Update CHANGELOG.md v3.15.15
Merge branch 'development' into QA/v3.15.15
build(Windows): sign uninstaller PE via !uninstfinalize before embedding in installer https://github.com/ivpn/desktop-app/issues/435
v3.15.15 + npm audit fix
fix(macOS/helper): correct is_safe_dir ownership check && was used instead of ||, so a file owned by root:non-wheel was incorrectly treated as safe and skipped the chown -R repair.
docs(macOS): add README for helper, uninstaller, and libivpn projects
UI: Update icon and text for "Unhealthy connection" state
build(Windows): sign all staged .exe/.dll, verify signer identity - Remove explicit binary list; sign everything under bin/temp/ via Get-ChildItem instead of a maintained per-file list - Move SHA256 checksum verification before signing so hashes are checked on original bytes - Extend signature verification from .exe-only to .exe + .dll - Replace signtool-per-file verification loop with Get-AuthenticodeSignature; print one line per file with signer CN - Enforce signer identity in verification: thumbprint must match CERT_SHA1, or file must be catalog-signed (Microsoft redistributables) - Print signed/verified file counts after each phase https://github.com/ivpn/desktop-app/issues/435
(windows) Sign OpenVPN dll-s
Merge pull request: Add WireGuard connection health checker and UI notifications Introduce a health checker for WireGuard connections that actively probes the tunnel state. The application now surfaces an "unhealthy" state in the UI, providing users with notifications when the connection is not functioning properly. This includes updates to the daemon responses, UI indicators, and tray status. ivpn/desktop-app-shadow#207
Merge pull request #609 from ivpn/feature/2026-07-app_update_imporovements app-updater: minOsVersion gating, optional notes, macOS permission fixes (#565) #### - `minOsVersion` OS compatibility gating Adds support for an optional `minOsVersion` field in the update JSON. When present: - The automatic update checker silently skips the notification if the running OS is older than the required version. - The manual "Check for updates" dialog shows an informational warning and hides the download button instead of offering an uninstallable update. - Omitting the field keeps existing behavior (fully backward-compatible). Supported format: `"X"`, `"X.Y"`, or `"X.Y.Z"` (e.g. `"12"` for macOS 12+, `"10.0.19041"` for Windows 10 build 19041+). The check **fails open** - if the OS version cannot be parsed, the update is shown. #### - Optional `generic.notes` in the update dialog The update dialog now renders `generic.notes` (if present in the update JSON) as pre-formatted text above the release notes section. #### - macOS updater: umask and permission handling (#565) - Sets `umask 022` at the top of `install.sh` so files copied during an update are world-readable even when the parent process runs with a restrictive umask (e.g. `077`).

fix(UI): prevent Chromium from accessing OS keychains on macOS and Linux
cli: Print "Unhealthy Connection" status
fix: An unauthenticated local client may be able to crash the IVPN daemon process by triggering a nil pointer dereference during connection cleanup before the initial Hello authentication handshake is completed. Affected files: daemon/protocol/protocol.go daemon/protocol/protocol_private.go Vulnerability type: CWE-476: NULL Pointer Dereference CWE-248: Uncaught Exception The daemon accepts local TCP connections and starts handling them through processClient(). Before successful Hello authentication, the client is not registered in the internal connection map. The authentication flow returns before clientConnected() is called when: - the first command is not Hello; - the Hello secret is incorrect; However, processClient() always executes deferred cleanup: ``` defer func() { disconnectedClientInfo := p.clientDisconnected(conn) }() ``` Inside clientDisconnected(), the connection information is retrieved: ``` var ret *connectionInfo if ci, ok := p._connections[c]; ok { ret = ci } ``` For unauthenticated connections, ret remains nil. Later the code executes: ` interoperability.ClientDisconnected(ret.Type) ` which dereferences the nil pointer and causes a panic.

fix(macOS updater): avoid post-copy permission normalization to prevent daemon rights regressions (#565) - keep restrictive-umask mitigation via umask 022 in update install script - remove updater-side chmod/chown normalization step from execution path - document why normalization is disabled (daemon requires strict rights for bundled static files in Contents/Resources/etc) - retain normalization snippet as commented reference only https://github.com/ivpn/desktop-app/issues/565
