Changelog

What changed on MainPath. For people who work with it.

New features

  • Project hosting: Beszel is in the Docker App catalog: a self-hosted monitoring hub with HTTPS, a generated admin account, and data under /opt/hosted-services.
  • Projects: Project export can include Docker Apps: URL, server, install paths, and credentials, with secrets optionally in the ZIP.

New features

  • Projects: Native macOS apps in Swift and native Windows apps in C#/.NET are available as project types.
  • Releases: Native desktop apps build a macOS DMG or Windows EXE in CI, with optional public download and store upload.
  • Developer setup: Native desktop stacks suggest Xcode for macOS; Windows apps run locally with the .NET SDK.

New features

  • Homepage texts: Use-case pages you can send: why not WordPress, migration, agency client projects, native apps plus backend.
  • Homepage texts: MCP has its own nav page. A copyable prompt calls platform_projects_import_local to pull existing code onto MainPath (supported stacks only).
  • Homepage texts: The features page lists the full scope by area, collapsible.
  • Connections: Microsoft Store credentials can be stored and assigned to a Windows project (Partner Center + Entra).
  • Store entries: Docs for bundle IDs, Play package names and Android upload-key import are in the navigation.

Bug fixes

  • Homepage texts: Blog covers are photographs instead of graphics. The EveLin logo on the homepage is the official smiley.
  • Homepage texts: Footer shows a single logo that follows light and dark mode.

New features

  • Project hosting: Backups cover MySQL and uploads next to the backend. Internal, public with Basic Auth, or managed in MainPath.
  • Project view: Development now includes a Backups section: list, restore, and schedule (default daily 04:00, last 14 daily backups).

New features

  • Projects: Missing developer tools no longer block opening or cloning a project. With “Open anyway” you keep working and install them later.

Bug fixes

  • Developer setup: Git is configured straight from the identity settings after installation instead of running the installer again.
  • Design: Cancelling a running tool installation is clearly marked as such and asks for confirmation first.

Bug fixes

  • Projects: When uploading a project image on a phone, the remove and camera buttons sit inside the preview and are reliably tappable.

New features

  • Compliance: New compliance area for organisations: data processing agreement, technical and organisational measures, privacy policy and scope statement are available as PDFs in German and English, together with the list of sub-processors and a ZIP export.
  • Compliance: You maintain your organisation’s legal details such as address and contact person in the settings. They flow automatically into the generated contract documents.
  • Credentials: You create, review and revoke personal API keys in your account settings. The CLI and your own automation authenticate with them without a browser login. The secret value is shown once after creation.
  • Projects: Projects can be exported as a PDF with a cover page, an introduction and optionally the credentials. That helps with handovers to customers and with documentation.
  • Projects: Native Android projects can use Kotlin. A dedicated Kotlin package type in the pipeline comes later, as with Composer and Maven.
  • Store entries: Imported Android upload keystores can be downloaded from the project again.

Bug fixes

  • Project hosting: Updating a server’s SSH credentials no longer resets its monitoring setting.
  • Design: The save notice bar can be swiped away on narrow screens, and cancel buttons in the wizard are properly centred.

Bug fixes

  • Remote development: When a workspace is offline you get a proper error page with an explanation instead of raw technical output.
  • Remote development: The browser-based development environment loads reliably again, including access through the workspace tunnel.
  • Workspaces: Links to deleted workspaces lead to the workspace overview instead of an error loop.
  • Workspaces: MainPath Toolbox updates install in the background inside cloud workspaces, without a dialog to confirm.

New features

  • Connections: You can create Firebase projects while connecting them and pick the folder and billing account in the process.
  • Connections: Mailtrap connections show how much of your sending domains and plan limits you are using. When a limit is reached, the message explains why.
  • Connections: Credentials for Firebase, SMTP and Mailtrap are validated before saving, so a broken connection shows up immediately.

Bug fixes

  • Errors: Sentry is only set up when you have your own Sentry connection. Without one, no empty organisation is created any more.
  • Design: Buttons in dialogs share a consistent height, and the help for Firebase connections opens without errors again.

New features

  • Connections: Connections appear as cards showing their type and the associated account. Firebase connects either through OAuth or a service account file, and Mailtrap has been added as a new type.

Bug fixes

  • Computers: Organisation administrators can delete computers belonging to team members.
  • Workspaces: Workspaces are marked ready as soon as the agent is reachable, so the remote desktop connection becomes available sooner.

New features

  • Projects: Native iOS apps in Swift and native Android apps in Kotlin are available as project types.
  • Developer setup: Projects with a native stack suggest the matching tools: Xcode for iOS, Java for Android.

Bug fixes

  • Billing: The pre-release plan now includes 25 projects instead of 10.

New features

  • Connections: Sentry as well as Google and Firebase can be linked as organisation-wide connections over OAuth and then used in projects.
  • Connections: The connections area has been reworked: a tile grid with brand icons, the picker in the top right, an improved Sentry form with host mode and a Firebase project selector.

Bug fixes

  • Dashboard: Sessions stay stable because tokens are refreshed more reliably. Full server monitoring is still in preparation; error tracking runs through Sentry.
  • Remote development: Local previews and development servers stay reachable under the project URL through the workspace proxy.
  • Workspaces: Inside cloud workspaces, projects, the organisation, and the session show up correctly in the overview again.
  • Workspaces: Workspace connections run over a dedicated VPN domain, which makes them more stable.
  • Developer setup: If Homebrew or asdf are missing, the tool card explains why instead of just showing a disabled button. On Windows, Docker Desktop checks upfront whether WSL2 is set up.
  • Releases: The auto updater on Windows no longer starts the app twice after an update and copes with installation paths containing spaces.
  • Projects: Bundle IDs and store accounts are displayed correctly when comparing project changes.

New features

  • Releases: For macOS apps you configure Developer ID signing, notarisation, Mac App Store publishing and public download independently of each other.
  • Connections: Microsoft Store and Azure Artifact Signing are available as new connections for Windows.
  • Store entries: Linking App Store and Play Store accounts loads the apps that already exist there. You then pick the bundle ID and package name from a list instead of typing them.
  • Developer setup: Every developer tool has its own menu with version, installation path, links to the editor and the option to remove it again.
  • Dashboard: The app settings show environment, version number and build under “About”.

Bug fixes

  • Store entries: Forms for Microsoft Store and Azure open reliably, and Windows Store fields are kept when duplicating a component.
  • Design: Error notifications carry MainPath logo and link to MainPath instead of internal pages.

New features

  • Credentials: Credentials for the App Store and Play Store are checked against the respective store when saving, before the connection is accepted.

Bug fixes

  • Developer setup: Docker Desktop is detected on macOS even when its command line lives in the app path. ChatGPT Desktop is recognised correctly again after Codex was merged into it.
  • Workspaces: Freshly provisioned cloud workspaces start even when the VS Code extension is not prepared yet.
  • Releases: The auto updater on Windows finds installed tools in the Chocolatey, Scoop and WinGet paths.
  • Design: Buttons in the developer setup show only the action, because the tool name already appears above them.

New features

  • Workspaces: A step-by-step wizard guides you through connecting to a workspace: set up the VPN, install the client, connect. The instructions differ for Ubuntu and macOS.
  • Workspaces: Windows workspaces are prepared so RDP sign-in can use MainPath login. Creating them comes later; Ubuntu is what you can pick today.

Bug fixes

  • Workspaces: The connection dialog stays usable after a failed sync, and the project sidebar appears filled the first time you open it.
  • Workspaces: Remote desktop connections prefer the direct address and are therefore established more reliably.
  • Remote development: Starting remote development re-reads local projects, and installed tools are detected again after setup.

Bug fixes

  • Credentials: App Store Connect keys are accepted even when agreements at Apple are still outstanding.

New features

  • Workspaces: Your platform password is enough to connect to a workspace. A separate workspace secret is no longer needed.
  • Remote development: Missing developer tools appear in a clear dialog when starting a project instead of in a system message.

Bug fixes

  • Releases: Public downloads survive an update of the organisation’s infrastructure.

New features

  • Credentials: The store credentials dialog links directly to the matching documentation.

Bug fixes

  • Organizations: Newly created organisations appear immediately. Setup in the background no longer blocks the interface.
  • Workspaces: Several workspaces can be created in parallel without the creation failing.

New features

  • Projects: When creating a project, duplicate configuration IDs for the app and homepage are rejected so that no conflicting paths are created.

Bug fixes

  • Workspaces: SSH and remote desktop connections point at the correct hostnames, and connection files work more reliably in the Windows app on macOS.

New features

  • Errors: Sentry connections get single sign-on automatically. Your team signs in to Sentry with MainPath login.

Bug fixes

  • Organizations: Organisations can be deleted even while their infrastructure is being torn down.

Bug fixes

  • Organizations: Signing in has become more stable: profiles survive loading errors, and unexpected sign-outs happen less often.
  • Organizations: Switching between organisations happens through a searchable dialog. The name can be edited directly when creating one.
  • Errors: Links to Sentry consistently use the same address, and signing in to an organisation-bound Sentry instance works straight from MainPath.
  • Homepage texts: Homepage content in Markdown files is correctly recognised and processed as Markdown.

New features

  • Project hosting: You can set your own base domain for development and test environments instead of using MainPath’s default domain.
  • Workspaces: Cloud workspaces are usable right after creation. A separate VPN login beforehand is no longer needed.

New features

  • Releases: Go packages and extensions for VS Code and Cursor can be published as a public download.

Bug fixes

  • Homepage texts: The media browser for homepage content has been reworked: folders appear immediately, there are grid and list views, and uploading sits right next to them.
  • Projects: Extension packages stay visible after saving and carry the right label and icon.
  • Releases: Automatic updates, the command line installer and the VS Code extension fetch their files from the public download server.

New features

  • Project hosting: You assign servers separately for production and non-production. Linux servers can be monitored, and desktop apps can be offered as a public download.
  • Projects: You enable or disable Google Cloud and Firebase per organisation. Without Google Cloud, no empty folders are created any more.

Bug fixes

  • Projects: Docker is only required for projects that actually need it. Pure homepage projects open without Docker.
  • Remote development: Cloud workspaces use a configurable port for access, so the connection works across different environments.
  • Workspaces: Ubuntu workspaces fall back to local sign-in when the directory service has problems.

Bug fixes

  • Design: Toast messages appear more clearly and behave more consistently.

New features

  • Homepage texts: Major editor overhaul. Blocks can be reordered via drag and drop, blog and portfolio have dedicated editors, images are managed in folders, and a commit dialog with diff shows what changed before saving.
  • Homepage texts: First release of the new GitCMS editor for website content directly from MainPath, including roles for content editors.
  • Store entries: New editor for App Store and Play Store metadata with section overview, language and platform badge (flag plus iOS and Android icon), and improved forms for texts, URLs, and keywords.
  • Store entries: Horizontal scrolling keeps upload on the right. Replace on hover; delete via the top-right icon with confirmation. Wrong-sized images can be cropped interactively.
  • Store entries: Changelog per locale instead of under general info, dedicated Google Data Safety section, store graphics side by side when space allows.
  • Store entries: Loading animation when switching repositories, platforms, or variants; unified layout for whitelabel projects too.
  • Errors: Sentry issues from your projects directly in MainPath, filtered by repository, with a link to the detail view in Sentry.
  • Credentials: Redesigned tab layout; system configuration from generated GitOps YAML is visible and editable.
  • Releases: Redesigned deployment presentation and clearer empty states when no releases exist yet.

Bug fixes

  • Store entries: Fixed a display issue in the section overview.
  • Credentials: Decrypted system values display correctly in the two column layout again.
  • Projects: Spacing on empty project cards corrected.

New features

  • Credentials: A new project area brings GitOps environment variables and credentials together in one place instead of scattering them across the configuration.

New features

  • Releases: Deployments shown as release cards per repository: version, status, and actions at a glance.
  • Releases: Browse repository versions and trigger rollouts from MainPath.
  • Workspaces: Assignee shown as an avatar chip on the workspace card.
  • Remote development: Workspaces use stable gateway URLs; phpMyAdmin appears in the development environment list.
  • Project hosting: Cleaner computer tiles and hosting grouping.

Bug fixes

  • Remote development: Interrupted workspace connections resume automatically after login.
  • Computers: Open overview launches in a new browser tab; button style aligned with connect.
  • Remote development: Return URLs from dev and local environments are accepted correctly.

New features

  • Computers: New navigation section for registered developer machines, with owner chip and online status.
  • Computers: Refined cards and shell routing.
  • Projects: Environment URLs (dev, staging, prod) display correctly; optional domain setup for the project.

Bug fixes

  • Computers: Top navigation bar layout corrected on different screen sizes.

New features

  • Project view: Sidebar navigation with tabs for dashboard, environments, releases, repositories, and more.
  • Projects: Web platform for React Native (Expo) apps can be enabled when creating a project.

Bug fixes

  • Workspaces: The frontend can render macOS workspaces. Creating them comes later; under Workspaces you currently pick Ubuntu.

Bug fixes

  • Organizations: Special characters in organization names are validated and rejected with a clear message.

New features

  • Billing: Trial status visible in the organization.

Bug fixes

  • Projects: After creating an organization, you reliably land on the project overview.
  • Design: MainPath follows your system light and dark mode again.

New features

  • Projects: Refreshed project UI and clearer package visibility when creating a project.
  • Dashboard: Onboarding hint for newly created organizations.

Bug fixes

  • Organizations: Provisioning runs in the background; the UI no longer blocks during setup.

New features

  • Projects: Terraform package options selectable when creating a new project.

This changelog is updated as new versions of MainPath are rolled out.
