SurfManager 2.6.1 Final

[2.6.1] - 2026-02-08 Final build for v2

Summary

Reset and restore behavior update focused on account management flow and safer addon restore UX.

Added

• Reset tab now shows a mode selector modal with:
  • Full Reset
  • Remove Account Only
• Added backend API: ResetAccountOnly(appKey)

Changed

• RestoreAddonOnly no longer closes/kills the target app.
• Remove Account Only now removes known account files directly (no dependency on app backup_items config):
  • User/globalStorage/state.vscdb
  • User/globalStorage/state.vscdb.backup
  • User/globalStorage/storage.json
• Remove Account Only does not create auto-backup.

Fixed

• Fixed failure case: no account-only backup items configured for <app> during Remove Account Only.

SurfManager 2.5.0 - Performance and realibility

[2.5.0] - 2026-02-07

Summary

Major performance optimization release with loading animations. Backup/restore operations are now 3-5x faster, session listing is instant, and all action buttons now show loading feedback.

✨ New Features

Loading Animations

• All action buttons now display a spinning loader during operations
• Dynamic button text shows current state (e.g., "Resetting...", "Creating...", "Deleting...")
• Buttons are disabled during loading to prevent double-clicks

Reset Tab Loading States

• Reset button: spinner + "Resetting..." during reset operation
• Addons button: spinner + "Deleting..." during addon folder deletion
• New ID button: spinner + "Generating..." during machine ID generation
• Kill button: spinner + "Stopping..." during app termination
• Launch button: spinner + "Launching..." during app launch

Sessions Tab Loading States

• Create Backup button: spinner + "Creating..." during backup creation
• Kill and Continue button: spinner + "Processing..." during kill + backup
• Restore Session (context menu): spinner + "Restoring..." during restore
• Delete button (per row): spinner + "Deleting..." during session deletion

Config Tab Loading States

• Save button: spinner + "Saving..." during app configuration save
• Delete button: spinner during app deletion
• Active/Inactive toggle: spinner during status change

🚀 Performance Improvements

Parallel File Copying

• Backup and restore now use a worker pool with all available CPU cores
• Each worker uses optimized 4MB I/O buffers for maximum throughput
• File operations run concurrently instead of sequentially

Streaming Hash Computation

• Files are hashed while being copied using io.TeeReader
• Eliminates the previous double-read pattern (copy then hash)
• Reduces I/O by 50% during backup operations

Cached Metadata

• Session size and file count now stored in .backup_meta.json
• Session listing no longer walks directory trees to calculate size
• Session list loads instantly regardless of backup size

Lazy Hash Verification

• Hash verification removed from session listing (was blocking UI)
• New on-demand VerifySessionIntegrity API for explicit integrity checks
• Corrupted status no longer computed at list time

✨ New Features

Backend

• Added VerifySessionIntegrity(appKey, sessionName) API for on-demand backup verification
• Enhanced metadata schema with hash_version, size, and file_count fields
• New v2 hash algorithm matching streaming computation

📝 Technical Changes

New Types

• CopyJob - represents a file copy operation with source, destination, and relative path
• FileCopyResult - holds copy result including size, hash, and error status
• BackupMetadata - full metadata structure with cached values

New Functions

• copyFileStreaming() - copies files while computing SHA256 in single pass
• copyWithWorkerPool() - parallel file copying with worker pool
• collectCopyJobs*() - job collection helpers for items and addons
• computeHashFromResults() - aggregate hash from sorted file results
• readBackupMetadataFull() - reads full metadata including cached size
• computeBackupHashV2() - v2 hash algorithm for new backups

🔄 Backwards Compatibility

• Old backups without cached size fall back to directory walk
• Old hash format (v1) automatically detected and verified correctly
• No migration required - old backups work seamlessly
