PigeonPost 1.7.0

What's new in 1.7.0

✨ New Features
🎤 Demo / Presentation Mode
A two-PC presenter tool built directly into PigeonPost. The sender PC loads a plain-text script and pushes lines one at a time to the receiver PC — each line lands on the receiver's clipboard automatically. A compact always-on-top overlay on the receiver shows the current and next lines, so the presenter can read ahead without touching the receiving machine.
- Load any .txt file as a script (one line = one clipboard send)
- Navigate with Back, Resend, Next buttons on either PC
- Keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+→ / Ctrl+Shift+← / Ctrl+Shift+R (window must be in focus)
- Back-channel commands (receiver → sender) work over HTTP; bearer token authentication is handled automatically
- Receiver window opens automatically on first push and closes when demo mode stops
- Activity log on the receiver for diagnostics
🌍 Full App Localization (7 languages)
The entire UI is now localizable. Language follows the Windows system setting automatically, or the user can manually override the language in Settings at any time — no restart required.
Supported languages:
- 🇺🇸 English (en-US) — default
- 🇩🇪 German (de-DE)
- 🇫🇷 French (fr-FR)
- 🇪🇸 Spanish (es-ES)
- 🇮🇹 Italian (it-IT)
- 🇮🇳 Hindi (hi-IN)
- 🇨🇳 Simplified Chinese (zh-CN)
- RTL foundation included for future Arabic/Hebrew support
All UI strings, tooltips, dialogs, status messages, and error text are fully translated. Translation quality has been reviewed and improved for natural phrasing in each language.
🔥 Firewall Rule Management
New Settings → Network section to check whether a Windows Firewall inbound rule exists for PigeonPost and add it with one click — no manual netsh commands needed.
