macOS Interface
- Reworked the proxy editor, policy-group editors, parameter dialogs, and the General, Interface, DNS, Profile, and License pages using a new System Settings-style card interface.
Surge CLI & Remote Control
- Added
restart-engine, which completely restarts the engine, closes active connections, and clears caches and temporary rules.-
reload continues to apply only changed profile sections whenever possible, preserving unaffected runtime state.- Restart Engine is also available from Surge Dashboard and the iOS Remote Controller maintenance menu.
Tailscale
- Improved compatibility with the Tailscale administration console. Surge devices are no longer incorrectly reported as using an outdated client, enabling version-gated operations such as editing the device IP address.
iOS
- Fixed managed-profile
icon-url icons being hidden by automatically generated placeholder icons.- Custom policy-group icons now behave consistently across Lucid and Gradient themes, with a Default option available in both.
- Module download, parsing, file-writing, and installation-information failures are now reported instead of failing silently.
- Refined the Script Editor toolbar and file-selection layout on iOS 26.
- Improved context-menu previews on iOS 26 by following the system’s native corner styling.
