What's New in Yucca 0.13.0¶
17.07.2026
A release focused on reliability: noticeably more stable playback and archive, and hardened security, plus a few interface improvements.
Added¶
Zoom in the player¶
You can now zoom into the picture while watching — including in the embedded player. Zoom is controlled with the mouse wheel, and holding Ctrl is no longer required.
Camera list pagination¶
The camera list now loads in pages instead of all at once — the interface stays responsive even with a large number of cameras.
Archive depth when adding a camera¶
When adding a camera (stream add), you can set the archive depth right away.
Remote Access (formerly "Tunnel")¶
The "Tunnel" feature has been renamed to "Remote Access". Setup is simpler (you no longer need to pick a location), and the connection is more reliable: it automatically recovers after network interruptions.
Improvements and fixes¶
- More stable playback. The player recovers from errors instead of showing a black screen, freezes less often, and correctly restarts problematic streams. Fixed the progress bar behavior in live mode.
- Reliable archive and motion recording. Fewer gaps and duplicates in recordings, a pre-roll buffer before motion recording starts, and no more stuck processes when downloading the archive.
- Stream stability. Freezes, unnecessary restarts, and memory leaks have been eliminated; the server handles temporary network and database failures more gracefully.
- Security. Two-factor authentication and password-reset codes are now protected against brute-forcing, and a way to inject launch parameters via the camera URL has been closed.
Other¶
- A web UI for Yucca Gateway has been added.
Important when upgrading¶
- Yucca is now distributed for Linux only. Builds for macOS and FreeBSD, as well as installation via Homebrew, are no longer supported.
- FFmpeg is included in the distribution — you no longer need to install it separately.
