EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.9

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.9

• Install & update telemetry: anonymous-by-design install and version-upgrade counts so we can see adoption. No project contents, source, databases, env vars or credentials are ever collected. Opt out with ENVKIT_NO_TELEMETRY=1. See the privacy policy for details.

Auto-update from any prior fixed build is seamless. First install is SmartScreen-warned (self-signed) — More info → Run anyway.

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.8

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.8

• Stop button on installs now works cleanly — cancelling clears the progress
  bar/button immediately and shows "Install cancelled" (info), instead of leaving
  the bar stuck and surfacing a red CancelledError. Same terminal-event fix also
  clears the bar on real install failures.
• Includes beta.7: pgweb.test/mongo.test SSL (admin-UI hostnames in the cert),
  auto-detected system Python in Services, pgweb/mongo start their DB first,
  Laragon-style manual versions, PHP custom-version field.

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.6

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.6

• pgweb / mongo-express now start their database first — enabling pgweb starts
  PostgreSQL (and mongo-express starts MongoDB) if it's installed but stopped, so
  you no longer get "pgweb: exited with code 1 / connection refused".
• Laragon-style manual versions: drop a build into services\<service>\<version>\
  and switch to it; PHP custom-version field; MySQL/MariaDB version Switch button.
• Installer trusts the code-signing cert → seamless self-signed auto-updates.

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.4

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.4

• Seamless self-signed updates — the installer now imports EnvKit's code-signing
  cert into Trusted Root on install, so signed auto-updates verify as Valid
  (verifyUpdateCodeSignature back on) with no manual trust and no SmartScreen warning.
• Version switch button — pick an installed MySQL/MariaDB (or any service)
  version that isn't active and click Switch to to make it active.
• MySQL 8.4.3 (LTS) listed in the lib/ GitHub index.

One-time on a machine already on an older build: install this once by hand; after
that (cert trusted) every update auto-installs.

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.28

What's new

• Outlined "New project" button in Sites — a lighter mint CTA (border + text) with a + icon and an open/close chevron, distinct from the neutral buttons next to it.
• Branded MSIX — the .msix now ships the real EnvKit tile/splash artwork and a complete manifest.

Carries forward the branded blank-project page, smoother window maximize, theme-color polish, and Logs improvements from beta.27.

Downloads

• EnvKit-Setup-0.30.0-beta.28.exe — recommended installer. Auto-updates in place. (SmartScreen → More info → Run anyway is expected for the self-signed build.)
• EnvKit-0.30.0-beta.28.msix — ⚠️ experimental. Self-signed, so you must trust the EnvKit (Self-Signed) certificate before installing, and it does not auto-update (electron-updater only updates the .exe). Use the .exe unless you specifically need MSIX.

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.27

What's new

• Branded new-project page — creating a blank project now writes a polished, theme-adaptive index.html (matches the EnvKit look) instead of a bare placeholder.
• Clearer "New project" button in Sites — outlined mint CTA with a + icon and an open/close chevron.
• Smoother maximize — the rounded window squares reliably when maximized (no more transparent corner gaps after launching/restoring maximized).

Plus the recent theme-color polish and Logs improvements (sort order, collapsible categories, themed pop-out windows).

Downloads

• EnvKit-Setup-0.30.0-beta.27.exe — recommended installer. Auto-updates in place. (SmartScreen → More info → Run anyway is expected for the self-signed build.)
• EnvKit-0.30.0-beta.27.msix — ⚠️ experimental. Self-signed, so you must trust the EnvKit (Self-Signed) certificate before installing, and it does not auto-update (electron-updater only updates the .exe). Use the .exe unless you specifically need MSIX.

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.26

What's new

• Refined dark theme — deeper near-black background with the mint/green accent, plus a more professional sidebar and a calmer ambient background.
• Onboarding accessibility — the first-run wizard now traps focus, moves focus to each step, supports Esc, and announces install progress to screen readers.
• Faster Default-PHP dropdown — cached across visits so it appears instantly instead of after a delay.
• Logs — logs UI and engine updates.
• Plus the earlier beta.25 fixes (MySQL/PostgreSQL data-dir init, self-hosted PHP downloads, onboarding progress).

Self-signed build — SmartScreen may warn on first run (More info → Run anyway). Existing installs update automatically.

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.25

Fixes & improvements

• Fixed MySQL/PostgreSQL "missing data directory" install errors — a fresh database now initializes correctly on first start, and if anything goes wrong you see the real cause instead of a generic message.
• PHP installs no longer break on php.net — every PHP version (7.4 → 8.5) is now self-hosted on EnvKit's GitHub mirror, so relocated/removed upstream archives (the PHP 7.4 404) can't break installs anymore.
• Onboarding shows live download progress — each service now displays a real percentage while its (multi-threaded) download runs.
• Reset → re-run setup — Settings → Reset relaunches straight into the onboarding wizard.
• Buttons now use a pointer cursor throughout.

Self-signed build — SmartScreen may warn on first run (More info → Run anyway). Existing installs update automatically.

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.24

What's new

• Hardware acceleration off by default — faster startup and avoids the flaky-GPU blank-window crash. You can re-enable the animated visuals in Settings → Performance.
• Brand globe in lite mode — when hardware acceleration is off, the dashboard now shows the EnvKit brand mark (theme-aware light/dark) instead of a generic wireframe.
• Reset to onboarding — Settings → Reset re-runs the first-run setup wizard. Your installed services, sites, and settings are kept.
• Laravel installer — Tools → Git & GitHub CLI can now install the global laravel CLI (laravel new) via Composer, and adds it to PATH.

Self-signed build — SmartScreen may warn on first run (More info → Run anyway). Existing installs update automatically.

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.23

EnvKit v0.30.0-beta.23

• Databases tab fix: MongoDB management no longer errors with "A bundled Node runtime is required" when you have Node installed via nvm/system — it now uses any available Node (same as mongo-express).
