Power Platform ToolBox v1.2.2

Power Platform ToolBox 1.2.2

Highlights

• Open external URLs using the active connection's browser profile for consistent session isolation
• Keep the app accessible on macOS with a system tray icon when the window is closed
• Sync zoom level between the main window and all open tool BrowserViews
• Allow tools to open mailto: links with explicit user consent and URL validation
• Improve protocol handler behavior for stable builds (single-instance lock and safer registration rules)
• Make marketplace filtering clearer with an active-filter indicator and one-click clear
• Improve tool update availability visibility with a clearer text-based indicator

Fixes

• Zoom: correct zoom-in accelerator keys and re-fit BrowserView bounds after zooming

Developer & Build

• toolboxAPI: remove deprecated loading screen API and associated handlers
• pptb-validate: validate pptb.config.json invocation with semver enforcement
• Types: rename PptbConfig → PPTBConfig and validatePptbConfig → validatePPTBConfig for consistent casing
• CI/CD: separate stable vs insider release channels (including channel-specific icons)
• Windows packaging: sign app binaries before packaging into installers
• Workflows: tighten merge automation with explicit permissions and concurrency

Install

• Windows: Power-Platform-ToolBox-1.2.2-Setup.exe
