Directadmin 1.40.0 - Release Candidate 1

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

DirectAdmin 1.40.0 release candidate 1 is now ready for testing.
There are many new features and fixes in this major release.

The full list of changes can be found here:
http://www.directadmin.com/versions.php?version=1.400000

Noteworthy items:

1) Suspension Reason (http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1264) to allow specifying why an account is suspended. Will automatically be set to "Bandwidth" if DA suspends the account. Allows a custom suspension page to be used (based on env variable value) letting the client know why they've been suspended.

2) Ability to add IP ranges, and use wildcard reverse IP lookups in skip-list for BFM. (http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1252)

3) Disk Usage breakdown (http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1258), to help track where disk usage is coming from.

4) Table optimizations (http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1265) and sorting bugfix on BFM table. The optimizations gained about 15% efficiency with use of inline functions.

5) Whois IP lookup (http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1267) on IPs on BFM IP info page, in addition to reverse IP lookup.

6) Elusive bug which set exim binary (http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1254) back to 755 from 4755.

7) Fix for spam to forwarders (http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1255) when "user spambox" option is used. Fix ensures the inbox exists before saving the spam.

8) Log bandwidth for dovecot (http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1005) using the da-popb4smtp binary (since it's already scanning the log). Includes 2 new columns on the Bandwidth Breakdown page.

9) Proper/standard rotation of the apache tar.gz backup logs (http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1270).

Ensure you see a compile date (http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=318) of November 15th or newer to have these new features.

hi DirectAdmin Support,

have you an estimated date for the new version? i'll waiting it for the all_backups_post.sh feature for a big migration of my customer on another directadmin platform

[DirectAdmin Support]

http://www.directadmin.com/versions.php?version=1.400000
Nov 20th is the current estimate.
Note, we've not noticed any issues (using it on all our test boxes).
If you need a feature now, grab the pre-release binaries (http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=408), as they're available now.

I wish MRTG graphs can be added also

[DirectAdmin Support]

Hello,

Unfortunately, our CentOS 4, 64-bit box died prior to us releasing 1.40.0 (MB issue)
As well, our standby box seems to be a dud, and the parts are not swap-able, so we'll have to get a new box for that OS.

To prevent confusion with the release of 1.40.0 for anyone who has CentOS 4 64-bit, we've opted to hold off fro making the release until we can get that box up and running again.

Note, that there were no major code changes from the pre-release binaries to the 1.40.0 version, so if you need any of the new features, they're still available in pre-release form, as they've always been. (including the CentOS 4 64-bit binary set, created before the box died)

I wish MRTG graphs can be added also
MRTG is extremely outdated.

Dear Directadmin Team.
In Cpanel, when finnished installing, the program running script to disable some services not necessary.
I think you should also do same thing.
Thanks.

I hope yes, at least one of the two option (call user modify or call a single new script).

Thanks

hi

If UPS does not have any updates from the Admin Panel
I was doing, but UPS had to manually update
The following error


Update not necessary

Details

You already have the most recent version of the program

[DirectAdmin Support]

1.39.3 is still the most current version.
1.40.0 has not yet been released.
The "Release Candidate" state means the 1.40.0 version is available for testing, but only if downloaded manually with the pre-release binaries (http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=408).
