## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7 — 2026-08-22

Notifications
Kestrel can now send you notifications to keep you posted on
important updates.

Quicker navigation
Tap the tab you're already on to scroll back to the top, or to
step back out of a screen you've drilled into.

Fixes
if saving a new server fails, the form now stays open and tells you, instead of closing as though it had worked.

### 1.6 — 2026-08-05

- Sign-up now errors properly on an already-registered email
- Selectable app-wide UI font, synced across platforms
- Bug Fixes

### 1.5 — 2026-06-17

What's New
  
7 fresh terminal themes
Nord, Monokai, Tomorrow Night, Gruvbox Dark, Catppuccin Mocha, Solarized Light and One Dark have landed that's 15 themes to make your terminal feel like yours. Go cosy, go neon, go full retro. We won't judge.

Syntax highlighting that actually helps your output just got a glow-up. IPs, dates, file sizes and status words like error, failed and ok now colour themselves in as text streams by so the important stuff jumps out instead of hiding in a wall of grey.

And it knows when to back off: full-screen apps like vim, htop and less are left completely alone, and anything your server already colours stays exactly as it is. Not feeling it? Flip it
off anytime in Terminal settings.

### 1.4 — 2026-06-07

Make it yours — Custom Fonts
Kestrel now speaks your language, visually. One choice, synced everywhere — iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows.

Improvements & Fixes
Pro is Pro, everywhere — Kestrel Pro now recognises itself across all your devices, even if you bought it on a different platform. No more identity crises.
Sync you can trust — Cloud sync for servers and folders is more reliable and resilient than ever.
Honest signup errors — Already have an account? We'll say so up front instead of sending you on a mysterious "check your email" goose chase.

### 1.3 — 2026-05-21

Your servers just got a serious tidy-up.

Nested folders — Folders inside folders inside folders. Go as deep as your heart (and your infrastructure) desires.

Colour your folders — Tag groups with a splash of colour so the right server jumps out at a glance. Set it on any device, it everywhere.

Drag to organise — Grab a server, drop it where it belongs. Reshuffle whole folders just as easily.

Smarter defaults — Open the app and your top-level folders are ready and waiting, nested ones neatly tucked away.
 
Rock-solid sync — Rebuilt how servers and groups travel between your devices. Faster, sturdier, and it just works.

Plus the usual round of polish and bug squashing. Happy connecting!
