v1.5.9 (2026-03-09)​

Fixed​

  • Self-update "text file busy" error: Fixed the quikdb update command failing with "text file busy" on Linux and "permission denied" on macOS when replacing the running binary. The update now uses atomic rename instead of file copy, which works even while the CLI is executing. Users no longer need workarounds to update.

v1.5.8 (2026-02-22)​

Added​

  • quikdb device update-tier command: Change your node's tier after registration

  • Resource budgeting per tier: Your node now tracks CPU, RAM, and storage usage against your tier's limits

  • Deployments survive restarts: Your running deployments are remembered across CLI restarts

  • Linux service resource limits: The auto-start service now enforces your tier's CPU and memory limits at the OS level

Changed​

  • New tier system: Replaced BASIC/PREMIUM/ENTERPRISE with HOBBY/BUILDER/STARTUP/TEAM to match subscription plans

  • Node dashboard serves HTTP: The local dashboard at http://localhost:4222 no longer requires HTTPS

Fixed​

  • Tier update now syncs with server: Previously, local config could update even when the server rejected the change

  • Tunnel stability: Requesting a new tunnel no longer breaks an existing working tunnel
