DirectAdmin 1.52.0 - Release Candidate

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

We're pleased to announce the release candidate of DirectAdmin 1.52.0:
Version: 1.52.0 RC1

This release is very large, many new features and bug fixes.

Full list of changes is here:
https://directadmin.com/versions.php?version=1.520000

Some significant changes:

New Features

• JSON everywhere: Almost done converting all CMD_ functions to JSON for the new skin.
• http2 enabled by default, where applicable.
• mail_sni beta for per-domain SNI SSL with exim and dovecot (replaces dovecot_sni, exim_sni)
• ETags headers for static files
• private_html -> public_html symlink, by default for SSL
• Ability to rename INBOX.spam
• https for redirect type domain pointers
• named-checkzone now more strict using -k fail
• Support for MySQL 5.7 column changes (not yet in CustomBuild)

Bug Fixes

• LetsEncrypt: clear deleted subdomains before renewal
• Disable user php-fpm before User deletion
• FileManager edit file, save to temp first to prevent 0 byte file on full disk

Plus many ... many many more.

As the JSON changes have touched almost every area of code, testing will be critical (fairly tested already during the new skin implementation)

If you'd like try it out, please grab the pre-release binaries:

Thanks!

private_html -> public_html symlink, by default for SSL

If so as we for some domains use both and put the ssl content in private_html. as it should?

Is then after updating this private_html content gone?
