Blazing Fast UI Upgrade | HydraVeil 2.5.2
No longer does the client fetch all data, but only what changed!
Before
In the previous version, when you hit “sync” to create a new profile, it fetched from the server ALL data (locations, operators, plans, browsers). This was slower, especially through Tor, systemwide Wireguard, or both.
Now
It fetches a single JSON with what data changed, then only if those individual datasets changed, it fetches only the new data.

Before
Before the GUI had the entire thing load at once. This is a slower startup.
Now
Complete UI overhaul. Only the main page loads first, then the rest lazy loads, so it’s ready to go when you hit the buttons.

These two changes together should be a dramatic improvement for creating and using profiles. And ultimately make your life easier.
