# What changed in CivoCloudManager. Canonical URL: 1. [Home](https://civo-cloud-manager.app/) 3. Changelog Last updated October 18, 2026 By [Marcel R. G. Berger](https://marcelrgberger.com/) Every shipped release, newest first, with the detail a store release note is too short to carry. The Mac App Store gives a release about three sentences of "What's New". That is enough to tell you a feature exists, not enough to tell you what it changes about your day. This page keeps the longer version. Only versions that are live on the Mac App Store are listed here, so if a feature is not on this page, it has not shipped yet. ## Version 2.1.2, September 2026 Version 2.1.2 reached the Mac App Store on 15 September 2026 and is the current release. The app runs on macOS 15 Sequoia and later, and the whole interface now speaks 16 languages: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Turkish and Russian join the original eight, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese. Every install starts with 7 days of full access, free, so the complete dashboard, Kubernetes, databases, DNS and object storage can be tried before you decide. Purchase help is fully localized in every supported language, and at launch the dashboard waits for your purchase status instead of showing the purchase screen first. ## Also in 2.1.2: firewall timers, TLS and monitoring Timed firewall access keeps its schedule across app restarts, and every close is confirmed automatically. Kubernetes connections verify the server certificate before trusting it, for stronger TLS end to end. SSH key storage is more resilient when the Keychain is busy. A live monitor shows CPU, memory and quota across every Civo cloud region. The EULA, privacy policy and imprint open right inside the app, and a fresh green Cloud Shield icon sits in the Dock and the menu bar. ## Version 2.1.1, June 2026 The 2.1 line is built around live volume resize. Block storage volumes grow from the volume detail panel: pick the new size, confirm, and the volume expands online, no unmount and no downtime. Civo only allows a volume to grow, never to shrink, so the app enforces that too and will not offer a size below the current one. It is the answer to a database partition filling up at an awkward hour, or to a Kubernetes persistent volume claim that turned out to be sized for last quarter's traffic. ## Also in 2.1.1: DNS, firewall sync and quotas The DNS editor was reworked so records are created and edited inline per domain, covering A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV and NS, with a priority field that appears only for MX and SRV where it belongs. Firewall state in the menu bar syncs faster and refreshes on a sixty second cycle, so what the menu shows and what Civo enforces stay in step without a manual reload. Quota monitoring was refreshed across regions: gauges for instances, CPU, RAM, disk and databases turn amber past seventy percent and red past ninety, and a quota increase can be requested from the same panel. ## First release, April 2026 CivoCloudManager launched on 29 April 2026 as a native SwiftUI app for Civo Cloud, built on Apple frameworks only. It talks to the Civo REST API v2 directly from your Mac, with the API key held in the macOS Keychain and Touch ID gating anything that reveals a credential. There is no publisher server in the path and no telemetry: the app is a client for your Civo account and nothing else. The shape was set at launch and has not changed since, a free menu bar tier for firewall access and a full dashboard window for the rest of the account. ## Where the authoritative version lives The Mac App Store listing is the source of truth for the current version number and the official release notes, under "What's New" on the product page. This page adds context, it does not replace that listing. The full commit history is public at github.com/marcelrgberger/civo-cloud-manager, so if you want to know exactly what a release touched, down to the file, read it there. ## Changelog questions ### What is the current version of CivoCloudManager? The current version is 2.1.2, released on 15 September 2026 on the Mac App Store. It brings the interface to 16 languages, runs on macOS 15 Sequoia and later, starts every install with 7 days of full access for free, keeps timed firewall access across app restarts and verifies the server certificate of Kubernetes connections. ### Where do I find the release notes for CivoCloudManager? The official release notes are on the Mac App Store product page for CivoCloudManager, under "What's New". This changelog page carries the longer explanation of each release, and the full commit history is public at github.com/marcelrgberger/civo-cloud-manager. ### How often does CivoCloudManager get updated? There is no fixed release schedule. Updates ship when a feature is finished and has cleared App Store review, which means the gap between releases varies. The app first shipped in April 2026, version 2.1.1 followed in June 2026 and the current version 2.1.2 dates from September 2026. ### How do I update CivoCloudManager on my Mac? CivoCloudManager is distributed through the Mac App Store, so updates arrive the same way as any other App Store app. Open the App Store app and check the Updates tab, or turn on automatic updates in the App Store app settings and the update installs itself. Your API key stays in the Keychain across updates.
