# 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. ## [1.3.0] — 2026-07-12 Named server sets, Claude Code project `.mcp.json` discovery, structural schema lint, and UX polish (Ctrl+S to save, enable-all / disable-all). ## [1.2.1] — 2026-07-12 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. ## [1.1.0] — 2026-07-04 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 pipeline that tolerates malformed JSON.
