PortBay 0.1.7

PortBay 0.1.7

macOS

• Apple Silicon (arm64) — signed, notarized DMG → PortBay-macos-arm64.dmg
• Intel (x86_64) — signed, notarized DMG (new this release) → PortBay-macos-x86_64.dmg

Both DMGs are Developer ID signed, notarized, and stapled. The download page auto-detects your Mac's chip.

Auto-update

latest.json advertises darwin-aarch64 and darwin-x86_64.

Linux

Linux (x86_64 AppImage + deb/rpm) is being finalized and will be attached to this release shortly.

Install

Download the DMG for your Mac, drag PortBay into Applications, press Play — your first site runs at https://yourproject.test with HTTPS. Also available via the Homebrew cask.

PortBay 0.1.5

Visual editing, screen capture, and a smarter agent runtime. Apple Silicon, macOS 11+. The DMG is signed, notarized, and stapled.

Visual preview editor (Pro, beta)

• Edit your UI live — pick elements in a project's preview, tweak styles and text, and write the changes back to source. Open it from a project's Preview quick action or via "Edit in browser".
• Behind the Early Access toggle in Settings while it's in beta — expect rough edges, and tell us what breaks.

Screen capture & recording (Pro)

• Capture screenshots and recordings of your running projects — selection overlay, hotkeys, and Quick Access.

Projects & runs

• Python is now a first-class project type.
• Mobile runs — pick a destination (simulator, emulator, or device), follow distinct run phases, and pair Android devices over Wi-Fi with a QR code.
• Integrations hub — a capability hub for connected tools, plus a customizable sidebar.
• Fixed: false "Needs attention" — readiness probes never actually ran, so every project sat in "Starting…" and then flagged unhealthy even while serving. Play → Running now reflects reality within seconds.

Dictation & speech

• True streaming ASR — Parakeet EOU 120M is the new default, with a Nemotron accuracy tier.
• Faster first dictation after launch (mic-first cold start), per-model recognizer bias for your jargon, and a microphone permission pre-flight with an actionable denied state.
• Polishing stays off the critical path — pre-flight, cache priming, and background swap.

Agent task board (Pro)

• Verification gates on completed runs, self-healing edits in the native runtime, a repo-map context engine for dispatch prompts, and teacher escalation that distills failed runs into learnings.

Security & reliability

• SSH transport, secret handling, and host-key trust (TOFU) hardening — including password-auth tunnels.
• Model-weight content digests, session-env scrubbing for child processes, and a fail-closed hosts helper.
• Boot now survives sidecar and port failures.

Updating

Existing users on 0.1.4 update in place via the built-in updater.

PortBay 0.1.4

On-device AI and speech, expanded. Apple Silicon, macOS 11+. The DMG is signed, notarized, and stapled.

AI page

• On-device image generation — Stable Diffusion via Apple's ml-stable-diffusion, plus an Apple Image Playground bridge.
• Text-to-speech — Kokoro voices, on device.
• Embeddings & model catalog — a live model catalog with on-device embeddings.
• Playgrounds — dedicated tabs to try speech-to-text, text-to-speech, embeddings, and image generation.

Speech-to-Text

• On-device transcription with Whisper and Parakeet (v2/v3) on the Neural Engine.
• Resident-engine transport for instant Fn-hold capture, with recognizer bias so your jargon survives.

CLI

• Install the portbay CLI to your PATH from Advanced settings.

Updating

Existing users on 0.1.3 update in place via the built-in updater.

PortBay 0.1.3

• Smart Dictation: a mic button on task cards and the SSH agent composer
  triggers macOS system dictation (no in-app recognizer), with an optional,
  off-by-default rewrite pass that cleans up the transcript on-device via
  Apple Intelligence (macOS 26+) or a local Ollama model. Push-to-talk via
  the Fn (🌐) key.
• SSH Access redesign: single-pane host workbench (list → detail → form),
  interactive terminal with split panes and broadcast input, smart port
  detection with one-click forwarding, host-key accept dialog, keyboard-
  interactive 2FA, SFTP file manager, remote port-forwarding page.
• ML remote-host tooling: GPU monitoring panel, quick-forward presets for ML
  dashboards, training-run notifications, tmux/screen + SLURM awareness,
  large-file transfer progress with resume, remote CUDA/env awareness.
• Per-project task board with LLM agent dispatch (Claude Code / Codex),
  hand-off documents, agent learnings memory, and MCP task tooling.
• Embedded database client (table browser, query workbench) absorbed into
  Databases and project detail.
• Project-backed certificate settings page; built-in language intelligence
  for the IDE surface.
• Reliability: poison-recovery on all production mutex locks, reference-counted
  sidecar status polling, cache-first PATH bootstrap (no login-shell stall on
  launch), SSH prompt failures surface as toasts, telemetry path scrubbing
  derived at runtime, sync status read without touching the keychain.

What's Changed

• docs(readme): task board + SSH workspace sections with screenshots by @TribalHouse in #28
• docs(comparisons): position the agent task board across all comparison pages by @TribalHouse in #29

Full Changelog: v0.1.2...v0.1.3

v0.1.2

First release fully built, signed, notarized, and stapled by CI. Incorporates
the unpublished 0.1.1 build. Apple Silicon (aarch64) only.

Added

• Zero-config public sharing of dev servers through Cloudflare quick tunnels,
  with live reachability status (not just process-alive).
• CLI and MCP parity with the app: databases, DNS, runtimes, project groups,
  tunnel teardown, sidecar status probe, and read-only access to certificates,
  logs, and the sandbox.
• PortBay-managed PHP-FPM runtime; nginx and Apache web-server management with
  validated config generation.
• In-app AI integrations panel: MCP setup as an environment picker with
  first-run nudge.
• First-run smoke project serves a local landing page; static sites get real
  play/pause lifecycle.
• Project avatars show the detected favicon or app icon.
• Duplicate hostname and port validation on project add/update.
• macOS polish: appearance-aware Dock icon with a Show-icon-in-Dock toggle,
  redesigned menu-bar tray popover, window vibrancy, new app icon with the
  macOS 26 Liquid Glass pipeline.
• Privacy Policy and Terms of Service pages in the docs site.
• Previously inert settings now work: launch at login, hosts-file management,
  certificate auto-renew, and related toggles.

Changed

• New projects default to HTTPS, and the dashboard shows the ports Caddy
  actually bound.
• The default domain suffix override is part of Pro.
• Session keychain item renamed to "PortBay Account".
• Docs: all 58 MCP tools documented; DNS and SSL guides synced to behavior.
• Dependency upgrades (thiserror 2, x509-parser 0.18, console 0.16, frontend
  dev dependencies).

Fixed

• HTTPS lands on port 443 instead of 8443: the wildcard listener is bind-tested
  at boot, TLS terminates via an explicit connection policy, and reconciliation
  pins to the boot-chosen port.
• Public shares no longer fail on origin SNI: tunnels route to the project's
  Caddy listener by scheme and serve over the loopback origin.
• MariaDB is no longer detected as MySQL (shared mysqld binary).
• Workspace projects start and stop reliably (process_compose_id parity).
• Redis data paths containing spaces work (quoted dir and unixsocket).
• Bundled Mailpit is detected, dnsmasq is probed over UDP, and port conflicts
  on :80 are attributed to the real holder.
• process-compose receives its environment as a KEY=value sequence, fixing a
  daemon crash on boot.
• PortBay never runs competitor binaries (ServBay/Herd/MAMP/XAMPP/FlyEnv) —
  discovery stays read-only; importing their projects remains supported.

Release infrastructure

• CI builds the DMG signed, notarized, and stapled (.app and DMG both), with
  a CycloneDX SBOM and a <100 MB installer budget guard.
• Updater signing key rotated to a password-protected key (2026-05-26).

Full changelog: v0.1.0...v0.1.2

v0.1.0

What's Changed

• docs: screenshots, READMEs, SEO comparison cluster, theme + icon fixes by @TribalHouse in #15
• Rotate updater signing key + ignore .secrets/ by @TribalHouse in #16

Full Changelog: preview...v0.1.0

PortBay preview (unsigned test build)

Unsigned preview build for testing the latest changes via try.portbay.app. macOS can't verify it on download, so on first launch: right-click PortBay.app → Open (or run: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/PortBay.app). A signed + notarized v0.1.0 will replace this once release signing is enabled.
