What’s New

Fantastic new additions and tons of fixes for you this week!
Please welcome the full embracement of Homebrew and Scoop in Wappler! The best open source and tools installers available!
Now after an initial Wappler installation - all the required tools like Node, Git, Docker etc will be installed fully automatic on demand! With your permission of course.
So just run System Check to try it all out!

Furthermore we have greatly extended the Database Manager with Multi Schema support for Postgres and also working with Database Views on all Databases!

Read below for more detailed info

Full support for Homebrew and Open Source command line tools

• No longer do you need to install additional command line programs any longer! Wappler does it automatically for you!
