app, Start Menu shortcuts, and Apps and Features entry.
  • 256px PNG preview source for the app icon under assets.

Changed

  • Tray app now loads assets\gw-router-logger.ico instead of the generic Windows application icon.
  • Installer now copies the icon assets and applies the icon to created shortcuts and uninstall metadata.

v1.1.0 - 2026-05-06

Tray application release.

Added

  • Notification-area GUI app in GW-Router-Logger.Tray.ps1.
  • Right-click tray menu with app/version header, dynamic status, configuration, start/stop, latest-log opening, log-folder opening, settings, about, and exit.
  • Listener configuration UI for bind IP, UDP/TCP ports, hostname lookup, and log folder.
  • Settings UI for Windows startup, diagnostic logging, theme selection, firewall exception setup, network ports, and read-only log size handling defaults.
  • Background diagnostic app log with size-controlled rotation.
  • JSON configuration file for advanced settings not exposed directly in the tray UI.
  • Log-folder move handling when the configured log directory changes.
  • Installer and uninstaller scripts that register the app in Windows Apps and Features.

Changed

  • Project version is now 1.1.0.
  • The CLI script remains available and keeps the existing menu-driven workflow.

v1.0.0 - 2026-04-27

Initial public release.

Added

  • Menu-driven PowerShell syslog listener for Windows.
  • Residential router defaults using UDP 514.
  • Automatic local IP suggestion from the active default gateway adapter.
  • Live console dashboard with message counts, last sender, last protocol, and recent activity.
  • Per-source logs and server/runtime logs.
  • Rolling log compression with size and age rotation.
  • Compressed archive retention cap.
  • Firewall rule creation with Get-NetFirewallRule and netsh fallback.
  • Script-root default log directory: GW-ROUTER-LOGS.
  • Change Defaults menu for common runtime assumptions.

Reliability

  • Bounded and cached reverse DNS lookups to avoid stalling log receive loops.
  • Hostname lookup disabled by default for safer residential behavior.
  • TCP client idle cleanup for long-running sessions.
  • Archive pruning runs at startup and after actual rotations instead of every write.
  • Age-based rotation uses file creation time so append writes do not reset the rotation window.
