Hi everyone!

We are happy to announce the release of DirectAdmin 1.642.

Release Change log can can be found here:

DirectAdmin 1.642

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

Highlight of this release is cPanel import feature in GUI and Evolution customizations upgrade allowing to upload custom icons and add custom CSS code directly in the GUI.

Note: With this release we are deprecating Evolution sub-theming support. With extended Evolution customizations support it is now possible to make all the changes that was previously available with sub-themes directly in the Customizations section without the themes support. If you have been using our traditional sub-theme after this upgrade sub-theme will no longer work, but the same UI changes can be quickly done by adding this CSS customization block in the Customize Evolution Skin -> CSS Styles -> Icons Grid section:

Code:
/* Styles to for 'traditional' sub-theme */
html.layout\:grid .app .app-header {background: var(--classic);color: white;}
html.layout\:grid .app .app-header .header-logo {background-image: var(--img-logo-dark); }
html.layout\:grid .app .app-header .userbar {margin-left: 1rem;}
html.layout\:grid .app .app-header .userbar>.userbar-button>.userbar-button-text {color: white;}
html.layout\:grid .app .app-header .userbar>.userbar-button>.ui-icon-counter .roundBadge {background: var(--classic-l90);color: var(--classic);}

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

Thanks!

wow! Support for running on 64-bit ARM machines (PRO PACK) new
that nice!
 
Before we use in "External CSS URL" an CCS file that apply to every users/resellers, but now with the css changes in DA, if we apply (copy/paste) the previously css in "Customize Evolution Skin > CSS Styles > Icons Grid (and save)" the CSS is not applied for all the users and resellers...

Any idea?
 
@jmmm, you can continue using external CSS this is not related to the new CSS in GUI feature. The CSS snippet in the initial code is only needed if you have used traditional sub-theme before the upgrade, and would like to re-create the same look after the upgrade.

There is a subtle change in how customizations inheritance work. If you configure some customization on admin level, your resellers will get the cusomizations only if they do not make any customizations of their own. If they customize something they no longer inherit customizations from the admin account.
 
I make zero customizations. This update changed many of the dark text links to light blue (non-bold) and it looks really bad on the light white background.
 
@beansbaxter , yes we have changed how links are shown because in previous releases they were not easily distinguishable from non link text elements. Hmm maybe it is a bit too light, will double check with Evo team :), we might make it slightly darker but it is very unlikely we will revert to black links.

I understand.

At the admin level, the links are light blue. At the user level, the links are the same blue color, but are bold.

If you have to keep them blue on white, formatting those links to bold should improve readability.

Thank you.

Checking it right now, thank you!
 
I believe it's been fixed in rev. 2900. Thank you for the report!
 
Getting this error when typing "ftp" (without quotes) in the search bar and then selecting "Create FTP Account" from the search results.

DA Create FTP Account Error.png
 
One of our servers got updated to 1.642 and the evolution skin stopped working on al users giving the following error:

oops!
Privileges needed to load the skin have not been granted for this account or unexpected issue has happened. Please contact your administrator.


I have downgraded the directadmin version and it's working correctly again. Please have a look into this bug.
 
@dmtinc thanks we will investigate this further. I was unable to quickly reproduce so it might depend on some custom configuration.

@dafang thanks, not sure if this is related with this release, but we will check this out anyway (y).

@ViAdCk depending on which DA version you were using before this, error might happen temporarily during the upgrade procedure and a couple of minutes after upgrade. If you are sure this was not transient issue please open a support ticket and we will investigate this further. This should not be a common issue.
