VaultSync 1.7.3 beta is out — and Linux beta builds are finally here

Big milestone on this one.

VaultSync 1.7.3 beta is out, and with it comes the first proper Linux beta launch.

This is something that has been requested for a long time, and it feels really good to finally have Linux builds going out as actual release assets instead of it staying in the “later” pile.

This beta now ships with:

• Linux tar.gz builds for x64 and arm64
• a desktop-friendly linux-x64 AppImage
• improved Linux update asset detection so the app can prefer the right architecture-specific packages

So this is the first real step toward giving Linux users a proper way to try VaultSync.

A big part of that is that most of the Linux work behind this release was done by JustH8Me.

They’ve been doing real work on the Linux side and helped push this forward in a meaningful way, and this beta release simply would not look the same without that contribution.

That work already landed in some very real fixes:

• tray panel screen detection, reopen behavior, and Wayland positioning improvements on Hyprland-style environments
• tooltip flickering and focus fixes on Linux/Wayland
• a fix for a fatal AccessViolationException on Linux x64 during backup
• a fix for passwords being saved as "null" on Linux, plus increased timeout handling

So this is not just “Linux builds exist now”, it’s also the result of actual Linux-focused work being done and landing in the app.

On top of that, 1.7.3 beta also includes a couple of smaller quality-of-life improvements:

• the in-app log console now has an explicit Auto-scroll toggle
• you can now copy the selected log line with a button or the normal platform copy shortcut

And there are also a few fixes on the general app side:

• Settings now refreshes persisted values correctly after config reloads
• startup now repairs blank project root paths from the configured Projects root when possible, which should reduce some relaunch-related missing path issues

This is a beta release, so I’d especially appreciate testing and feedback here — even more so on Linux since this is the first proper beta push for that platform.

If you try it, let me know how it behaves on your setup.

Thanks again to everyone following the project, testing builds, reporting issues, and contributing.

And a special thanks again to JustH8Me — most of the Linux work in this release came from them, and it made a real difference.

As always, keep backing up your data.
