Hello,
We're very pleased to announce BETA testing for DirectAdmin 1.62.0.
Version: 1.62.0-BETA-1
Compile Date: April 20, 2021
The full list of changes are listed here:
https://directadmin.com/versions.php?version=1.620000
Major new features
There are many other new features and bug-fixes, I'll say "too many to list", so please check the versions page, above, for more information on all changes.
Note: With the new "Go" wrapper system, several internal code rewrites have taken place.
One being how redirects are sent to a browser, which are now relative (/) , not absolute (https://host:2222/), and changes to the host/referer checks now store the port in the session file itself, for a simpler direct match. As a result, you will end up being logged out after the update/restart succeeds, this will be normal. Just login again to have the new session set the new host format, and you can continue as normal.
More info: https://directadmin.com/features.php?id=2967
As this is a massive release, and I'd say overdue, we're first releasing it as BETA to catch any possible bugs.
Many of these change/features have been in the pre-release binaries for quite some time now (bugs less likely), but other have not (
Once we're done with any first-wave of bugs, we'll release it as RC1, and finally with the full 1.62.0 release, likely near the end of May.
Due to the longer-than-usual period since the last release, we will be pushing for more regular releases.
I'll be pushing fixes/updates to the binaries as they come available, and ill update the BETA-1 and Compile Date flag.
If they're changed, please update again.
Testing
To give this release a try, use the pre-release guide:
https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=408
We're most interested in automated SSL certificate requests and renewals, cgroup enforcement, and any other noted issues with the Go wrapper changes.
Downgrade
If, after some testing, you decide you would like to revert to the production binaries, you can use the manual update guide to grab them:
Note, your session host value will be in the new format, so you'll get logged out when switching between old and new.
Reports
Should you have any issues, please first check the New Feature Testing forum so we don't get flooded with duplicate.
Post there to a new unrelated thread, if the issue has not yet been reported.
Avoid email/tickets for now, unless it's something urgent or has some security implication.
We previously recommended reporting issues to the announcement thread, but with this many changes, that would likely get tricky to keep track of
