The plain dev command now separates stdout and stderr output with distinct visual indicators - stderr uses a red pipe (┃) while stdout uses a dimmed pipe (|) to make error messages more visible (ea78a6d)
The FORCE_COLOR environment variable is now automatically set in the development server and services to ensure consistent color output across all processes (2a63270)
Fixed the database wait command call in the dev server startup to use the updated plain db wait command instead of the deprecated plain models db-wait (b293750)
Fixed the pre-commit database connection check to use the updated plain migrations list command instead of the deprecated plain models show-migrations (b293750)
The plain dev command now automatically generates and persists .plain/AGENTS.md during startup, ensuring AI coding assistants have up-to-date package documentation (786b7a0)
CLI command descriptions have been updated to be more concise and consistent across all plain dev subcommands (fdb9e80)
The plain dev command is now marked as a "common command" in the CLI for better discoverability (73d3a48)
The plain preflight check command has been simplified back to plain preflight throughout the development workflow, including pre-commit hooks and the dev server startup (40c2c45)
The plain contrib command now uses @without_runtime_setup decorator to avoid loading the full Plain runtime, improving performance and reliability (8b8cc2d)
Removed the standalone plain-contrib command-line script as it is no longer needed with the runtime setup improvements (8b8cc2d)
The development server now uses watchfiles for file watching and auto-reloading instead of gunicorn's built-in reloader, providing more reliable and efficient file change detection (92e95c5032)
Removed manual .env file watching configuration from plain dev as this is now handled automatically by the server's reloader (92e95c5032)
The plain dev command now sets both PLAIN_LOG_LEVEL and PLAIN_FRAMEWORK_LOG_LEVEL environment variables when a log level is specified, replacing the previous APP_LOG_LEVEL setting (4c5f216)
Dev services are no longer automatically started when running in CI environments unless explicitly enabled with PLAIN_DEV_SERVICES_AUTO=true (b8452bae74)
The plain dev logs command now skips automatic service startup to avoid conflicts (ff65428bca)
Added automatic background startup of dev services when running plain dev commands. Services defined in pyproject.toml will now start automatically (0a5ffc6de5).
Added plain dev logs command to view output from recent plain dev runs. Supports options like --follow, --pid, --path, and --services to manage and view different log outputs (0a5ffc6de5).
Added --start and --stop flags to both plain dev and plain dev services commands for running processes in the background. Use plain dev --start to launch the dev server in background mode and plain dev --stop to terminate it (0a5ffc6de5).
Improved process management with better PID tracking and graceful shutdown handling for both dev server and services (0a5ffc6de5).
Improved CLI error handling by using click.UsageError instead of manual error printing and sys.exit() (88f06c5184).
Removed psycopg[binary] dependency from plain-dev as database drivers should be installed separately based on project needs (63224001c9).
Fixed an error when running plain dev precommit (or the plain precommit helper) that passed an extra default argument to plain preflight --database. The flag now correctly aligns with the current plain preflight CLI (db65930).
plain dev now writes a PID file and will refuse to start if it detects that another plain dev instance is already running in the same project (75b7a50).
When no --port is provided, plain dev now checks if port 8443 is available and, if not, automatically selects the next free port. Supplying --port will error if that port is already in use (3f5141f).
The development request-log UI has been removed for now, along with its related endpoints and templates (8ac6f71).
plain contrib --all skips any installed plainx-* packages instead of erroring when it can’t locate their repository (3a26aee).
