What's new in v1.4.1

Settings page

  • New Preferences → Local Debug Toolkit page with a switch for each tool (WP Debug, WP Config, PHP Settings). Tools you turn off are hidden from every site's Tools tab
  • Switches now match Local's own style

Fixes for restarts that hang and PHP settings that don't apply

  • If Local was quit without its site services shutting down, leftover nginx and PHP processes could keep holding a site's ports. Restarting the site would then hang, and saved PHP settings (like Memory Limit) would never show up in Site Health
  • PHP Settings now spots these leftover processes, lists them, and offers to stop them and restart the site
  • Restart Site stops waiting after 60 seconds instead of spinning forever

Security improvements

  • wp-config.php backups are now kept in the site's conf folder instead of the public web folder, where they could be downloaded. Existing backups are moved automatically
  • The debug log is now written to the site's logs/wp-debug.log instead of wp-content/debug.log, which anyone who could reach the site could open in a browser. Sites switch to the new location the next time you flip a debug switch
  • Updates are verified against GitHub's checksum and only downloaded from GitHub
  • The add-on no longer writes through symbolic links, which protects you when working with imported sites
  • PHP setting values are checked before they're saved
  • On multisite, the in-admin Debug Log page is limited to super admins

Other

  • Memory Limit now accepts -1 (no limit)
