What's new in v5.20.0

### Tailscale Support Surge now supports Tailscale as a policy. With this feature, Surge can join your Tailscale tailnet directly and route selected traffic through Tailscale peers using the existing Surge rule system. You can use Tailscale IPs, and tailnet-only services together with Surge policies, policy groups, DNS handling, traffic logging, and rule-based routing. Please check the manual for more information: https://manual.nssurge.com/policy/tailscale.html ### Snell v6 Introduced Snell v6, featuring PSK-derived deployment-level protocol diversity that generates unique traffic characteristics for each deployment, reducing reliance on a single protocol fingerprint while preserving Snell’s core goals of performance, deployment simplicity, accurate error reporting, and full TCP semantics. Snell v6 also adds new IPv4/IPv6 network stack controls including dns-ip-preference and multi-address listen support, and is currently available for beta testing. Please check our blog for more information: https://nssurge.com/blog/snell-v6/ ### Codebase Refactoring We have completed a comprehensive review of Surge’s core functionality and resolved numerous implementation issues, edge cases, and long-standing inconsistencies. This ongoing refactoring effort improves maintainability and helps provide a more robust foundation for future development. ### WireGuard WireGuard policies now use a dedicated native RTT test when no DNS server is configured, making them suitable for peer-to-peer access without requiring a reachable test URL. When a DNS server is configured, the policy is treated as a standard outbound proxy and continues to use the regular URL test process. WireGuard runtime information and diagnostics have also been updated to reflect the applicable testing mode. ### Minor Improvements - The Smart Group algorithm has been reviewed and upgraded, fixing several potential issues. - The `header` parameter for the HTTP proxy type can now override original fields, including Host field. - Added Gecko obfuscation support for Hysteria2, configured using the `gecko-password` parameter. - All TLS proxy protocols now support customizing ALPN using the `alpn` field. - When local DNS mapping is specified using server, multiple DNS servers can now be configured. - URL scheme actions are now supported in Surge Mac. Check manual for more information. - Enable the keep-alive mechanism for all QUIC-based protocols ### Other - Optimize the performance of Surge Ponte. - The UI configuration interface has been completed for the recently added proxy protocol parameters, including Tailscale. - Fixed an issue where the `header` parameter did not take effect in HTTP/1.1 CONNECT mode. - Fix some issues when using SF Symbols for policy group icons. - Fixed compatibility issues between DoH3 and some servers.
