🌟 xCloud Pulse — Native macOS Menu Bar Companion App

Introducing xCloud Pulse, a native macOS menu bar companion app for xCloud, built on the upcoming xCloud Public API.

xCloud Pulse works like a quick-access xCloud dashboard that lives directly in your Mac menu bar, helping you check important site and server information without opening the browser every time.

With xCloud Pulse, you can:

• See every site and server at a glance, with live status the moment the app opens.
• Check site status, PHP version, SSL, and backup state for any site in one place.
• Catch critical issues, recent activity, warnings, and system logs as they happen.
• Run quick actions such as purge cache, trigger backup, copy a server IP, or open the dashboard, each in a single click.
• Search across every site, server, and action with a fast command palette, the way Spotlight works on your Mac.
• Native macOS app, light on your machine and built on the xCloud Public API.

The goal is simple: make everyday xCloud tasks faster, whether you need to check a site, purge cache, review an issue, or trigger a backup without leaving your workflow.

xCloud Pulse is currently being fine-tuned, with UI improvements and polishing still in progress.

✨ Improvements & Bug Fixes

• Added a cleaner and more helpful UI for pending server setup, making it easier for new users to complete pending server creation.
• Improved Git branch search in the Deploy via Git site creation flow, allowing users to search and find more branches more reliably.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed several billing issues related to self-managed servers.
• Fixed an issue where the “Reading databases with users” event could fail on servers that had no databases.

• Auto-provision servers through the API with no dashboard required.
• Deploy fully configured sites in a single API call.
• Manage SSH and sudo users programmatically, adding or removing access on demand.
• Build CI/CD pipelines, client portals, SaaS tools, and internal dashboards on top of xCloud.

🚀 New Feature

🌟 Interactive Browser SSH Terminal — Open Server & Site Terminal From xCloud Dashboard

Open server, sudo user, or site user terminal sessions directly from the xCloud dashboard, no local SSH client required. Terminal access is permission-controlled and uses secure, single-use session tickets, so server credentials are not exposed to the browser.

🌟 Introducing Server Rebuild on xCloud – One Click to a Fresh Server, Same IP & Billing

Reset your server to a day-one clean state without decommissioning, re-provisioning, or starting a new billing cycle. One click resets the stack while your IP, DNS records, firewall rules, and invoice stay exactly where they are.

• Switch your web stack: Choose between NGINX, OpenLiteSpeed, Docker + Nginx, or any of our Agentic stacks (OpenClaw, Paperclip, Hermes) — swap your entire web environment in a single action.
• Change your database: Move to MySQL 8.4, MariaDB 11, depending on what your new stack needs.
• Keep the same public IP: DNS records, firewall rules, and monitoring URLs stay intact, so there’s nothing to reconfigure on the network side.
• Keep the same billing cycle: No new server, no new invoice, no prorated charges, your existing subscription continues uninterrupted.
• Same security hardening, fresh disk: SSL, SSH, and 7G-firewall come back automatically on the rebuilt server, so you start clean without losing your baseline protection.

⚡ Improvements

• Bills Payment page now displays detailed invoices above the billing history for faster reference.
• Mailbox now correctly shows whether SMTP is available for the user’s plan.

🌟 Introduced Site Rules For OLS Server

Manage HTTP Headers & Redirects for WordPress Sites. Create and manage HTTP headers and redirect rules for WordPress sites running OLS directly from the xCloud dashboard.

• Add Custom Headers: Define custom HTTP response headers (security headers, caching headers, CORS, etc.) for your WordPress site directly from the dashboard. Strengthen site security, control browser caching, and manage cross-origin policies without manually editing nginx configuration files.

• Redirects: Set up 301/302 redirects for URLs, paths, or patterns from a clean, intuitive interface. Manage post-migration URL changes, enforce trailing slashes, or route legacy paths to new destinations — all without writing a single rewrite rule by hand.

⚡ Improvements

✅ Patchstack now tracks each site individually for more reliable scans, updates, and SSO.
