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

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
