Changelog

All notable changes to PyAMPP will be documented in this file.

[1.0.8] - 2026-06-12

Added

  • Dynamic Theme Toggle: Introduced a Light/Dark Mode switch in the application footer for instant theme switching.
  • Auto-Run on Startup: Added a setting to automatically launch PyAMPP when Windows starts via registry integration.
  • Unified UI Theming: Fixed unstyled tab backgrounds (Logs, PHP CLI, Global PHP, Settings) to seamlessly match the custom premium ocean-blue dashboard cards.
  • Readable Light Mode Tabs: Fixed tab header text color contrast issues when using the Light Mode theme.
  • Automated SSL Setup: The Setup Wizard and Updater now automatically execute the SSL Auto-Fix routine upon Apache extraction, generating self-signed certificates and enabling HTTPS to prevent first-time startup errors.

[1.0.7] - 2026-05-30

Added

  • Diagnostics & SSL Checker Tab: Integrated a real-time HTTP reachability/latency scanner, MySQL database TCP tests, PHP CLI execution checks, and a detailed SSL certificate inspector.
  • One-Click SSL Auto-Fixer & Regenerator: Automatically generates local development self-signed keys/certificates, registers virtual host SSL directives in Apache on port 443, and supports manual one-click regeneration, active SSL configuration file editing, and direct certificate directory exploration.
  • Htdocs Shortcut Button: Added a dedicated Htdocs 📁 button in the Apache Web Server control card footer, allowing one-click access to the Apache server root directory.

[1.0.6] - 2026-05-27

Added

  • Premium Card-Based Dashboard: Revamped the row-based environment control panel into a high-end, visual control center with unified Slate 900 backgrounds and custom card frames.
  • Process-Level Resource Metrics: Real-time tracking of PID, CPU utilization %, and RAM memory consumption (MB) dynamically aggregated for both Apache and MySQL servers.
  • System-Wide Health Monitor: Dashboard cards displaying real-time System CPU, System RAM, and drive Disk Space usage with sleek progress-indicator bars.
  • Config Shortcuts: One-click edit buttons inside the cards to instantly open httpd.conf, my.ini, or php.ini in the default text editor.
  • Dedicated Logs Tab: Created a dedicated tab for logs, freeing up 250px of vertical space and enabling fully responsive dashboard auto-scaling in minimized/compact windows.

Changed

  • Preset Overwrite Logic: Remote preset downloads now completely overwrite the local cache instead of merging, ensuring removed or dead links are cleanly purged from selection dropdowns.
  • Latest Default Presets: Upgraded default configuration fallback URLs to point to working PHP 8.5.6 and MySQL 8.4.4 LTS releases, resolving old dead URLs.

[1.0.5] - 2026-04-27

Added

  • PHP 8.5.5 Support: Added support for the latest PHP 8.5.5 presets in the Setup Wizard and configuration engine.
  • Application Update Notifications: Implemented an in-app notification system that detects newer versions of PyAMPP on GitHub and provides a direct link to the latest release page.
  • Manual Update Check Button: Added a "Check for Updates" button to the application footer, allowing users to manually refresh presets and check for software updates at any time.
  • Metadata Support in Presets: The preset system now supports optional metadata (like latest version info) without impacting component lists or breaking compatibility with older application versions.

Changed

  • Improved Preset Merging Logic: Refactored the merging engine to ensure that newly fetched versions from the server are prioritized and appear at the top of selection menus.
  • Consistent UI Arrangement: Standardized the category order (PHP, Apache, MySQL, phpMyAdmin) in all configuration menus to ensure a consistent user experience.
  • Centralized Preset Management: Consolidated preset update logic into a unified helper function to improve maintainability and ensure UI reactivity.

[1.0.4] - 2026-04-26

Added

  • Automated Preset Synchronization: The application now automatically checks for and fetches the latest PHP, Apache, and MySQL version presets from GitHub on startup.
  • Self-Healing Path Validation: Added a startup check that verifies the existence of configured binaries. PyAMPP automatically detects missing components and resets the Setup Wizard if needed.
  • Automatic Server Restart on Save: Saving changes in the Settings tab now automatically restarts any active Apache or MySQL servers to apply changes immediately.

Changed

  • Persistent AppData Configuration: Migrated the configuration system to the Windows AppData/Roaming directory to ensure settings persist across updates and moves.
  • htdocs Data Preservation: Implemented surgical cleanup logic that preserves the Apache24/htdocs folder during updates or re-installations.
  • Offline Graceful Handling: Enhanced networking logic to detect offline states and skip update checks seamlessly.
  • Improved Update Safety: Updated component re-installation logic to protect MySQL data and Apache web files.
  • Enhanced Progress Visibility: Refactored the "Start All" sequence for better progress bar accuracy during sequential setups.

Fixed

  • Stability & Import Fixes: Resolved a critical UnboundLocalError during dashboard component installations and improved global import handling.

[1.0.3] - 2026-04-25

Added

  • GitHub-Managed Version Presets: Synchronizes with a remote repository to fetch the latest verified component versions (PHP, Apache, MySQL) without requiring an application update.
  • Robust MySQL Port Configuration: Resolved an issue where custom MySQL ports were not consistently applied. Automatically configures my.ini and synchronizes with phpMyAdmin.
  • Real-Time Settings Synchronization: Changes to ports or paths are immediately reflected in the dashboard for accurate monitoring and control.
  • Setup Wizard Enhancements: Introduced a loading state that prioritizes fetching the latest presets from GitHub on startup.

Fixed

  • Known Issues (v1.0.3): Note that v1.0.3 had known issues with htdocs data loss and configuration volatility which were addressed in v1.0.4.

[1.0.2] - 2026-04-25

Added

  • Version Preset Selection: The Setup Wizard now allows you to choose specific versions for each component from a curated list of presets (PHP 7.4 to 8.4).
  • Hardened Process Isolation: Improved binary execution logic to prevent DLL conflicts (specifically VCRUNTIME140.dll mismatches) by running services in a strictly isolated environment.
  • Smart Reinstallation: Cleanly updates or switches binaries while strictly preserving existing MySQL data directories.
  • Intelligent Module Mapping: Automatically detects and maps the correct PHP module name based on the active version.

[1.0.1] - 2026-04-25

Added

  • Improved Global Actions: "Start All", "Stop All", and "Restart All" buttons now intelligently enable/disable based on the service state.
  • Dynamic Progress Bar: The progress bar is now hidden by default and only appears during active setup or download operations.
  • Version Branding: Consistent version display in the application window title and footer.

[1.0.0] - 2026-04-23

Added

  • Initial Release: Standalone Windows executable for automating portable Apache, MySQL, and PHP stacks.
  • Core Management: Dashboard for controlling services, managing configurations, and viewing real-time logs.
  • Setup Wizard: Automated retrieval and configuration of official component binaries.
