v1.2.0 Major Update

Engineering Improvements

  • Database Optimization: Refactored SQLite schema to use Unix Epoch Integers, reducing storage size by ~80% and query latency by ~40%.
  • Fault Tolerance: Implemented Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) for lock-free concurrent writes.
  • Binaries: Added automated .exe builds for Windows and Linux (see assets below).
  • Enhanced Graph Display: Redesigned 24-hour history analytics with improved ASCII visualization, traffic summary statistics, peak hour identification, and actionable insights.

New Features

  • Persistent Configuration: Your settings (Interface, Limits, Dark Mode) are now saved automatically.
  • Dark Mode: Fixed theme persistence and rendering issues.
  • Interactive History Tab: View hourly traffic breakdown with total upload/download percentages and average usage per hour.
  • Peak Hour Detection: Automatically identifies and highlights your busiest hours for better traffic management.

IMPORTANT: Migration Required
Because the database schema has changed (Text -> Integer), existing users must reset their history after updating:

  1. Run netwatch
  2. Press Ctrl + R (Reset Counters)

Major Architectural Upgrade: SQLite Backend

We have completely rewritten the data persistence layer, moving from a flat quota.json file to a robust SQLite database.

  • Transactional Safety: Data is now logged in real-time using Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) mode. This makes the application crash-proof. So, no more corrupted data if your computer shuts down unexpectedly.

  • Time-Series Logging: Instead of just storing "totals," Netwatch now logs traffic volume every second. This enables granular historical analysis.

New Feature: Interactive History Tab

Added a new Analytics Dashboard to the TUI.

  • 24-Hour History: View your network usage hour-by-hour for the last 24 hours.

  • Custom ASCII Graph Engine: Built a lightweight, dependency-free graphing engine that renders beautiful stacked bar charts using standard Unicode block characters (█, ░).

  • Cross-Platform: Renders perfectly on Windows (CMD/PowerShell), Linux, and macOS without graphical glitches.

Seamless Migration

  • Auto-Migration: Upgrading from v0.3.x? Netwatch automatically detects your old quota.json, imports your existing totals into the new database, and safely archives the old file. You won't lose a single byte of data.

UX & Keybinding Improvements

  • Tabs System: Organized the interface into "Live Monitor" and "History" tabs.

  • New Controls:

    • r : Refresh the history graph immediately.

    • Ctrl+r : Reset all counters and history (moved from r to prevent accidents).

    • Ctrl+s : Removed (Data is now auto-saved every second).

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed race conditions where UI watchers would trigger before widgets were mounted.

  • Fixed timezone issues in SQL queries to ensure hourly data aligns correctly with local time.

  • Improved error handling: Database errors are now caught and displayed safely without crashing the monitoring thread.
