DevTent 1.1.0

Changelog

All notable changes to DevTent are documented in this file.

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
• Environment health dashboard — Surfaces missing runtimes, stopped services, MySQL backup status, hosts sync, and SSL gaps with quick-fix actions
• MySQL restore — Restore from saved backups in Settings and via devtent mysql restore <id>
• Portability — Export/import environment bundles (www, profiles, data, configs) from Settings and CLI (devtent export, devtent import-bundle)
• Node version management — Install and switch Node 18/20/21/22 per profile; new Node sidebar tab; CLI devtent node list|install|use
• Enhanced log viewer — Search, PHP file-location parsing, auto-refresh, and open-in-editor from the Logs tab
• Profile optional services — Toggle Redis and Mailpit per profile; Services tab and tray show only the active profile's stack
• Onboarding wizard — Post-setup guided flow to create a demo project, sync vhosts, and open in browser
• Graceful quit — Settings toggle to stop all services when the app exits
• CLI parity — devtent open, health, export, import-bundle; profile --redis / --mailpit
• 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

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
