Changelog

All notable changes to NetMedic will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[1.0.1b1] — 2026-05-01 — preview / beta

Preview release. First step toward cross-platform support and pip distribution; do not use on production-critical machines yet.

Added

  • pyproject.toml with two console-script entry points: netmedic and nm so the tool can be installed via pip install netmedic and invoked from anywhere on PATH.
  • Cross-platform user-data layout: language / country / scope / IPv6 preference and DNS backups now live in $NETMEDIC_HOME (default ~/.netmedic). Survives pip install -U upgrades and works after pip install into a non-writable site-packages.
  • Bundled locale files: locales/ moved to netmedic/locales/ so the JSONs ship inside the wheel.
  • POSIX privilege check: is_admin() now also checks geteuid() == 0 on macOS / Linux so the helper works on every supported platform once the backends land.
  • nm short alias for the launcher: nm and netmedic are exact synonyms.

Changed

  • Banner shows only the active locale's tagline instead of all six. app.tagline is read from the currently-loaded locale JSON.
  • Banner version label now uses the human-friendly __display_version__ (1.0.1 preview beta1) while the PEP 440 __version__ (1.0.1b1) is what wheels / PyPI see.

Fixed

  • NRPT rule listing previously serialized System.Net.IPAddress objects as raw CIM dicts ({"Address": 84215263, ...}) which was unreadable. Both fix.nrpt.list_rules and fix.backup.backup_dns now project IPAddressToString so the JSON we emit and store is plain dotted-quad strings.

Platform status

Still Windows-only at runtime; macOS / Linux backends remain stubs (see ROADMAP.md). The package itself imports cleanly on every OS so contributors can develop the cross-platform bits without a Windows VM.

[1.0.0] — 2026-05-01

First public release.

Added

  • Interactive Rich-rendered launcher (python run.py with no args). First-run wizard asks for UI language and country/region; subsequent runs reuse the saved choice (Enter accepts current).
  • Auto dependency bootstrap. If dnspython / rich / typer / httpx / h2 are missing, run.py prompts, pip-installs, and re-execs itself.
  • 14-item numbered menu with localized name + summary + admin badge per item.
  • Country / region presets (netmedic/data/countries.py): AUTO, CN, JP, TW, HK, KR, US, EU, RU, SG.
  • DoH scope selector (country / country+majors / all) with persistent default in user config.
  • IPv6 DoH consent prompt when v6 is reachable — gives the user a chance to skip even when v6 works.
  • Router DNS hijack detector (netmedic/detect/hijack.py).
  • Five-layer outage diagnosis chain (netmedic/detect/outage.py) — Loopback → Gateway → Internet → DNS → HTTPS.
  • hosts file repair (netmedic/fix/hosts_repair.py) — duplicate / blackhole / malformed cleanup that respects marker blocks.
  • Cross-platform abstraction stub (platform_adapter.py) — Windows fully wired, macOS / Linux planned (see ROADMAP.md).
  • More uncensored DoH providers: ControlD (free unfiltered), Mullvad encrypted-only, DNS.WATCH (DE), Vercara UltraDNS, DNS.SB, BaiduDNS (v6), CFIEC IPv6-only, Yandex (RU).
  • Multilingual READMEs: README.md (English default), README-zh-CN.md, README-zh-TW.md, with cross-language switcher.
  • Locale files extended with menu / feature / wizard strings for all six supported languages (zh-TW / ja / ko / ru pending the new scope+IPv6 keys — tracked in ROADMAP.md).
  • --scope CLI flag on force-doh for scripting.
  • Persistent user config at .netmedic_config.json now stores language, country, scope, and IPv6 preference.
  • ROADMAP.md publishing planned cross-platform, ipconfig, and diagnostic-depth work.

Changed

  • IPv6 DoH IPs verified against the curated 2026-05-01 dataset (Quad9 v6 corrected, AdGuard v6 updated to :ad1:ff).
  • Minimum Python version raised to 3.10 (driven by dnspython 2.8 and typer 0.25 — both require 3.10+).
  • CI bumped to latest LTS actions: actions/checkout@v6 (Node 24 native) and actions/setup-python@v6 (Node 24 native).
  • CI matrix expanded to Python 3.10 / 3.11 / 3.12 / 3.13.
  • launcher.py split into single-responsibility files under netmedic/ui/ (widgets, wizard, menu, actions).
  • pyflakes is enforced in CI.

Notes

NetMedic is built with JetBrains PyCharm (under their Open Source Development License program), Anthropic Claude Code, and OpenAI Codex. See README for full credits.
