Hello!
We're very pleased to announce the release candidate for DirectAdmin 1.51.0.
Version: RC3
Updated: Feb 6th, 12:43am MST
This contains numerous new features and bug fixes.
There are also some security fixes which we'll describe in more detail after the release is out.
Many of the changes are in preparation for the new skin, but if you're a skin designer yourself, you're more than welcome to use them in your skin (ajax, search, etc..)
The full list of changes are here:
https://www.directadmin.com/versions.php?version=1.510000
Main things we'll probably want to focus on while testing:
- direct_imap_backup is now enabled by default. Check to see if hard links created by dovecot cause any issues, else we may need to load up the extra_backup_options.
that's thing only thing that's unknown for me.. the rest should "work", else it's a bug.
----
As for new features, the list is rather huge, so won't list them all:
- dovecot_sni (exim_sni in there, but not quite done yet)
- suspend templates folder
- filemanager supports multiple file[] uploads (can ctrl-click select many files at once, for new skin, enhanced not changed)
New features for the new skin (but any skin can use them)
- skins.conf for per-skin settings (helps DA to control hardcoded things like tables)
- ability to search for commands, users, domain, databases, emails, all in the search bar, and it isn't a pig!
- filemanger recursive search.
- json out for filemanager, tickets, and a few other areas.
----
As usual, to install them, grab the pre-release binaries:
https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=408
The version will still show 1.50.1, so you'd use "./directadmin o" to see the compile date.
But I've also added the ability to get the pre-release binaries via the daupdate script by adding channel=beta to the GET line, so that a /client login isn't required, eg:
https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=29&in2=1234&channel=beta
(forgive me for the hackiness of the example )
If you find any issues, please post them here so we don't get duplicates.
Please avoid emailing us the issues (unless they're security related) as in release candidacy, they're lower priority fixes.
If we don't see the forum post after a few days, please notify us of the post.
I do expect there to be some issues, simply due to the huge number of internal changes in DA with regards to the new skin, and new features. (but entirely possible it's "perfect" on the first try )
Sorry, the new skin is not in this update, but is moving forward. Still work to do.
