I would like to apologize you all, because it was a decision of mine not to release a "me-too" skin a year ago. And I really agree that it affected reputation of DA. We had it finished, but it was nothing different from enhanced, just a fresh look, but no major changes and re-coding. I wanted to have it fully re-coded to Vue.js, use vue-router, VueX, to rewrite the language/translation system completely (to use gettext and single .po file for every language), have no hardcoded tables from DA side (like |TABLE|) and so on... Now we have a private alpha (for anyone who asks for it in ticketing), and public alpha should be ready soon. There is a lot of new code every day... We just wouldn't like to publicly release it for download right now (today, for example), because then we'd get loads of requests about things that still need to be re-coded. I know it might feel as if nothing is done, but this is really not true. We get a lot of new code lines every day. I'm sorry, but I am sure the end result will be a new and modern frontend for DirectAdmin.

Now we have a private alpha (for anyone who asks for it in ticketing), and public alpha should be ready soon.
Alpha is ready for several months, updated alpha is going to be ready very soon, and we will provide update to tickets for anyone who received first alpha version. The new alpha version will have:
* No hardcoded tables at all
* New translation system (.po files, one per language)
* All pages in vue-routes and migrated to vue
* All data fetched from backend using JSON
So, finally, we could accept bug reports for functionality We have 10 admin pages to migrate to vue, and they also need backend changes (check out the huge list of backend rewrite here: https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=2017). It will be very easy for plugin developers and 3rd party products to take any information from DA because of these changes too.
