What's Changed

Security Fixes

Locked-down app launch — the installed app can no longer be started as a plain Node.js runtime, and debugger flags or NODE_OPTIONS passed to it are ignored
Tamper checks on the app's own code — Server Compass only loads code from its packaged app bundle, and on macOS that bundle is integrity-checked when it starts
Tighter macOS permissions — the app no longer honors dynamic-library environment variables injected into its process
Safer handling of compressed network data — remote access and background requests to your servers, tunnels and synced devices now decline Brotli-compressed content; gzip and deflate keep working
Patched security issues in bundled components — updated the libraries behind remote access, the MCP server for AI tools, update checks and app navigation, closing known denial-of-service, address-spoofing and URL-parsing issues

Improvements

Runs on a current, supported Electron and Chromium — Server Compass moves to Electron 44 (Chromium 152, Node.js 24), so the app picks up the latest browser and runtime security fixes

Other Changes

macOS 13 Ventura or later is now required — the new Electron release no longer supports macOS 12 Monterey, and Macs on older versions are no longer offered this update
