Nightly Changelog: 8.0.3-b20190711 Ignition Platform **14262: Added public HTTP address web server config** Added new Web Server settings for public facing HTTP addresses, “Public HTTP Port”, and “Public HTTPS Port”. These replace the similarly named properties under the redundancy settings but now Vision Clients and Designers will connect to the gateway on these public settings if auto-detect is disabled. These settings are useful for non-standard installations, especially those where the public facing address for the gateway differs from the address or ports the Gateway is actually running: notably reverse proxy setups as well as Docker Containers with advanced port mapping configurations. **13287: Add Copy Path action to inherited resources, also clean ups** Added a Copy Path menu item to all resource types and inherited resources. **14225 Added new gwcmd utility option to override name** Added ‘–name’ or ‘-o’ arg to the Gateway Command Utility to allow specifying a gateway name when restoring a backup.

Now the foreground color is properly rendering with the darker color. ---
