Release notes¶

Each version uses the same sections (New, Fixes, Improvements, API when needed).

1.16.1¶

Update access tokens (more providers) — GitHub, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, and generic Git remotes can replace their stored token from Settings → Integrations (paste a new token; no provider rotation API).

New variable form — Adding a variable no longer prefills the form with the last one you saved.
MCP on self-hosted instances — OAuth issuer and MCP URLs follow instance.public_url instead of being hardcoded to panel.qaack.cloud.

New — POST /repository/{repoID} with action updateToken is accepted for github, azure, bitbucket, and generic (action.args is the token string). GitLab already supported updateToken and rotateToken.

Quick actions per site — Actions that do not use [[ .Alias.Name ]] or [[ .Alias.URI ]] run once for the environment and stay on the top level of the menu. Only alias-aware actions get a site submenu.
default_alias — Names the environment's own site next to its aliases, and is the value of [[ .Alias.Name ]] for actions run there (default when unset).

TTL when none is set — Enabling TTL defaults to the repository TTL, or a week when the repository has none. Save stays disabled if the duration is blank or 0.
Scheduled rebuild hour — The hour is sent only when it is a valid HH:MM. Turning the schedule on starts at 03:00.
Settings save feedback — The spinner and errors stay on the card you saved, instead of every settings card.
Environment TTL drawer — Saving no longer reloads the whole page.

Settings switches — TTL, scheduled rebuild, and the IP allowlist turn off with a switch and grey out while off. Scheduled rebuild's old disabled mode is that switch.
Mode dropdowns — Scheduled rebuild and qaackfile mode explain each option in the dropdown.
TTL durations — Repository settings, environment create/clone, and the environment TTL drawer share day / week / month presets, plus Custom for an exact number of minutes. The repository default is shown under the durations and selected when it matches one of them.

Member and maintainer search — When you add group members or repository maintainers, the panel suggests existing users on your instance (name or email).
Smarter quick-action downloads — Quick actions can use filename with the same templating as command, so downloads can be named after the site alias (one action works across environments).
Change TTL after create — Click the TTL label on an environment to extend time, shorten it, or turn off auto-deletion (“no expiry”).

Link quick actions — URLs from link output no longer get a stray leading character (e.g. thttps://…).
Quick action names — Keys with spaces or special characters work because names are URL-encoded in API calls.

Repository maintainers — Grant a group member admin on a single repo (settings, variables, registries) without making them group admin. Assign under Repository settings → Security & Access.
Transfer repositories — Owners/admins of both groups can move a repository. If some maintainers are not in the destination group, you choose to invite them or drop them.
Astro qaackfile template — Spawn Astro apps with qaack/node24-pm2 on port 4321 (npm run preview).
GitLab bot avatar — Qaack comments on merge requests show the Qaack logo.

Lighthouse on ephemeral envs — Skips is-crawlable and robots-txt audits that fail on short-lived URLs.
MCP in production — Static assets are bundled so the MCP server serves correctly from the core image.

Reusable delete — Deleting a reusable environment requires group Owner/Admin or a repository maintainer (previously any group member could).
Delete group — Confirmation requires typing the group name.
Lighthouse grading — Tests ignore robots exclusion so default qaack env behavior does not skew scores.

Rebuild reusable sources — Base environments that generate reusables have a button to trigger a build of the environment that created them.
Group roles — Clear split between admins/owners and members (who can add members, create/delete repos, etc.).
Groups — Create groups and rename existing ones.
Create repository — Improved form and qaackfile editor with templates (tests, quick actions, and other blocks pre-configured).
Service terminals in a drawer — Use the service console without opening a new tab.
Build logs from the env list — Open build logs from the dropdown on an environment row (drawer).
Launch secondary services — Non-default services that expose a port can be opened from the UI with a launch icon.
