ClumsyNetWatch™ — Windows 10/11 x64 · Installer or portable exe · Public download is now live

Windows SmartScreen Notice Because this direct-download build is not yet code-signed, Windows may show a blue "Windows protected your PC" warning the first time you run it. If you downloaded from this page, verify the SHA256 hash shown on the release card below. To proceed in SmartScreen: click More info, then Run anyway. A Microsoft Store release is planned so regular Windows installs can use the Store trust/update path instead of relying on unsigned direct-download builds.

RC2 - Release Candidate 2

ClumsyNetWatch-v0.9.5-RC2-Setup.exe

  • In-app Send Feedback, Report Bug, and Feature Request - new Feedback and Bug buttons in the title bar open a submission dialog; successful submissions return a ClumsyOps FB reference number shown directly in the dialog
  • Optional basic diagnostics with user reports - opt-in checkbox includes app version, OS, runtime, and scan host count — no IP addresses, hostnames, or scan data are sent; a preview of what will be included is shown before the user ticks the box
  • Machine fingerprint hashed before submission - device identity is SHA-256 hashed client-side before leaving the machine; raw identifiers are never transmitted
  • All reporting is user-triggered only — no silent telemetry added - no background or automatic reporting; existing opt-in anonymous telemetry is unchanged; feedback submission requires explicit user action every time

RC1 - Release Candidate 1

ClumsyNetWatch-v0.9.5-RC1-Setup.exe

  • Windows installer (Inno Setup) - new Setup.exe ships alongside the portable exe; installs to AppData\ClumsyNetWatch with Start Menu shortcut, optional desktop icon, and a proper uninstall entry in Windows Settings — no admin required
  • Dual download on product and software pages - website now shows both Installer and Direct Run download buttons side by side; latest.json updated to carry both URLs and sha256 hashes
  • Remove fragile in-app auto-download - replaced silent-fail exe-copy mechanism with a direct link to the downloads page; update banner and About window both now open the browser
  • Check failure now shows correct error state - a failed update check previously showed 'You are up to date' instead of an error; now correctly shows 'Could not check for updates' with a Try Again button

v0.9.2 Release Pending May 12, 2026 160.9 MB

RC2 - Release Candidate 2

Historical package unavailable

  • Remove fragile in-app auto-download - replaced silent-fail exe-copy mechanism with a direct link to the downloads page; update banner and About window both now open the browser so the user always gets the real file
  • Check failure now shows correct error state - a failed update check previously showed 'You are up to date' instead of an error; now correctly shows 'Could not check for updates' with a Try Again button
  • BuildAndShip UTF-8 BOM and recursive SSH fix - latest.json was being written with a UTF-8 BOM causing Invoke-RestMethod to return a raw string instead of a parsed object; fixed SaveFile to use no-BOM encoding. Also fixed Ssh/Scp helper functions that were recursing into themselves due to PowerShell case-insensitive function lookup

v0.9.2 Release Pending May 11, 2026 160.9 MB

RC1 - Release Candidate 1

Historical package unavailable

  • Sign-Release.ps1 encoding fix - em-dash character caused a PowerShell parse error when MSBuild invoked the signing script, leaving every previous build unsigned; replaced with ASCII hyphen so signing now runs correctly on every publish
  • BuildAndShip pre-flight checks - script now verifies new version is strictly higher than current, checks for uncommitted changes, and confirms server is reachable before spending time on a build
  • BuildAndShip post-ship verification - after every ship, script fetches latest.json from the live URL and confirms version and sha256 match the build, then checks the exe URL returns HTTP 200
  • BuildAndShip -DryRun mode - pass -DryRun to build and compute sha256 without uploading anything or tagging git; useful for testing the build before committing to a release
