Windows Version Release Notes

Version 1.21.4

Release Date: June 28, 2026

New Features

• Quick Access to Database Management Tools: Added phpMyAdmin and Adminer icons to the title bar of the MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL configuration pages, allowing you to open the corresponding database management page in your browser with one click (now aligned with the macOS version).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where phpMyAdmin and Adminer would still show as "Installed" even if the installation failed; now files will be properly verified.
• Fixed an issue where the uninstall buttons for phpMyAdmin and Adminer were missing, making them impossible to uninstall.
• Enhanced MySQL / MariaDB password change: even if the root password has been externally modified and is inconsistent with the ServBay database record, password changes can now still succeed; added a "Reset Password" button to quickly restore the root password to the default value (now aligned with the macOS version).
• Removed the invalid "Skip Network" option from the MySQL / MariaDB / MongoDB / PostgreSQL configurations (Windows does not use Unix Socket, so this option is not applicable).

Version 1.21.1

Release Date: June 23, 2026

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the issue in the official release where AI assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc. were always unable to connect to ServBay and kept prompting "ServBay is not running"; the built-in MCP Server can now connect stably
• Fixed the issue where residual files after uninstalling packages (such as Python) would cause reinstallation or redownload of the same package to fail; uninstallation can now reliably clean up read-only and occupied files

Version 1.21.0

Release Date: June 21, 2026

New Features

• System Information & Metrics for AI Assistants: The built-in MCP server adds the same two new read-only tools as macOS—get_system_info and get_system_metrics—so AI assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex can read system information and real-time CPU / memory / storage / network usage, all locally
  • Read-only and fully local: these tools only observe; your data never leaves your machine

Bug Fixes

• Improved MCP bridge connection stability: eliminated a brief window during instance handover that could cause AI clients to incorrectly report "ServBay is not running"
• Fixed system metrics occasionally returning invalid numeric values (NaN / Infinity) under certain conditions

Version 1.20.0

Release Date: June 15, 2026

New Features

• ServBay MCP Server (AI Assistant Integration): ServBay comes with a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, allowing AI programming assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to directly manage your local ServBay development environment
  • In the settings page, "One-click Access to AI Clients": Automatically detects and writes Claude Code / Cursor / Codex configuration, with one-click removal and restoration support
  • Provides the same set of AI tools as the macOS version, covering service start/stop/status/logs, package install/uninstall/enable/switch versions, site creation/editing/deletion, database creation/listing/password change, SSL certificate issuance/deletion/renewal, hosts, Ollama models, system diagnostics, environment overview, backup viewing, service configuration reading, etc. (dnsmasq-related features are exclusive to macOS)
  • Let AI assistants help you build websites, create databases, configure certificates, and install packages—all completed locally
  • Privacy & Security: Fully local operation, keys never leave your machine; local bridging is authenticated via token, and destructive actions such as deletion or password change require secondary confirmation

Version 1.16.2

Release Date: May 20, 2026

Bug Fixes

• Emergency fix: In v1.16.1, Apache Maven appeared in the package list, but the install button was missing, making installation impossible
• Synchronized fix for Maven not being marked as "enabled" after installation, which caused PATH injection and the mvn command entry to not work

Version 1.16.1

Release Date: May 20, 2026

New Packages

• Added support for Apache Maven 3 (3.9.15), aligning Java ecosystem build tools with the macOS version
• mvn command works out of the box: automatically infers JAVA_HOME from the OpenJDK currently enabled in ServBay; if ServBay doesn’t have OpenJDK installed, falls back to the system-set JAVA_HOME or infers from java.exe found in PATH
• Supports specifying both Maven version and JDK version for compilation simultaneously in the project .servbay.config via MAVEN_VERSION and JAVA_VERSION
• If no available JDK is detected, a clear instruction is printed to prompt users to install OpenJDK in ServBay before running mvn

Version 1.16.0

Release Date: May 16, 2026

New Features

• Added "versioned command aliases": for multi-version runtimes, additional {command}-{major_version}.cmd style entries are generated in the bin directory, allowing you to call any installed version directly without switching the ServBay default version
  • PHP: php-8.3.cmd, php-cgi-8.3.cmd, etc.
  • Node.js: node-22.cmd, npm-22.cmd, npx-22.cmd, corepack-22.cmd, yarn-22.cmd, pnpm-22.cmd
  • Python: python-3.13.cmd, etc., with built-in intelligent recognition rules for the python2 / python3 family
  • Go: go-1.25.cmd, etc.
  • Java: java-21.cmd, etc.
  • Ruby: ruby-3.4.cmd, gem-3.4.cmd, bundle-3.4.cmd, bundler-3.4.cmd, rake-3.4.cmd, irb-3.4.cmd, erb-3.4.cmd, rdoc-3.4.cmd, ri-3.4.cmd, rbs-3.4.cmd, racc-3.4.cmd, ridk-3.4.cmd, 12 in total
• Automatic completion for existing users upgrading: through database migration, already installed runtimes will also get these versioned cmd files, no reinstallation needed
