Webby - AI-Powered No-Code Website Builder SaaS Platform v1.2.34

Webby - AI-Powered No-Code Website Builder SaaS Platform Changelog

Changelog v1.2.34

• Updated builders: this version requires the builder from the same release, so update the builder together with Webby
• Updated Z.ai to use its pay-as-you-go API: every saved Z.ai provider moves to the pay-as-you-go endpoint, so add pay-as-you-go balance on your Z.ai account before updating; GLM Coding Plan subscriptions no longer work in Webby
• Added an Effort setting for each project (Auto, Low, Medium, High) in the editor and on the Create page; higher effort can use more credits, and models without an effort control show it disabled
• Added short AI-generated names for new projects, used in page titles, theme names and the project list instead of the prompt
• Added an AI agent name and avatar in Admin > Settings > General, shown on the AI's messages in the editor chat
• Added a Custom code setting in Admin > Settings > General for code placed before and after on the platform's own pages (not the admin panel); only Super Admins can see or change it
• Added Visit, Copy link and Unpublish to the publish window of a live site
• Added a grouped admin sidebar (People, Billing, AI, Site, Support and System) that collapses to an icon rail, with Profile and Billing in the user menu
• Updated Legal Pages to Custom Pages and the Onboarding admin area to Guided Tours; old links redirect to the new pages
• Updated the AI model lists and default models for every provider to the current generation, and moved saved settings off retired models
• Updated credits so stopped and failed builds use the credits they spent; builds that fail because of the platform stay free
• Updated shared projects so the person who sends a message pays for it with their own plan, credits, Web Agent pages and AI images
• Updated how credits count cached input so they follow each provider's real price (Claude, Z.ai, OpenAI, Grok, DeepSeek, Ollama and OpenRouter)
• Updated the code editor: saving a file while the AI is building is refused with a clear message, and your unsaved text stays in the editor
• Improved Claude builds so the AI reuses cached instructions and conversation history between messages, which lowers the AI provider cost of each message
• Improved the editor on website projects: previews now build in the background, so Rebuild, undo, redo, restore, style edits and design changes return right away with a small Updating preview indicator, and a message sent meanwhile no longer waits for the preview
• Improved the Stop button: it restores the site to how it was before the message, Redo brings the partial changes back, and the project stays locked until the stopped build has fully finished
• Improved credit limits: the AI checks the remaining credits before each request, keeps its last answer within what is left, finishes the step it already paid for, and the chat shows a clear credit limit notice
• Improved build reliability: when the AI sends an invalid request it is asked to resend it instead of the build failing, and a build that still fails this way is not charged (within the daily free-fix limit) and offers a free fix
• Improved preview updates so a failed one keeps the last working preview, and builds the builder lost track of are marked as interrupted instead of staying stuck
• Improved long conversations: the summary of earlier messages is kept when you send new ones
• Improved security: the editor preview runs in a sandbox from signed links, apps opened by other signed-in users run sandboxed, and published sites no longer receive the dashboard login, so code in a generated site cannot act as the person viewing it; owners open private sites, including those on custom domains, with Visit
• Improved security of the project token in published sites: it can only reach the files the site itself uploaded, and is hidden from view-only collaborators
• Improved sites on a separate publishing domain: the bare domain, www and reserved names now send visitors to the app instead of showing the platform there
• Improved error messages when the AI provider account is out of quota or its plan has expired, instead of calling it a temporary rate limit
• Improved project code exports: they include a .gitignore and show a readable message when they fail
• Improved consistency across admin and dashboard pages: confirmations before deleting, inline field errors, loading states, keyboard access, right-to-left layouts and translated labels
• Fixed two builds, or a build and an undo, running on the same project at once
• Fixed the editor losing your message when a build could not start; it now explains why and keeps your text
• Fixed many project editor issues found in testing, including silent build failures, edits reported as sent when they failed and history disappearing mid-session
• Fixed a manual save made after Undo being discarded by Redo
• Fixed the AI being nudged to start building when it only answered a question on a site that was already built
• Fixed long builds showing a timeout error on servers set up with the auto-setup script; existing servers can add the new nginx block from the docs
• Fixed SSL for subdomain-style custom domains (shop.example.com): they need only their own A record and get a certificate for that name; re-run the custom-domain setup step of autosetup.sh on servers set up before this update
• Fixed custom domains entered with www (www.example.com) passing verification without the bare domain record the certificate needs
• Fixed published links not following the app URL's scheme and port, and publishing validation messages showing untranslated
• Fixed WordPress theme downloads missing their theme.json font and color settings
• Fixed builds failing to start on databases that return numbers as text
• Fixed errors when saving text longer than 191 characters on MySQL, and the File Manager storage total showing wrongly on MySQL
• Fixed referral commission not being taken back when an admin fully refunds a payment
• Fixed inactive users being able to sign in; their open sessions now end
• Fixed the admin created by autosetup.sh only being able to open the admin Overview; new installs now give it the Super Admin role
• Fixed the scheduler failing on servers that disable PHP's pcntl functions
• Fixed the credits indicator breaking the editor toolbar after a session expired
• Fixed the admin Overview pie chart legends overflowing their cards
• Fixed notifications not showing on the File Manager and Project Settings pages
• Updated the documentation, including that PayPal cannot bill lifetime plans
• Updated two bundled server libraries to clear their security advisories
