Intqual: all versions and old releases

Release Notes: v1.3.0
Features & Architectural Improvements
- Privileged Worker Process Architecture for Traceroute:
The Traceroute functionality has been fundamentally redesigned to adhere to the Principle of Least Privilege. Raw socket network operations that require root access have been isolated into a dedicated, short-lived worker process. You no longer need to run the entire intqual application as root to perform accurate traceroutes.
- Event-Driven JSONL IPC Streaming:
The communication bridge between the parent TUI and the worker process is now fully asynchronous. The worker streams telemetry data continuously using JSON Lines (JSONL), drastically reducing latency and providing real-time, incremental rendering on the UI without blocking the main event loop.
- Asynchronous DNS Resolution:
DNS lookups have been explicitly decoupled from the privileged network layer. The worker process now only yields raw IP data, while the parent process offloads DNS resolution to concurrent Tokio background tasks.
Bug Fixes & Stability
- TUI Artifact Prevention on Sudo Prompts:
Resolved an issue where invoking sudo during raw TUI mode would permanently corrupt terminal layouts. The application now gracefully detaches the alternate screen, issues a synchronous sudo -v challenge to securely prompt for credentials (if necessary), and flawlessly resumes the UI state.
- Enhanced IPC Error Handling:
Introduced the IpcError variant to strictly trap and escalate communication breakdowns. Silent failures in inter-process data exchange are eliminated; tokio::process spawn failures, serde_json parse errors, and non-zero OS exit codes are now proactively caught and rendered onto the UI dashboard.
- General Code Health:
Resolved static analysis warnings across the intqual-core and CLI crates, collapsing redundant conditionals for a cleaner abstract syntax tree.

Release v1.1.0: The Great Decoupling
This release introduces a major architectural milestone for the project. The internal architecture has been entirely rewritten to separate the monolithic structure into a fully decoupled workspace.
This release sets the foundation for future extensibility and provides significantly richer telemetry data for network diagnostics.
Major Architectural Changes (The Great Decoupling)
- Introduction of intqual-core: The monolithic application has been split into a Cargo Workspace. The core network intelligence engine, diagnostic probes, and business logic are now completely isolated in the intqual-core library.
- Standalone Engine Usage: Developers can now import intqual-core into their own Rust applications to leverage highly concurrent ICMP, TCP, and Traceroute engines without bringing in any CLI/UI overhead.
- Strict Encapsulation: The CLI is now a "Thin Client" that interacts with the engine purely through TelemetryEvent data contracts, enforcing strict thread-safety and robust data flow.
Enhanced Diagnostic Precision
- ICMP Error Telemetry: Previously, detailed ICMP error fields were intercepted but swallowed by the engine. Now, raw ICMP type and code variables from TimeExceeded and DestinationUnreachable packets are extracted and surfaced directly to the UI.
- Richer Traceroute Hops: Traceroute hops now include a dedicated icmp_error field. When a route fails or drops packets, precise, low-level OS/Network error codes are provided instead of silent timeouts, enabling much faster root-cause analysis.
Performance & Quality Improvements
- Memory Optimization: Eliminated redundant heap allocations (Arc<String>) inside the high-frequency probe loops (e.g., TracerouteProbe), reducing reference-counting overhead and improving CPU cache locality.
- Zero Technical Debt: Conducted a thorough codebase audit, resolving all hidden dead_code warnings and YAGNI violations. The engine now compiles with strict zero-warnings policies (-D warnings).
- CI/CD Upgrades: Release pipelines have been updated to seamlessly handle multi-crate publishing (intqual-core followed by intqual).
