Monghoul 1.4.4

View on GitHub

Themes

  • Ink and Paper — Two new high-contrast monochrome themes. Ink is pure black with white text, Paper is pure white with black text. Both use grayscale for all UI elements with vivid semantic colors only for errors, warnings, and success states.
  • Theme-aware colors — Replaced hardcoded colors across the app with theme variables. Sidebar icons, toolbar buttons, tab indicators, boolean toggles, aggregation builder stages, and update banners all now respond to the active theme.

Query

  • Cancel during connect — The Stop button now works even while MongoDB is still connecting, instead of blocking until the 30-second timeout.
  • Compact result header — Tighter padding, flat view switcher tabs, and scan badge visible on small panels. Recovers ~14px of vertical space.
  • Compact pagination — Simplified from a multi-element toolbar to a minimal inline bar. Page size is now a click-to-edit text button with presets.

Table View

  • Resize handle overlap — Column resize handles no longer bleed through pinned columns during horizontal scrolling.
  • Expanded panel cleanup — Removed duplicate header from the expanded document panel and reduced tree indent from 16px to 10px per level.

Sidebar

  • No native tooltips — Removed browser-native title tooltips from tree items, stat badges, and validation badges. Button tooltips are kept.

MCP

  • Connection stability — MCP sessions now survive app restarts (auto-recovers stale sessions), idle timeout increased to prevent silent disconnects, and session TTL extended from 30 minutes to 4 hours.

Footer

  • App info rework — The Monghoul version popover now includes a manual "Check for Updates" button and a GitHub link for bug reports. Settings are grouped under a "Preferences" label.

UI Polish

  • Toolbar buttons — Simplified button styles, removed heavy shadows, and added pointer cursor globally for all non-disabled buttons.
  • macOS auto-update — Fixed signature mismatch on universal builds by producing architecture-specific filenames for each platform.
