ServBay 1.15.0 Update: Embracing the Bun & Deno Ecosystem

After a month of dedicated work, ServBay is rolling out its 1.15.0 update. We firmly believe that an excellent local dev environment must not only be stable and efficient but also keep pace with the evolution of technology. ServBay's mission is to eliminate the hurdles of environment configuration, allowing you to focus on what matters most—creation.

This ServBay 1.15.0 update not only seamlessly integrates Bun and Deno, two highly-anticipated next-generation JavaScript runtimes, into your workflow but also introduces deep optimizations across site management, automatic backups, and user experience. We are committed to making ServBay your go-to tool for exploring new technologies and boosting development efficiency.

New Features - Embracing the JavaScript Ecosystem and Boosting Management Efficiency

To enable developers to experience and apply cutting-edge technologies locally and to further simplify daily management, version 1.15.0 brings the following powerful new features:

  • Bun Support Added: An all-in-one JavaScript toolkit that includes a blazing-fast runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager. You can now launch a Bun environment in ServBay with a single click, enjoying its extreme performance and development convenience to build web applications with ease.

  • Deno Support Added: A modern and secure JavaScript/TypeScript runtime created by the original author of Node.js. With its strong emphasis on security and first-class TypeScript support, Deno is an excellent choice for building reliable and maintainable services and tools. ServBay's integration allows you to get started quickly and explore its unique features.

  • PHP 'Default Version' Setting: In site management, we've introduced a new "Default Version" concept. You can set a commonly used PHP version as the global default. Afterward, when creating new sites, simply select "Default Version," and it will automatically align with the global setting. This greatly simplifies version switching and unified management across multiple projects.

  • Smart Backup Retention Policy: The automatic backup feature now supports setting a retention period in days. The system will automatically delete old backups that exceed the specified number of days, helping you effectively manage disk space and achieve intelligent, worry-free backup management without the need for manual cleanup.

User Experience Optimizations - Finely Tuned for a Smoother Workflow

We pay attention to every detail that can enhance your productivity. In this version, we have made several refinements to the user experience:

  • Revamped Site Management UI: We've redesigned the layout of the site management page to prevent the scrollbar from obscuring crucial action buttons, ensuring all information and functions are clearly visible for a smoother operational experience.

  • Enhanced 'Troubleshooting' Capabilities: We've improved the detection logic for database configurations and passwords. When you encounter connection issues, the "Troubleshooting" feature can now help you pinpoint the root cause more accurately.

  • Optimized Database Password Reset: The password reset process for MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL has been refactored to be more stable and clear, providing better feedback.

  • Added Contextual Help Buttons: We've added help buttons to various feature interfaces. When you're unsure about a function, a single click will take you directly to the relevant help documentation for immediate assistance.

Bug Fixes

This version also includes various minor optimizations and bug fixes to further enhance the overall stability and performance of ServBay, providing you with a more reliable development companion.
