Final Update for 2025 🎉

As 2025 comes to an end. I wish you all a wonderful and welcoming start to 2026 and thank you for all your support.

Here is the final changelog and update for the year.
Happy New Year🎉🥳

📋 Changelog

New Features ⭐

• Single app installation via igm install - Quick interactive installation of individual apps with real-time credential validation.
  • Check igm help for description. For now this feature can be run via the command igm install.
  • This feature is useful when you need to deploy a single application rather than a suite of apps. This feature currently does not extent to proxy instances.
• Credential validation system - Pre-installation checks ensure required credentials are filled before deployment.
• Inline app configuration - Configure specific apps without running full setup wizard.
• Auto-organised config files - credentials automatically sorted by order after change.
• Better overall UX experience. IGM will also prompt when there are no applications configured or selected and will inform the user.

Performance Improvements ⚡

• Overall improved performance underneath the hood for proxy installation.
• During proxy installation now has smarter wait between proxy entry installs to allow time for applications to be ready and running. This is useful for constrained hardwares for instance on Raspberry Pi's that's heavily loaded. The smart wait is dynamic, on faster more powerful systems, there is essentially no wait time.
• Proxy Installation - On SIGINT handles immediate interruption and removes proxy applications altogether and performs clean up. For example if you press Ctrl+C.
• 40% faster credential validation - Optimised file loading and caching.
• Performance improvement when running igm show.

Bug Fixes 🐛

• Fixed issue in Windows Subsystem for Linux would have issue installing missing dependencies.
• Setup interrupt handling - On SIGINT message is displayed correctly if no changes have been made.
• Fixes to other minor issues.

Miscellaneous

• Added ByteBenefit to additional application list. See here.

Feature - IP Quality Score 🔍🚀

This update adds a new feature called IP quality score to IGM. With this feature, you can now easily check your IP quality score along with all the active proxies you have defined. It will show you if any of your proxies are no longer available so that you can swap it out for another proxy.

📋 Changelog

• Added IP Quality Tool to IGM.
  • See igm help for description.
  • To run the IP quality score tool, invoke the CLI command igm ip. This will run against your real IP address and any proxies you have defined. If there are no proxies then your real IP address will be scored only.
  • Your proxy connectivity will be tested and will also check for any DNS blacklist and report it.
  • IGM uses the following data query to generate the report:
    • Geolocation & Quality: ip-api.com
    • Blacklist Status: Cloudflare DNS → Spamhaus ZEN
• Various small optimisations in the background.
• Updated License file.

IGM v1.14 Release Notes 🚀

This release update introduces new features alongside several enhancements to the overall user experience and performance under the hood, alongside several fixes.

[ IGM App Display Grouping ]

✨ New Features

• IGM now uses true colour support with fallback for improved terminal display.
• Added ability to check the current version of IGM via CLI command. Run igm help for usage.
• Improved CLI commands with the following added/updated commands:
  • start/restart/stop - Ability to chain multiple applications under these commands, for instance, to restart multiple apps: igm restart app-1 app-2 app-3.
  • igm logs app - See the logs of the application. Logs will be automatically filtered to show everything from today's logging rather than including everything from the last.
• Added proxy application install limit option and integrated limit controls into the proxy menu.
  • You can now define how many proxy instances are installed per application before installation.
    • Example: if you have 6 proxy entries and set a limit of 2 for app a, only 2 instances of app a will be installed.
    • Other applications without a defined limit will continue to install across all available proxy entries.
  • Added CLI option for proxy install limit and can be run via igm proxy limit.

[ IGM Proxy Install Limit ]

⚡ Enhancements & Optimisations

• Improved installed app list display with grouping support for multiple proxies (auto-grouped in GUI). Additionally, it will also show the install count for each group.
  • For CLI command you need to specify grouping as raw display is generally faster. Grouping mostly benefits when view for proxy applications.
    • igm show & igm show proxy - Traditional raw view with no groupings but still show install counts.
    • igm show group - Will show apps/proxy altogether with grouping.
    • igm show proxy group - Will show all running proxy apps grouped based on their installed IP set.
• Added dynamic platform override loading for installing applications. Based on then host architecture, the appropriate container image will be downloaded or defaulted to x86_64 if no ARM version is available.
  • Repocket - Will use ARM version if the machine architecture is arm64. For older ARM based like arm7l, arm6l will default to using x86_64 image with emulation layer.
  • Packetstream - Unfortunately the official ARM image version doesn't really work so will default all to x86_64 until future working release.
• EarnApp application now uses custom in-house Alpine-based build for smaller resource footprint. The only smallest and Alpine based image on the internet!
• For proxy application install limit, any application that has a hard limit install is automatically defined and users installing on the same host can't exceed that number of install limit. This is to prevent wasting extra resource if the app only allows up to a set number of devices to be installed.
• Update config viewer module to use shared colour declaration, now with true colour.
• Minor refactors and UI display tweaks.
• Adopted new app util handling internally and added install delay between proxy application installs, useful on slower hardware to give time for containers to spin up.
• Removed legacy backup logic and unnecessary fields, keeping the code base cleaner.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed setup configuration bug where users reported can't save credential creation after completing configuration process.
• Fixed issue with unable to change Colima's configuration and always defaulting to default settings.
• Fixed platform compatibility and improved overall cross-platform stability.
• Fixed minor display output and other compatibility issue on macOS.

🧹 Other Updates

• Updated CLI help documentation.
• Updated IGM reset mechanism.
• Container platform handling is now more dynamic and flexible.

📝 Update Instruction

If you are latest or more recent version of IGM, you can run igm update to update to the latest version v1.14, otherwise update via the IGM menu. Restart IGM tool after updating for the new changes to apply if via UI menu.
