What's Changed

Installation Simplification

  • Removed installer.py - The automated installer has been removed. Binary installation now works directly without additional setup scripts
  • Simplified netwatch.service - Updated systemd service template with user-configurable placeholders (YOUR_USERNAME, /path/to/netwatch) for easier customization
  • Added Python symlink command - For Linux systems with only python3 installed: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

Metric Naming Unification

  • Split Loaded Ping metric - Changed from single "Loaded Ping" to separate "Download Ping" and "Upload Ping" metrics on Homenet tab to match Internet tab naming
  • Consistent terminology - Both Internet and Homenet tabs now use identical metric names (Idle Ping, Download Ping, Upload Ping, Jitter) for easier comparison
  • Updated chart titles - Renamed Homenet charts for clarity:
    • "LAN Latency History" to "Jitter & Bufferbloat"
    • "Bufferbloat (Latency Under Load)" to "Ping Analysis (Idle vs Download vs Upload vs Gateway)"

Chart Enhancements

  • Internet tab Jitter & Bufferbloat chart - Enhanced from single Jitter line to 4 datasets:
    • Idle Ping (ms)
    • Download Ping (ms)
    • Upload Ping (ms)
    • Jitter (ms)
  • Homenet Latency chart - Now shows 4 datasets: Idle Ping, Download Ping, Upload Ping, and Jitter
  • Homenet Bufferbloat chart - Now shows 4 datasets: Idle Ping, Download Ping, Upload Ping, and Gateway Ping

Documentation

  • Manual installation guide - Added step-by-step instructions for Linux and Windows in README
  • Service setup instructions - Moved systemd service configuration inline with example template
