v5.5

This release adds a few new features (PHP Doctor, a better onboarding experience and custom environment variable support) to PHP Monitor. This release also includes a various bugfixes that should improve the experience for new users or users who have difficulties with their Valet setup. All users are recommended to upgrade.

Upgrading

The recommended way of upgrading is running brew update-reset && brew upgrade phpmon after you've installed PHP Monitor using Homebrew. This always gets you the latest and greatest stable version of PHP Monitor. If you did not use Homebrew to install the app, you can download a zip below (by expanding Assets and choosing phpmon.zip).

What's New

• Added PHP Doctor, which will alert you if there are issues with your setup in regard to file permissions and such. For now, the recommendations are limited to ensuring you are running the optimal version of Homebrew on M1 and related to ensuring that the helper files can be generated and symlinked correctly.
• Added support for custom environment variables (#183, consult the issue or FAQ for more information).
• Added a new "Welcome to PHP Monitor" onboarding screen (only displayed at first launch, #181).

Resolved Issues

• Fixed an issue with the text in the "could not check for updates" alert (#185).
• PHP Doctor now alerts you about #179 and #171 (both require manual user intervention).
• The app now checks if you ran valet install (#182).
• The app will no longer crash if it has difficulty parsing your Valet version number (#188).
• This build has been tested with macOS Ventura, and should work. I have not tested every feature extensively, so please let me know if you encounter any issues. (#176).
