What's new

Every new feature, improvement and fix shipped on Bot-Hosting, newest first.

  1. Steadier console and checkout

    • Fixed

      Commands typed in the console are now confirmed by the server instead of occasionally being dropped without a word.

    • Fixed

      First-time buyers with no billing address on file could get stuck at checkout. Checkout now asks for it.

    • Improved

      HTTPS apps stay reachable under heavy traffic spikes on the shared edge.

  2. Studio and the console shell

    • New

      Studio: an AI coding agent that works directly on your deployment, with Plan, Build and Auto modes and a diff of every change.

    • New

      Shell in the console: switch from App to Shell to run commands inside your deployment, even while the app is stopped.

    • Improved

      Git works out of the box in the shell.

    • New

      The shell is also available through the API and the MCP server.

  3. Clearer billing

    • Improved

      Cancelling a plan now explains exactly what happens to your deployments and when.

    • New

      Coins bought on the old platform are converted to credits automatically.

  4. Bot-Hosting CLI

    • New

      Deploy from VS Code, Cursor or any editor with bh deploy. Only changed files are uploaded, and files your bot writes on the server are never touched.

  5. AI assistant in the dashboard

    • New

      An assistant that reads your logs, explains crashes and can act on your deployments, asking before anything that cannot be undone.

    • New

      When your app crashes, the assistant offers to look into it.

  6. Clearer errors on your app URLs

    • New

      Your app URL shows an explanatory 404 or 502 page instead of a blank screen, including which port your app should listen on.

    • Fixed

      Custom domain verification checks public DNS, so a record you just added is picked up sooner.

  7. OAuth apps and new runtimes

    • New

      Sign in with Bot-Hosting: create OAuth apps that act on behalf of your users.

    • New

      New runtimes: Lavalink, PHP bots, PHP websites and static sites.

    OAuth docs
  8. MCP server

    • New

      Connect Bot-Hosting to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI clients to manage your deployments in plain language.

    • Improved

      More API routes, and the API tab is now the Dev tab.

    • Improved

      Environment variables can be edited in place.

    Set up MCP
  9. Git auto-pull

    • New

      Deployments linked to GitHub can pull the latest commit automatically on every restart.

    • New

  14. Documentation

    • New

  15. Packages manager

    • New

      A Packages tab to add and remove dependencies without touching the terminal.

    • Improved

      More Node.js, Python and Java versions to choose from.

  16. Databases as deployments

    • New

      MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Redis run like any other deployment, with a built-in data manager.

    • New

      A Domains tab to serve your app over HTTPS on a bot-hosting address or your own domain.
