⚡️ What's New in KFtray 8.0.0

The team has been hard at work and we've rolled out some exciting updates:

  • Git Time Polling Synchronization: Your projects will remain up-to-date effortlessly! The new polling feature allows you to adjust how frequently KFtray checks your repositories for changes, ensuring your kftray environment aligns with the latest commits in the git.

  • Enhanced Git Synchronization Slider: Fine-tune your Git sync frequency with the integration of a convenient slider. You're now in full control of the polling rate, perfect for conserving system resources or getting real-time updates depending on your needs.

  • Sync History Timestamps: With our improved tooltips, you'll have a clear and precise log of your synchronization timeline. Monitor when the last sync took place and plan for the next one with ease.

  • Custom Local Address Configuration: Say goodbye to the restrictions of localhost. Customize your development environment by setting up a local IP address that fits your project structure or network configuration.
  • Quick-access URL Icon: Navigate to your forwarded local URL in an instant. Our new icon in KFtray provides immediate access to your application in your default browser with just a click.

🚀 Ongoing Enhancements
