Phive v1.1.1 is now available.
This update improves local development environment stability with automatic port conflict resolution and smarter runtime management.
What’s new in v1.1.1:
• Automatic Port Conflict Resolution
If the default ports are already occupied by another process, Phive now automatically detects the conflict, scans for the next available port, and continues execution without interruption.
• Dynamic Runtime Routing
The application interface and logs now update automatically to reflect the active runtime ports being used by the environment.
• Improved Local Development Reliability
This significantly reduces startup failures caused by local server conflicts during development workflows involving multiple services, containers, proxies, or WebSocket-based applications.
Default monitored ports:
- HTTP Environment:
8000 - WebSocket Channel:
9001
Example:
If port 8000 is already in use, Phive automatically reroutes execution to the next available operational port instead of terminating the process.
This release also introduces a new contribution workflow and improved engineering structure for future development scalability.
