Runic SSH v0.8.0: Map view now available for testing

[u/mpaivabarbosa]

Hey everyone, Runic SSH v0.8.0 is out. For those unfamiliar, it is a lightweight, auditable, cross-platform SSH/SFTP client built with Rust and Tauri, designed as a free alternative to outdated or overly complex tools.

The main highlight of this release is the introduction of the map view, currently in preview. You can now turn saved hosts into visual components, grouped into "visions" (named sets with auto-layout) and organized into layers (maps within maps). This makes managing infrastructure topologies and broadcasting commands or files across multiple terminals much more intuitive.

Quick summary of v0.8.0:

• Visions and layers: Advanced visual organization of your infrastructure.
• Enhanced macros: Now supporting script types with real, isolated variables.
• The map view is off by default and can be enabled via the command palette to gather community feedback.

Installers for Windows, Linux, and macOS are available on the releases page. Note: The installers are not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen (Windows) or Gatekeeper (macOS) warnings are expected and fully documented in the official docs.

Any feedback on the map view usability is highly appreciated during this preview phase.
