DirectAdmin 1.650 RC

[fln]

Hi everyone!

We are happy to announce the release of DirectAdmin 1.650 RC.

Key new feature is CustomBuild reporting system package updates. There are also a bunch of fixes and improvements.

Full release change log can be found here:

DirectAdmin 1.650​

The update should be automatically available for all installations subscribed to the beta release channel.

We appreciate all the feedback on forums and issues reported in the ticketing system.

Thanks!

Is "system package updates" = yum check-update (or yum -y update) ?

 

[apogee]

Thanks, I noticed that since some versions the title (login page) is always set to "Evolution | DirectAdmin", no matter what the .po file contains, unfortunately the mail summary bug is still not fixed

 

[Richard G]

Can the bugs I reported be implemented too?

 

[fln]

@ccto yes. Doing da build update_system is the same as apt-get -y upgrade or yum -y update. So for example on Debian systems it will not try upgrading the kernel (which would require apt-get -y dist-upgrade).

@apogee, main login app page have no translatable text, but if you navigate to some login app sub-page (for example lost password form) the title would use translations from the dictionary. As for mail summary bug, would be great if you would open a ticket with it would be easier to track. I think it just got lost.

@Richard G we are happy to fix any reported issue, but would be great to open them as support tickets so it would be easier to track them. I remember some of your issues reported in 1.649 were already fixed, maybe there were more which just slipped through .

@fln: Thats wrong, it has, (e.g. username and so on...) also it had it in the past, please bring it back.

I've already opened a ticket but never got a response, T #49054 (closed without further response)

 

[fln]

Oh I thought you are referring to the title of the login page. All the other content is translatable. For example having /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/evolution/lang/custom/en.po:

msgid ""
msgstr ""
""

msgctxt "login-page"
msgid "Username"
msgstr "uname ?"

msgid "Username"
msgstr "Username"

Gives me login page looking like (in English):



Thanks for reference to ticket 49054 (email summary) it is marked as fixed and closed, will double check.

Yes, I mean the title tag (<title>).

The background is simple, I want to avoid that it is known what software is in use when suddenly vulnerabilities appear and they are not (yet) fixed, we had this problem 19 years ago with cpanel.

 

[fln]

Not sure I follow, the title bar is translatable as well, for example having:

msgctxt "login-page"
msgid "Lost password"
msgstr "?"

And clicking Forgot password? link in the login screen would show you the title <title>server.example.com | ?</title>.



What looks a bit a bit out of place is that server hostname is not being shown on the main login page title. But this has nothing to do with translations. We will make sure to update it so that hostname is always there until the final release.

Regarding email summary page, the error is indeed fixed - clicking on the domain navigates to the email tracking page. However for the domain filter to be applied Search button needs to be clicked. We will take care to remove this surplus click step and apply domain filter immediately. Thanks!

 

[apogee]

So what now? Sorry I don't quite understand, I speak 4 languages fluently but English is not one of them (so forgive my language/tongue) and any misunderstandings. I'm just concerned about the login page. I want the servername in the title or some other arbitrary string, but NOT "directadmin" for the reasons mentioned. You can email me directly or call me or send me your phone number to discuss this in more detail.

We have disabled "forgot password" so I can't check it (it doesn't apply either).

Thanks for the fix, this is absolutely illogical, especially for our supporters. On our 2 development servers it still doesn't work.

but would be great to open them as support tickets

In only have lifetime licenses. 1 might have support. Indeed in previous versions some were fixed. But I thought it should be posted on the forums first to see if it are indeed bugs, so others could confirm.
But had discovered new ones.

[Bug] Double e-mail address in DA when system_user_to_virtual_passwd is used (and removed)

Oke we have a package with users having 5 mail addresses. A little while ago, I tried to use the "system_user_to_virtual_passwd" option, so they could use their full mail address to login, just as with the other mail addresses. For some reason I was troubled maybe then the ones using just the...

Reporting bugs in the ticketing system is welcome even for life-time licenses!

The tricky part is that the line is usually blurry between a bug, or a feature request, or intended change of functionality, or unexpected functionality that was there all the time. And sometimes fixing a "bug" by changing how DA does one thing or another makes some users happy while others treat this as a new "bug" since DA is doing something differently than it used to do .

We do our best separating them and taking action accordingly.

Oke but I don't want to waste your time in the ticket system. And the first one you had a look at, and was no bug but a functionality you build in to keep track.

I presume you will have a look at the second one or would you rather I still report it in the ticket system?
