Changelog

Stay up to date with the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes in Depfloy.

May 10, 2026

New Features

  • Console Layout - The new Console replaces the old separate "server detail" and "project detail" pages with a unified sidebar + main-panel layout. Server screens (Summary, Security, Database, etc.) and project tabs (Domains, Environments, Logs, etc.) now open in place rather than navigating to a new page. Old bookmarks continue to work via redirects. See Console Overview.
  • Sidebar Group by + Pin - Group servers in the sidebar by Environment (Production / Staging / Dev) or Server type. Pin frequently-used servers to a separate group at the top. Both choices follow you across browsers and devices.
  • Server Setup Pane - Newly-created servers show a dedicated setup view with progress, the bootstrap command (for manual installs), and clear failure recovery — instead of dropping you into a half-installed server detail page.
  • Server Transfer Between Organizations - Move a server (and all its projects) from one organization to another in the same workspace. Available in the server's Security section.
  • Console Monitoring Overview - New top-bar tab listing every currently-firing alert across the servers you can access, with quick links to each alert.
  • Failed Deployment Log Sheet - Click the red "failed" badge on a project header to open the full deployment log in a side sheet without leaving the Console.

Improvements

  • Deployments Index Redesign - The /deployments page now has stats summaries, multi-select status filters, search across project name / branch / commit / message, and per-row actions (View Log, Rerun, Roll back).
  • Settings + Configuration Split - Personal settings (profile, notifications, SSH keys, API tokens, billing, members) now live under /settings/.... Account-level admin (server providers, maintenance template) lives under /configuration/.... Old URLs redirect.
  • Member Roles & Scoping - Reworked member permissions with five built-in roles (Owner, Admin, Manager, Developer, Viewer) plus per-server / per-project scoping. The Members page now has a "Compare roles" dialog and an "Add existing user" flow for users who already belong to another organization in your account.
  • Status-Aware Background Job Actions - The actions menu on a background job adapts to its current state. Failed jobs gain "Force Restart" and "Clear Logs" actions for quick recovery.
  • Background Job Log Auto-Refresh - The job log viewer refreshes itself automatically while open, with a clear last-fetched timestamp and a manual refresh button.
  • Project Background Jobs Tab - Project pages now show the same managed-services list (Octane, Reverb, Horizon, Nightwatch) and custom background jobs as the server-level view, with feature parity.

Bug Fixes

  • Deploy Hang Recovery - Deployments that previously could appear stuck for 10-15 minutes in the "Restarting background services..." step now auto-fail after 25 minutes and surface a clear failure. Background-service restarts have hard time limits to prevent indefinite waits.
  • WebSocket Connection Indicator - When live updates cannot reach your browser (corporate proxies, captive portals), an amber banner now appears so it is clear that live updates have paused. See Developer Guide.
  • Custom Deploy Command Conflicts - Custom deploy scripts that included php artisan reverb:restart previously caused intermittent deployment hangs. Documented as an anti-pattern; remove that line from your script if you have it.
