            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>File Mover Express 1.1.0 is our first feature release since 1.0.0. It brings
single sign-on, a fully redesigned desktop app, faster many-file uploads, and
broader distribution across platforms.</p>

<ul>
<li class=""><strong>OIDC single sign-on</strong>: sign in with your identity provider (Okta and other
OIDC providers) instead of managing static credentials.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Full GUI redesign</strong> on the AWS Cloudscape visual language, upgraded to
Angular 22, with a reorganized daemon menu (This Computer / Remote Daemons),
redesigned hot-folder cards, and general spacing and icon polish.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Native OS file and folder pickers</strong> on the path fields when connected to a
local daemon, so there is no more manual path typing.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id="faster-many-file-uploads">Faster many-file uploads<a href="https://awslabs.github.io/filemoverexpress/updates/file-mover-express-1-1-0#faster-many-file-uploads" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Faster many-file uploads" title="Direct link to Faster many-file uploads" translate="no">​</a></h2>
<ul>
<li class=""><strong>AutoMAT (opt-in)</strong> automatically scales the number of concurrent transfers
to the machine instead of using a fixed cap. Toggle it on in Settings.</li>
<li class="">Raised the default max active transfers to 100 and parallelized the
"object already exists" pre-check, which significantly speeds up large
batches of small files.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id="better-transfer-visibility-and-control">Better transfer visibility and control<a href="https://awslabs.github.io/filemoverexpress/updates/file-mover-express-1-1-0#better-transfer-visibility-and-control" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Better transfer visibility and control" title="Direct link to Better transfer visibility and control" translate="no">​</a></h2>
<ul>
<li class=""><strong>More accurate pause/resume progress</strong>: a two-part progress bar separates
committed bytes (never moves backward) from in-flight bytes; skipped files
are now counted and visible; elapsed time is preserved across a resume.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Job Details</strong> split into peer <strong>Files</strong> and <strong>Logs</strong> tabs with sortable
columns and status filters.</li>
<li class=""><strong>Jobs table row actions</strong>: a per-row menu mirroring the right-click actions.</li>
<li class="">Renamed the confusing "Force transfers" control to
<strong>"Overwrite existing files"</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id="remote-daemon-and-hot-folders">Remote daemon and hot folders<a href="https://awslabs.github.io/filemoverexpress/updates/file-mover-express-1-1-0#remote-daemon-and-hot-folders" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Remote daemon and hot folders" title="Direct link to Remote daemon and hot folders" translate="no">​</a></h2>
<ul>
<li class="">Remote-configuration and S3 bucket-browser UX fixes, plus an auth-lockout fix.</li>
<li class="">Hot folders now debounce per folder instead of globally, and a new
<code>forceInitialUpload</code> flag controls whether existing files re-upload on start.</li>
<li class="">A configured local starting directory is now honored on every connect.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetStickyNavbar_Vzrq" id="reliability-fixes">Reliability fixes<a href="https://awslabs.github.io/filemoverexpress/updates/file-mover-express-1-1-0#reliability-fixes" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Reliability fixes" title="Direct link to Reliability fixes" translate="no">​</a></h2>
<ul>
<li class="">Fixed two recurring daemon crashes (an event-bus "send on closed channel"
panic and a transferstats nil-pointer panic) that could crash the daemon
mid-transfer.</li>
<li class="">Fixed the bucket report defaulting to the wrong (unauthenticated)
configuration.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li class=""><strong>Linux headless CLI daemon binaries</strong> are now published (x64 and arm64). Run
the engine on a server, render farm, or cloud instance and drive it from a
GUI on another machine. See the
<a class="" href="https://awslabs.github.io/filemoverexpress/docs/Headless-Linux-Installation">Headless Linux Installation guide</a>.</li>
<li class=""><strong>MCP server binaries</strong> now ship for macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon),
Windows (x64), and Linux (x64 and arm64).</li>
<li class="">Windows installers embed a readable version resource, honest OS-tokened asset
names, and a hard release gate that fails the build if any expected binary is
missing.</li>
