Perspective Server 1.1.0 Beta 2

Perspective Server 1.1.0 Beta 2

This beta is a targeted security release for GitHub issue #1, [Bug] Open web server manipulable by any web page.

What changed

• Restricts the local server to loopback access while preserving both IPv4 and IPv6 localhost connectivity
• Adds bearer-token protection for local clients and repairs the in-app chat, dashboard test, and copied client setup flows to work with that requirement
• Returns readable auth failures to localhost web clients so browser-based integrations see proper 401 responses instead of opaque CORS errors
• Fails startup if the auth token cannot be safely persisted, avoiding an unrecoverable local auth state

Security issue reported by Brian Sniffen.

Assets

• PerspectiveServer-1.1.0-beta.2.dmg: notarized DMG for manual install
• PerspectiveServer-1.1.0-beta.2.zip: notarized Sparkle update artifact
