DevTent 1.3.0

Changelog

All notable changes to DevTent are documented in this file.

[Unreleased]

[1.3.0] - 2026-07-15

Feature release: multi-platform desktop, richer Database/PHP tooling, external databases, and a refreshed brand.

Security

• Laravel .env CLI — devtent laravel env redacts passwords by default (--secrets to print them)
• Database name sanitizer — linear-time scrubbing (avoids polynomial ReDoS on underscore runs)

Added

• External profile databases — point a profile at a NAS or remote MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL (host/port/user/password); Database page lists/creates DBs without a managed local service; Laravel .env snippets use the remote connection
• Database page — list/create databases for the active engine; manual backups for managed MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL
• PHP.ini page — per-version extension toggles and raw php.ini editor
• Site details drawer — open/folder/PHP/SSL/share/Laravel .env/telemetry/queue & Vite workers/create matching DB from Projects
• Dumps filters — search, site filter, clear-by-type, install Laravel telemetry toolbar; long bodies collapse
• Tray quick links — Mail, Dumps, Doctor, Database; Doctor badge when health has warnings/errors
• Broader Laravel dumps — capture jobs, views, requests, logs, cache, and outbound HTTP via AppServiceProvider listeners (plus existing dump/query/error hooks); new Dumps filter chips
• Named Cloudflare tunnels — login, create, configure hostname ↔ site, start/stop (devtent share named … and Share page)
• Local CA status + DNS — Doctor shows mkcert CA trust; optional built-in DNS on port 15353 for custom TLDs (devtent dns); macOS /etc/resolver installer
• Command palette — Ctrl/Cmd+K (or /) with navigation, sites, and actions; topbar shortcut button; number keys 1–9 jump views; R refresh, S start all, D doctor
• Desktop watch mode — npm run start / npm run dev rebuilds on change (UI reload; main process restart)
• macOS & Linux desktop — Electron DMG/zip (arm64) and AppImage/deb (x64) via the release matrix
• Platform adapters — binary path helpers (.exe only on Windows); Unix hosts elevation (osascript / pkexec / sudo)
• PHP-FPM on Unix — per-version pools on the same FastCGI ports as Windows php-cgi; static-php.dev Quick Add manifests for darwin-arm64 / linux-x64
• Multi-platform Quick Add — platform-specific manifests (name.platform-arch.yaml); tar.gz/tar.xz extract; downloadType: system to link nginx/redis from PATH
• Cross-platform updater — picks Windows .exe, macOS .dmg/.zip, or Linux AppImage/.deb from GitHub Releases

Changed

• New DevTent logo — hollow tent + </> mark; transparent UI badge; packaged icons from logo-source.png
• Desktop UX (Yerd-inspired) — sidebar groups for Integrations + System; first-class Doctor, Mail, Share, Database, and PHP pages; Overview site chips; onboarding uses .localhost (no hosts elevation step); clearer profiles/startup copy
• Project cards simplified to summary + Details drawer
• Comparison docs and README list DevTent as supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Composer manifest is platform: all (phar + bat/shell wrapper)

[1.2.2] - 2026-07-12

Quiet update indicator so you do not have to check Settings manually.

Added

• Update badge — small dot on Settings / Updates, plus a topbar “Update vX” chip when a release is available
• Tray tooltip — mentions the available version when an update is waiting

Changed

• Background update checks no longer open a modal; a short toast + persistent badge is enough until you choose to install

[1.2.1] - 2026-07-12

Performance and security patch for a snappier desktop experience.

Security

• Shell command injection — run tooling, MySQL, Node detection, Quick Add, and Quick App via execFile/spawn with argv arrays instead of interpolated shell strings (CodeQL js/shell-command-constructed-from-input)
• PHP version ids — reject unsafe values before building runtime paths

Changed

• Faster startup — lazy-load @devtent/core, defer auto-start and MySQL backup, build tray animation frames on demand
• Faster Start all — parallel service waves and shorter startup verify instead of a fixed 600ms wait per service
• Smarter UI refresh — scoped devtent:refresh events; skip full dashboard/settings reloads on every service change
• Hot-path caching — mtime caches for config, profiles, and Procfile; PATH lookup cache; parallel site discovery and manifest listing
• Logs & dumps — single poller, skip unchanged DOM rebuilds, tail-read large dump/log files
• Quit / stop all — skip MySQL dump on bulk stop (daily backup still runs)
• Installer size — ship en-US Electron locales only; trim asar maps, screenshots, and duplicate assets
• Task Manager name — show DevTent instead of the long package description

[1.2.0] - 2026-07-07

Feature release closing Yerd/Herd comparison gaps, with a redesigned desktop UI and zero-admin local domains.

Added

• .localhost domains (default) — browsers resolve *.localhost without hosts-file admin; .test remains optional in Settings
• Park & link sites — serve www/, parked folders, or external projects (devtent sites park|link)
• Per-site PHP — separate php-cgi pools and per-project PHP dropdown
• MariaDB — Quick Add manifest and profile database option
• Public share — Cloudflare quick tunnel (devtent share, Share button in Projects)
• Laravel live dumps — Dumps tab; auto dump()/dd() capture; automatic SQL query capture for Laravel Quick App and doctor --fix
• devtent doctor --fix — environment health checks with safe repairs
• Developer Tooling tab — Composer, Node, Bun, Laravel installer; external Node manager support (nvm/fnm/Volta)
• Laravel .env helper — per-site snippet for DB, mail, and Redis
• Symfony Quick App template
• Comparison doc — docs/COMPARISON.md vs Herd, Yerd, and Lerd
• README screenshots — fictional demo data; npm run screenshots -w @devtent/desktop to regenerate
• Quick Add grouping — PHP, web servers, databases, cache/mail/SSL sections
• CLI parity — sites, share, dumps, doctor, node use external

Changed

• Desktop UI overhaul — grouped sidebar (Overview / Sites / Developer / Config), page subtitles, project cards, tooling cards, dumps filters, share status on project cards
• HTTPS — auto mkcert -install when enabling SSL
• Installer & SmartScreen — clearer unsigned/open-source guidance (docs/SIGNING.md)
• Dumps — click file:line to open in editor (linked projects supported)

Fixed

• Screenshot capture serves app icon correctly for README assets

Security patch addressing GitHub CodeQL findings.

Security

• Log viewer — replace ambiguous path regexes and cap parse line length to mitigate ReDoS (CodeQL js/polynomial-redos)

[1.1.0] - 2026-07-02

Feature release: SSL workflow, health dashboard, portability, Node management, enhanced logs, and profile-driven optional services.

Added

• SSL workflow — Enable HTTPS per domain from the UI; regenerates Nginx/Apache vhosts and restarts the web server; dashboard links use https:// when a cert exists

Fixed

• Apache SSL — SSLEngine invalid command when using Apache with SSL vhosts (missing mod_ssl)

[1.0.1] - 2026-07-01

Bug-fix and UX release focused on Apache, profiles, installer reliability, and the Services page.

Added

• Profile-driven Services page — dropdown to switch profiles; list shows only that profile's stack; Start / Stop / Restart per service (Procfile toggles removed)

• Quick Add manifests for Node 18, 20, and 21
• Tests for SSL, vhosts, portability, log viewer, and hosts elevation guard

Changed

• Tray quick panel lists profile services instead of raw Procfile toggles
• Profile Procfile sync uses replace mode for optional services (no Redis/Mailpit leftovers after profile edit)
• Apache httpd.conf bumped to v4 — loads mod_ssl, mod_socache_shmcb, and Listen 443 for HTTPS vhosts

Fixed

• Apache SSL — SSLEngine invalid command when using Apache with SSL vhosts (missing mod_ssl)
• Test/build spam — Windows Script Host popups during npm test from missing temp devtent-elevate-hosts.vbs files; elevation is skipped in automated test runs

[1.0.2] - 2026-07-01

Fixed

• In-app updater — recognizes GitHub release assets named DevTent.Setup.*.exe (electron-builder default); fixes false “Release has no Windows installer attached” on update check
• Release builds — pin installer artifactName to DevTent Setup ${version}.exe and broaden CI asset discovery

[1.0.1] - 2026-07-01

Bug-fix and UX release focused on Apache, profiles, installer reliability, and the Services page.

Added

• Profile-driven Services page — dropdown to switch profiles; list shows only that profile's stack; Start / Stop / Restart per service (Procfile toggles removed)
• Profile switch warnings — confirms before stopping services not in the new profile
• restartService API and UI action
• Laravel-style document roots — virtual hosts use public/ (or Symfony web/) automatically, matching Laragon
• Apache support module — portable httpd.conf v3, procfile auto-repair, Windows-safe PHP-CGI proxy handler
• Profile repair — restores active profile from profiles/.active when devtent.toml is lost on reinstall
• Install lock — blocks DevTent from starting during NSIS install/update; fixes false "cannot close" and copy/delete loops
• Hosts elevation dialog — UAC prompt only from "Update hosts file (Admin)"; Sync Virtual Hosts no longer spams elevation
• Portable installer update — skips destructive legacy uninstaller; preserves www/, bin/, profiles, and Procfile
• Tests for Apache, hosts elevation, profile services, config repair, install lock, and Laragon migration guards

Changed

• getState() lists virtual hosts without rewriting the hosts file on every page load
• Laragon import removed from setup wizard (Settings → Import environment only, with explicitImport guard)
• switchProfile() stops running services not in the new profile and syncs Procfile with merge/replace logic
• Setup wizard no longer re-runs on reinstall when environment data already exists

Fixed

• Apache — -d . ServerRoot fix; PHP via proxy:fcgi + ProxyFCGISetEnvIf on Windows (no more 127.0.0.1:9000p proxy errors)
• Apache — httpd.conf paths relative to install root (not bin/apache/etc/...)
• Installer — no longer launches DevTent via ExecWait --quit when the app is not running
• Profiles — active profile preserved across portable reinstall when marker exists
• Procfile — merge mode keeps existing services on update; Apache command auto-repaired on start
• Migration — install/setup cannot copy Laragon www projects without explicit Settings import

[1.0.0] - 2026-06-29

First public release.

Added

• Recommended stack — one-click install of PHP 8.3, Nginx, MySQL 8.4, Composer, and mkcert on first-run setup (desktop + devtent stack install)
• MySQL backups — automatic dump before MySQL stops, daily while the desktop app is open, manual backup in Settings, 7-day retention (data/backups/mysql/)
• In-app updates — check GitHub Releases, download installer, and apply updates from Settings
• Update rollback — automatic backup of DevTent.exe before updates; restore previous version from Settings
• App diagnostics — crash and error log at %APPDATA%/DevTent/logs/app.log, viewable in Dashboard → Logs
• Profile-driven stack — Apache / PostgreSQL profile options wired to Procfile; nginx/mysql mutual exclusion in toggles
• Quick Add — PHP 8.2–8.4, Nginx, Apache 2.4, MySQL 8.4, Composer, Node 22, mkcert, Redis, Mailpit, PostgreSQL 16
• Windows NSIS installer with tent icon, running-app prompt, and optional environment import
• Environment import: projects, php.ini, MySQL/MariaDB data, and PHP/Nginx/MySQL runtimes
• Desktop tray app with setup wizard, dashboard, draggable quick panel, Procfile toggles, and logs viewer
• CLI for init, services, profiles, vhosts, Quick Add, stack install, MySQL backup, environment import, and SSL
• GitHub Actions CI (build, lint, tests, CLI smoke, Electron E2E smoke) and release workflow for tagged builds
• Issue and PR templates; README screenshots
• DTCL v1.0 license, LICENSE-FAQ, CONTRIBUTING, and SECURITY policy

Security

• IPC validation for openExternal (http/https/mailto only) and openPath (root-scoped)
• Quick Add enforces manifest platform / arch before download

Fixed

• Installer uses forceful taskkill /F /T and no longer hangs when DevTent is in the tray
• App exits promptly on quit (no blocking MySQL backup during shutdown)
• Setup wizard no longer appears on reinstall/update when data already exists
• Installer welcome/finish pages explain SmartScreen (unsigned build)
• Hosts-file sync failures surfaced to the UI with manual instructions

• App exits promptly on quit (no blocking MySQL backup during shutdown)
• Setup wizard no longer appears on reinstall/update when data already exists
• Installer welcome/finish pages explain SmartScreen (unsigned build)
• Hosts-file sync failures surfaced to the UI with manual instructions

Known limitations

• Windows installer is unsigned — SmartScreen guidance in installer UI and docs/SIGNING.md
• *.test domains use the Windows hosts file; DevTent launches an elevated CMD helper when admin is required (app does not need admin)
• Linux/macOS desktop builds are planned; CLI/core have partial non-Windows support

DevTent 1.0.1

Changelog

All notable changes to DevTent are documented in this file.

1.0.1 - 2026-07-01

Bug-fix and UX release focused on Apache, profiles, installer reliability, and the Services page.

Added

• Profile-driven Services page — dropdown to switch profiles; list shows only that profile's stack; Start / Stop / Restart per service (Procfile toggles removed)
• Profile switch warnings — confirms before stopping services not in the new profile
• restartService API and UI action
• Laravel-style document roots — virtual hosts use public/ (or Symfony web/) automatically, matching Laragon
• Apache support module — portable httpd.conf v3, procfile auto-repair, Windows-safe PHP-CGI proxy handler
• Profile repair — restores active profile from profiles/.active when devtent.toml is lost on reinstall
• Install lock — blocks DevTent from starting during NSIS install/update; fixes false "cannot close" and copy/delete loops
• Hosts elevation dialog — UAC prompt only from "Update hosts file (Admin)"; Sync Virtual Hosts no longer spams elevation
• Portable installer update — skips destructive legacy uninstaller; preserves www/, bin/, profiles, and Procfile
• Tests for Apache, hosts elevation, profile services, config repair, install lock, and Laragon migration guards

Changed

• getState() lists virtual hosts without rewriting the hosts file on every page load
• Laragon import removed from setup wizard (Settings → Import environment only, with explicitImport guard)
• switchProfile() stops running services not in the new profile and syncs Procfile with merge/replace logic
• Setup wizard no longer re-runs on reinstall when environment data already exists

Fixed

• Apache — -d . ServerRoot fix; PHP via proxy:fcgi + ProxyFCGISetEnvIf on Windows (no more 127.0.0.1:9000p proxy errors)
• Apache — httpd.conf paths relative to install root (not bin/apache/etc/...)
• Installer — no longer launches DevTent via ExecWait --quit when the app is not running
• Profiles — active profile preserved across portable reinstall when marker exists
• Procfile — merge mode keeps existing services on update; Apache command auto-repaired on start
• Migration — install/setup cannot copy Laragon www projects without explicit Settings import

1.0.0 - 2026-06-29

First public release.

Added

• Recommended stack — one-click install of PHP 8.3, Nginx, MySQL 8.4, Composer, and mkcert on first-run setup (desktop + devtent stack install)
• MySQL backups — automatic dump before MySQL stops, daily while the desktop app is open, manual backup in Settings, 7-day retention (data/backups/mysql/)
• In-app updates — check GitHub Releases, download installer, and apply updates from Settings
• Update rollback — automatic backup of DevTent.exe before updates; restore previous version from Settings
• App diagnostics — crash and error log at %APPDATA%/DevTent/logs/app.log, viewable in Dashboard → Logs
• Profile-driven stack — Apache / PostgreSQL profile options wired to Procfile; nginx/mysql mutual exclusion in toggles
• Quick Add — PHP 8.2–8.4, Nginx, Apache 2.4, MySQL 8.4, Composer, Node 22, mkcert, Redis, Mailpit, PostgreSQL 16
• Windows NSIS installer with tent icon, running-app prompt, and optional environment import
• Environment import: projects, php.ini, MySQL/MariaDB data, and PHP/Nginx/MySQL runtimes
• Desktop tray app with setup wizard, dashboard, draggable quick panel, Procfile toggles, and logs viewer
• CLI for init, services, profiles, vhosts, Quick Add, stack install, MySQL backup, environment import, and SSL
• GitHub Actions CI (build, lint, tests, CLI smoke, Electron E2E smoke) and release workflow for tagged builds
• Issue and PR templates; README screenshots
• DTCL v1.0 license, LICENSE-FAQ, CONTRIBUTING, and SECURITY policy

Security

• IPC validation for openExternal (http/https/mailto only) and openPath (root-scoped)
• Quick Add enforces manifest platform / arch before download

Fixed

• Installer uses forceful taskkill /F /T and no longer hangs when DevTent is in the tray
• App exits promptly on quit (no blocking MySQL backup during shutdown)
