# Changelog
All notable changes to **BetterClaudeConfig** are recorded here. The format is
based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/), and this project
follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/): breaking changes bump the
major, new features bump the minor, fixes bump the patch.
**When you open a PR, add a line under `[Unreleased]`.** At release time, that
section is renamed to the new version + date and a fresh `[Unreleased]` is
started.
## [Unreleased] — targeting 1.4.0
> ⚠️ **Using the `ssh-mcp` server?** Upstream `ssh-mcp` shipped a **breaking
> v2**: it removed the `--password`, `--sudoPassword`, `--suPassword` and
> `--disableSudo` command-line flags, and it now reads a `config.toml` sidecar
> file that overrides your command-line arguments. A config written for v1
> crashes on v2's startup. This release adds tools to detect and fix that.
> **BetterClaudeConfig itself has no breaking changes** — your existing configs
> keep working; nothing is changed without your click.
### Added
- **ssh-mcp v2 flag migration.** Detects the credential flags v2 removed and
one-click-moves each into the environment variable ssh-mcp now reads
(`--password` → `SSH_MCP_PASSWORD`; `--sudoPassword` / `--suPassword` →
`SSH_MCP_SUDO_PASSWORD`). Also flags `--maxChars=none`, whose meaning changed
between versions.
- **Sidecar-config awareness.** When a server reads a separate config file
(ssh-mcp's `config.toml`), BCC shows where that file actually lives on your
platform and warns when your command-line args are **inert** because the file
takes precedence — including when a file sits at the wrong, documented-but-
unused path.
- **In-app sidecar editor.** Edit that external config from inside BCC —
pick-lists for known fields, a raw-text fallback — written atomically with a
timestamped backup and locked to `0600`. No dropping to a terminal.
- **Live hot-reload.** External changes to a sidecar (or to your Claude config)
now surface without restarting BCC.
- **Version pinning for `npx` servers.** Spots servers launched with `-y` /
`@latest` that resolve a fresh version every run, shows the version currently
resolved, and offers a one-click **Pin to this version** — with a drift note
when a pin has fallen behind.
- **Permission pre-flight.** Warns when a credential-bearing config is readable
by other users on the machine and offers a one-click fix to `0600`/`0700`.
- **Light theme + system-following** (the dark theme is preserved exactly).
- **"Move to environment variable."** Convert a plaintext secret in a config
into a `${VAR}` reference in place — offered only on clients that actually
expand references, so it can't silently break a Claude Desktop config.
- **Cross-client foundation.** Claude Desktop and Claude Code now flow through a
single adapter — groundwork for supporting more clients.
### Changed
- The update checker is now **visible** — a persistent banner plus a Help-menu
item — instead of being buried in the About dialog.
- Config writes share one atomic-write path; the temp file is created `0600`, so
a secret is never briefly world-readable mid-write.
### Fixed
- Loading a config with a non-object server value no longer crashes, and named
server sets survive an external-change merge.
- Project profiles that share a directory basename are disambiguated, so you
can't accidentally edit the wrong `.mcp.json`.
### Internal / maintainer
- Signed-catalog core and a maintainer-only **Catalog Console** (review + sign),
with hardening of the review gate and a split of the signing keys. No
user-facing catalog browser ships yet.

First shipped binaries: app-icon fix, a batch of audit fixes, and Windows
process-tree cleanup on spawn-tests.
## [1.2.0] — 2026-07-08
Server log viewer, duplicate-name conflict handling, a Restart-Claude button,
stale-file protection, an About dialog, and a notify-only update checker.

Backup / restore UI and secret masking.
## [1.0.1] — 2026-06-29
## [1.0.0] — 2026-06-29
Initial releases: the core `mcpServers` editor with the lenient paste/repair

<!-- Backfill for 1.0.0–1.3.0 is summarised from release notes; the Unreleased
section onward is maintained per-PR. -->
