DevBox Pro v1.0.7
🚀 DevBox Pro v1.0.7
Stable Release | More reliable local runtimes, databases, and service startup for PHP & Node.js development
🆕 What's New in v1.0.7
✨ Reliability & Performance Improvements
🌐 Web Server Stability
- Hardened Apache and Nginx startup to better reclaim ports, wait for stale bindings to clear, and reduce failed starts on Windows
- Improved restart behavior for restart-sensitive services by keeping them warm during quick project stop/start cycles
- Refined Nginx forwarded-header handling so proxied HTTPS requests preserve the correct FastCGI and application-facing scheme details
🧰 PHP & Runtime Tooling
- Improved project-aware PHP and Composer command handling, including support for shell operators in routed commands
- Updated bundled PHP download URLs to current upstream assets
- Strengthened Windows runtime repair by synchronizing required VC++ DLLs for PHP and related services
- Installer builds can now silently install a bundled Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable during setup when needed
💾 Database & Import Workflows
- Improved database import progress reporting and large SQL import performance
- Added more resilient PostgreSQL startup retry handling for transient failures
- Expanded MongoDB operations with
mongoshintegration and better binary management support
🛡️ Web Server Hardening
- Improved port availability checks for Apache, Nginx, and Redis to reduce collisions and false-start states
- Hardened Windows stop/start reclaim flows so web server ports clear more predictably between restarts
- Reduced mixed-server startup races when multiple web server versions or front-door owners are active
- Preserved correct HTTPS behavior behind proxies by tightening forwarded-header and FastCGI override handling
🧹 Fixes Included In This Release
- Fixed Windows web server restart races that could leave Apache or Nginx ports stuck in use
- Fixed stale port bindings causing intermittent startup failures for Apache, Nginx, and Redis
- Fixed PHP runtime issues on Windows caused by missing or outdated local VC++ runtime DLLs
- Fixed database import flows that were slower or less transparent on large SQL files
- Fixed transient PostgreSQL startup failures with improved retry behavior
- Fixed MongoDB database operations on installs missing a usable shell client

DevBox Pro v1.0.6
🚀 DevBox Pro v1.0.6
Stable Release | Your all-in-one local development environment for PHP & Node.js
🆕 What's New in v1.0.6
✨ New Features
🌍 Public Internet Sharing
- Share running projects publicly with Cloudflare Tunnel or zrok from the project detail screen
- Per-project Share on Internet toggle with optional auto-start tunnel support
- Public tunnels now support both Nginx and Apache projects, including mixed front-door proxy setups
- Cloudflare tunnel traffic is now stabilized with local proxy handling for redirects, cookies, and absolute local
.testURLs - Cloudflare public URLs are only surfaced once the
trycloudflare.comhostname is resolvable, reducing broken fresh-tunnel links - zrok public URL detection has been updated for current CLI output formats
🛡️ Web Server Hardening
- Hardened mixed Nginx and Apache front-door handling when multiple projects and server versions are active
- Improved proxy behavior so tunnel traffic keeps redirects, cookies, and absolute
.testURLs on the public hostname - Reduced false-ready tunnel states by waiting for Cloudflare Quick Tunnel hostnames to become resolvable before surfacing them
- Improved web server readiness and startup coordination to reduce port collisions and unstable starts
🧹 Fixes Included In This Release
- Fixed public tunnel routing when multiple projects are running across Nginx and Apache
- Fixed Cloudflare tunnel sessions showing the wrong project when multiple projects are shared
- Fixed public tunnel flows that redirected browsers back to local
.testURLs - Fixed stale or not-yet-ready Cloudflare Quick Tunnel hostnames being shown as live too early
- Fixed multi-server version issues when running multiple web server versions simultaneously
