• Fixes and Improvements

1: New installs now start in Simple mode, which hides advanced options. Hidden options keep their values and still apply. Switch modes through Program > Advanced Mode or Basic Settings > Style > Interface.

2: Throne can now run without a GUI through Docker or as a service, for routers, VMs and other machines without a desktop. Both headless and desktop Throne can be controlled remotely through the Throne API, using the thronectl tool or the library from Throne-api. thronectl web serves a password-protected web UI. Refer to the documentation for more details.

3: Refer to the documentation for more details.

4: The IP Scanner tests a list of IPs for specific traits, such as a TLS handshake or a URL test through a profile, to find reachable CDN or WARP ranges.

5: When enabled, no traffic can leave the device (except some LAN/discovery ranges) unless it is tunneled through Throne.

6: Backups can now be uploaded to and restored from any WebDAV server (Nextcloud, a NAS, Yandex Disk, ...) through the Backup section of Basic Settings. The WebDAV credentials stay on the device and are never included in a backup.

7: The main macOS builds now require macOS 14.4 or newer; older macOS versions should use the macoslegacy build. The zip, deb and rpm builds that bundle Qt now run on older distributions such as Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 11 and RHEL/AlmaLinux 8.

8: Stable releases are now published to Throne's own Homebrew tap (brew install --cask throneproj/tap/throne) and to apt, rpm and AUR repositories. Refer to the documentation for more details.

• Update sing-box
• Fixes and Improvements

1: DNS tunnels carry traffic inside DNS queries sent through public resolvers, for networks where little else gets through. They can be imported from dnst://, slipnet://, masterdns:// and stormdns:// links or added by hand, and the IP scanner can test resolvers for them. Refer to the documentation for more details.

2: The zip, deb and rpm builds that bundle Qt now run on older distributions such as Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 11 and RHEL/AlmaLinux 8. This does not affect system-qt builds.

• Introducing Simple interface mode 1
• Add per-group routing profiles and subscription routing import 2
• Add Web UI 3
• Fixes and Improvements

1: New installs now start in Simple mode, which hides advanced options and merges sparse settings tabs. Hidden options keep their values and still apply. Switch modes through Program > Advanced Mode or Basic Settings > Style > Interface; existing installs stay in Advanced mode.

2: Each group can now use its own routing profile instead of the one chosen in the Routing menu. Subscription groups can also import the routing profile their provider sends (Happ format) on every update; that routing profile belongs to the group and is deleted along with it. DNS settings from the subscription are never used.

3: thronectl web serves a password-protected web UI for headless and desktop Throne, to switch and test profiles, manage groups and subscriptions, follow traffic and logs, change settings, and back up and restore. The Docker image starts it when THRONE_WEB_LISTEN is set, and the deb/rpm packages ship a throne-web service. Refer to the documentation for more details.

• Fixes and Improvements

1: The main macOS builds now require macOS 14.4 or newer; older macOS versions should use the macoslegacy build.

2: Stable releases are now published to Throne's own Homebrew tap and can be installed via brew install --cask throneproj/tap/throne, which also handles moving the app to /Applications and removing the quarantine flag. Refer to the documentation for more details.

3: Backups can now be uploaded to and restored from any WebDAV server (Nextcloud, a NAS, Yandex Disk, ...) through the Backup section of Basic Settings. The WebDAV credentials stay on the device and are never included in a backup.

4: Due to security reasons, XDRIVE profiles have no vless:// link and are shared as Throne JSON links only. Xray can now also optionally trust the system certificates (Basic Settings > Security), and Xray profiles without their own uTLS fingerprint now use the global one.
