This release focuses on the front-end, client, and admin templates.

HMSPANEL v3.5.5 Release MARCH 15, 2010
MARCH 15, 2010
HMSPANEL v3.5.5 has been released.
This release focuses on some bug fixes found with the v3.5.1 and v3.5.2 versions.
BUG FIXES:
Activate CRT for SSL – resolved: Critical issue. It appeared as if SSL certificates were not being activated properly. HMSPANEL would activate, VirtualHost configuration seemed fine but Apache did not restart and/or start manually, causing Apache to crash.
Client Control Panel File Manager – resolved: When updating permissions on a file or directory, add user, group & others checkboxes. As checked, files will populate permissions.
MySQL Database User Creation – resolved: When using the add user feature under database management, users are not actually being created. The add database feature that automatically creates a user works fine, it’’s only the add individual user option that had problems.
Client Control Panel – Jump to Plan Feature – resolved: The Jump to plan feature was not working for secondary plans. For some reason secondary plans would show the domains from the first plan only.
Payment Methods – resolved: Ability to toggle on/off status for four default payment methods.
Server Duplication – resolved: When duplicating a server, copy of all variables including zone templates has been resolved. This was not working before. The only variables that should not be copied is the API URL, username & password.
Client Control Panel Database Management – resolved: Added column under active users to show MySQL database user permissions for a specific database the user is assigned to.
Shared Plan Email Limits – resolved: Combined POP user & account limit when editing a shared plan and setting the plan limit.
Delete Invoices Administration Area – resolved: When deleting an invoice from the administration area, invoice does not appear as removed until reloading the page.
License Key Variable – resolved: Ability to update license_key variable in configuration file from the administration area dash board under the version details.
Administration Area Users – resolved: Ability to set blocked IP threshold limit by hours. Ability to add IP addresses to whitelist and/or blacklist.
Switch Servers – resolved: Switch server feature on edit server page and others not passing variable.
HMSPANEL v3.5.4 Release MARCH 7, 2010
MARCH 7, 2010
HMSPANEL v3.5.4 has been released.
This release focuses on the addition of Tool Tips on the administration area and the creation of our new product “HMSPANEL CS”. This will leave two products: “HMSPANEL” & “HMSPANEL CS”. “HMSPANEL” (without the billing system) is expected to be released late April, 2010.
NEW PRODUCTS:
Our newest product “HMSPANEL” will come without a billing system and will be a control panel and server manager panel only. The billing system will be included in our “HMSPANEL CS” product only. This will give more flexibilty to those who already have a third party billing solution in place.
IMPROVEMENTS:
1) Tool Tips have been added to the administration area of HMSPANEL. Below you will find the pages were these have been added:
/admin/admins.php
/admin/extras.php?plan_id=1&server_type=1
/admin/settings.php
/admin/servers.php
/admin/server_stats.php?id=1
/admin/server_settings.php?action=edit&id=1
/admin/domains.php?plan_id=1
/admin/allocate_ips.php?plan_id=1
/admin/allocate_zones.php?plan_id=1
/admin/directory_paths.php?plan_id=1
2) a) /usr/local/apache/sites/client{num} will no longer be used. Instead, /usr/local/apache/sites/plan{num} will be used accordingly.
b) All of the default paths, etc., will reflect the “plan{num}” as well. This includes the FTP user that is created. There will not be anymore references to “client_{num}”, instead it is now “plan_{num}” so everything matches accordingly.
c) All of the master installers are completed with these changes.
d) All of the secondary installers are completed with these changes.
OTHER NEWS:
We have built a new repository for HMSPANEL CS. http://repocs.hmspanel.com/. The installers for HMSPANEL CS have now been updated to use this new repository location. The secondary server packages for v3.5.4 are now online and ready-to-go as well.
BUG FIXES:
1) The default installation of Webalizer & AWStats for the licensed domain had a bug were statistics were not working properly. This was caused because configuration files didn not have the licensed domain variable set and there was a problem. There were also problems with accessing statistics as well. We have resolved all the issues.
2) Updated the Squirrelmail package as the old one had some problems with certain files.
HMSPANEL v3.5.3 Release February 17, 2010

****************************
Important Notes

CHANGELOG v3.5.3 Stable
*************************************************************************
* New Features
*************************************************************************
1. Updated the plan editor/creator. This Ajax pop-up was a large window that would appear when adding or updating hosting plans that took most of the screen when displayed. This has now been converted to a full .css based template where fields have been organized accordingly so that they appear in their proper places when editing or adding plans.
2. New PHP installers have been created for all supported Linux distributions. Overall aesthetics have been updated. More specifically when the installer asks questions, they now show the answers to confirm the entered information and the closing portion of the installers will be more clear. Installers have been divided into more visible areas which will help with the overall HMSPANEL installation experience.
3. PHP installers were also updated for the secondary server installers to match the master server installers. They also now show the answers to confirm the entered information and the closing portion of the installers will be more ””clear””.
4. phpMyAdmin was also updated to the latest version on the secondary servers.
5. Fixed bug with the WordPress software installer:
Explanation: When WordPress was installed in root of /htdocs, the installer would reset permissions on /htdocs to root:root so the general FTP user could not write/overwrite/upload to /htdocs. We have fixed this issue. Additionally, the /htdocs/.htaccess or /htdocs/{dir}/.htaccess for WordPress (Permalinks), was not writable before and it is now so users can set that up properly.
*************************************************************************
* Improvements
************************************************************************
1. Updated installers to present the users with more intuitive and descriptive questions to help provide more accurate information when installing HMSPANEL.
2. Numerous Ajax pop-ups have been replaced with full view .css enriched pages where fields can be seen easily.
3. Ajax pop-ups that controlled E-Mail templates and front-end template code that appeared to be too big have been replaced with .css based template pages. These have been organized accordingly so fields are in the proper places when editing or adding.
4. The webmail page has been modified and cleaned up overall to blend in with the color scheme of the control panel.
5. Tool-Tips have been added across the control panel pages to help answer any questions for a given control panel function/tool.
6. Updated the phpMyAdmin version to the most stable release.
7. phpMyAdmin was also updated to the latest version on the secondary servers.
************************************************************************
* Bug Fixes
*************************************************************************
1. Added some critical start/finish tags to the front-end pages that were not present before. This was causing the title><?=getSetting(””page_title_main””);?></title> and <form action=””http://<?=getSetting(‘’site_name””);?>/loginorder.php”” method=””POST””> functions to not associate the correct website names or IP addresses.
2. Corrected the function links for ””Deleting Website”” and ””Test Site”” icons.
Like always, HMSPANEL will be available to perform upgrades at no charge for any customer that requires one.
