ShadowsocksX-NG

Current version is 1.6.1

Next Generation of ShadowsocksX

Why?

It's hard to maintain the original implementation as there is too much unused code in it. It also embeds the ss-local source. It's crazy to maintain dependencies of ss-local. So it's hard to update the ss-local version.

Now I just copied the ss-local from Homebrew. Run ss-local executable as a Launch Agent in the background. Serve PAC JS file as a file URL. So there is only some source code related to GUI left. Then I will rewrite the GUI code in Swift.

Difference from original ShadowsocksX

ss-local is run as a background service through launchd, not as an in-app process. So after you quit the app, the ss-local might be still running.

Added a manual mode which won't configure the system proxy settings, so that you could configure your apps to use the SOCKS5 proxy manually.
