What changed​

  • Create the first administrator through the normal Welcome to TestVibe signup; no default password or email relay is required.
  • Manage the installation in Settings → Administration, with a setup checklist, visible sections and one save action per section.
  • Use automatic application addresses, preserve host-managed settings and keep credentials hidden after saving.
  • Recover administrator access from the host console. Customer packages no longer run a separate admin website or container.
  • Improve shared test knowledge, Smart Test selection and Assistant guidance.
  • Improve recording labels, action order, device sizing and viewport proportions.
  • Make trace loading, AI run progress, project configuration and test navigation more reliable.

Self-hosted upgrade requirements​

  • Applies PostgreSQL migrations V0296–V0306 when upgrading from 0.4.13. Back up before upgrading.
  • Existing users are preserved. Use host recovery to appoint an instance administrator; workspace owners are not promoted automatically.
  • Keep the existing database, artifact storage, installation identity and encryption keys.

Self-hosted upgrade steps​

  • Use the 0.4.14 Compose bundle or Helm chart and apply migrations before starting the new application.
  • For Compose, replace the old Compose file, preserve .env and volumes, and use --remove-orphans to retire the admin container.
  • For appliances, replace only the OS disk and keep the existing data disk. Attach only one disk labeled testvibe-data.
  • Verify sign-in, Settings → Administration, a test run and artifact access after upgrading.
