+## [1.4.1] - 2025-09-13
+
+### Added
+- **Watchdog Scripts for High Availability**: Professional daemon monitoring and automatic restart
+  - `wssshd-watchdog`: Comprehensive watchdog script for wssshd daemon
+    - Monitors daemon process health every 30 seconds
+    - Automatic restart on failure with configurable limits
+    - Prevents restart loops with 5-restart limit per 5-minute window
+    - Detailed logging to /var/log/wssshd/watchdog.log
+    - Proper signal handling and cleanup
+    - Integration with syslog for system monitoring
+  - `wssshc-watchdog`: Watchdog script for wssshc client daemon
+    - Identical functionality to wssshd-watchdog
+    - Monitors wssshc process and restarts on failure
+    - Logging to /var/log/wssshc/watchdog.log
+    - Configurable restart limits and intervals
+
+- **Enhanced Init Scripts**: Updated init scripts to use watchdog for daemon management
+  - Modified `/etc/init.d/wssshd` to launch daemon through watchdog
+  - Modified `/etc/init.d/wssshc` to launch client through watchdog
+  - Proper watchdog PID file management
+  - Enhanced status reporting showing both daemon and watchdog status
+  - Seamless integration with existing service management
+
+- **Professional Service Management**: Enterprise-grade daemon supervision
+  - Automatic daemon restart on unexpected termination
+  - Configurable monitoring intervals and restart policies
+  - Comprehensive logging for troubleshooting and monitoring
+  - Non-blocking watchdog operation that doesn't interfere with normal service
+  - Proper resource cleanup and signal handling
+
+### Changed
+- **Init Script Architecture**: Init scripts now manage watchdog processes instead of daemons directly
+- **Service Control**: Enhanced service status reporting with watchdog information
+- **Process Management**: Improved process supervision with automatic recovery
+- **Logging Integration**: Watchdog logs integrated with system syslog
+
+### Technical Details
+- **Watchdog Implementation**: Shell-based watchdog with robust error handling
+  - Process health monitoring via PID file validation
+  - Configurable check intervals (default: 30 seconds)
+  - Restart limit enforcement to prevent infinite loops
+  - Proper daemon user/group context preservation
+  - Signal-based communication and cleanup
+
+- **System Integration**: Complete integration with Debian init system
+  - Watchdog scripts installed to /usr/sbin/
+  - Proper file permissions and ownership
+  - Integration with package postinst scripts
+  - Automatic directory creation and permission setting
+
+- **Configuration Management**: Watchdog behavior controlled via /etc/default files
+  - START=yes/no control for service enablement
+  - Additional configuration options for watchdog behavior
+  - Backward compatibility with existing configurations
+
+### Security
+- **Process Isolation**: Watchdog runs with same user/group as monitored daemon
+- **File Permissions**: Proper ownership and permissions for watchdog scripts
+- **Logging Security**: Secure logging without exposing sensitive information
+- **Resource Limits**: Built-in protections against restart loops and resource exhaustion
+
+### Fixed
+- **Service Reliability**: Automatic recovery from daemon crashes and failures
+- **Process Monitoring**: Proper detection of daemon process termination
+- **Resource Management**: Clean PID file management and process cleanup
+- **Error Handling**: Robust error handling for various failure scenarios
+
