AetherRoute 1.0.38

Build 2026093006 · Sep 30, 2026 · Apple silicon · macOS 15+

Adds in-app help for the network engines and DNS settings so choosing between Transparent Proxy and TUN is easy, a current-node latency test on Overview, and menu bar guidance when there is no profile or a connection fails. The network engine and extensions are unchanged from 1.0.37; verified across the Tart VM matrix and physical Apple Silicon hardware.

In-App Help

A “?” next to network engine and DNS settings explains each option and when to use it, with a link to the website.

Smoother Interface

Click the exit latency on Overview to re-test the current node; the menu bar guides you to add a profile and explains failed connections.
Routing mode and network engine keep the native translucent look with a dot marking the selection; About adds the website introduction and links.

Rigorous Full-Matrix & Physical Validation

Passed all 6 dimensions of the Tart VM matrix (TUN/Transparent x Rule/Global/Direct) and physical Mac mini dual-engine on-device verification (large upload, idle reuse, and SNI recovery all passing).
Built with the standard production core, Developer ID signed and Apple notarized (App + DMG stapled), for macOS 15+ on Apple Silicon.
