v2.4

• Added preliminary support for PHP 8.0
• Made a universal build for both Intel and Apple Silicon-based Macs
• Tried and tested on macOS Big Sur

You will need to upgrade to v2.5 in order to use PHP 8.0!

v2.3

• PHP Monitor now notifies you via a convenient notification that the version switch has been completed*
• Use localized strings (makes support for other languages possible)
• Tweaked some text throughout the app

(*) You can always disable notifications via System Preferences > Notifications or deny permission when PHP Monitor first tries to send you a notification if you do not like this.

v2.2

• Improved launch experience that notifies you more clearly about what is wrong with your environment if PHP Monitor cannot start
• The app should now no longer crash if your environment is not configured correctly

v2.1

This version only supports Valet 2.8 and PHP 7.4. You need those two installed at the very least.

• New icon for macOS Big Sur, checked compatibility with latest macOS beta
• Builds are now notarized and can be installed via Homebrew
• Builds now make use of the hardened runtime
• Fixed the text of an error that incorrectly told you to install Valet via Homebrew

v2.0

This version only supports Valet 2.8 and PHP 7.4. You need those two installed at the very least.

New in this version:

• The app now reports if your PHP installation is broken or has issues
• The app now reports if multiple PHP services are running via Homebrew
• The app won't crash if your PHP installation is broken or errors appear when you run php -v
• An option has been added to force load the latest PHP version (7.4) — perfect if you're stuck or the websites nginx is serving don't match your PHP version number
• The app now uses /bin/sh instead of /bin/bash, which on some machines will be much faster

---

Note: The binary below is not signed or notarized. On macOS Catalina, you need to right-click while holding ⌥ (option) and select Open. After this, macOS will ask you if you're sure you want to run the app. (Otherwise macOS will tell you that the app needs to be updated.) Future releases will be signed and notarized.

v1.8

This version only supports Valet 2.8 and PHP 7.4. You need those two installed at the very least.
