Netrinos Client v1.2.6 Release Notes

Release Date: 2026-01-09

Overview

Version 1.2.6 dramatically improves startup speed. Peers are now detected in seconds instead of minutes, thanks to a new WebSocket-based coordination system.

What’s Improved

Real-Time Peer Discovery

A new WebSocket-based signal channel coordinates peer discovery in real-time. After logging in, your peers are detected and connected within seconds. When other peers come online, you’re notified immediately.

Result: Peers detected in ~2 seconds instead of up to 2 minutes.

Improved NAT Traversal

Peers known to be offline are now skipped during connection tests. This reduces load on router NAT tables, improving reliability on consumer routers and other low-end network equipment.

Fixes

• Fixed edge case where Windows gateway failed to connect on cold starts
• Fixed edge case where Windows gateway didn’t route to local network devices
• Fixed rare connection delays when testing peers running older versions
• Fixed rare timeout when two peers tested each other simultaneously

Compatibility

• Works with v1.2.4 and v1.2.5 clients
• Mixed-version networks supported
• No configuration changes required
