Release Candidate 0.9.31-rc1 - New Dashboard, PDO backend and more

[d00p]

Dear Froxlor Community,

we are proud to announce the release of our next major release candidate 0.9.31-rc1.
 
With this release the old PHP-MySQL extension was replaced with PDO-MySQL. Due to this move all queries have been touched and converted to prepared statements, preventing SQL-injections in the future. This also means, that there may be SQL errors we didn't catch.
 
In addition to that we have implemented an (optional) error-reporting which will email us any occuring SQL errors. You will see a preview of what exactly is being sent before anything leaves your system - no E.T.-phone-home! Also, this is currently only enabled for admins - but you can optionally allow your customers to send reports too (please watch out for any personal/private data!). In the final release of course, the error-reporting will be off by default for both, admins and customers.

This will be the first of at least two planned release-candidates due to the heavy changes all-over the code so please test and report any issues.

Changes in 0.9.31-rc1:

+ Completely redesigned dashboard in Sparkle-theme

+ #729: Usage of an activation code instead of password reset

+ #1051: Enable usage of php-slowlog for FPM users

+ #1287: Switch database implementation to PDO

+ #1297: Standard subdomains do not appear in a customers domain list


~ #1277: Traffic data - different values

~ #1300: Make FastCgiIpcDir configurable (important for php-fpm)

~ #1309: Nginx cron doesn't merge locations correctly

You can see all changes in our bugtracker at http://redmine.froxlor.org/versions/45

Download: 0.9.31-rc1

Note: As this is a release candidate, there will be no Debian packages. Gentoo users might use the testing ebuild (froxlor-9999).

Hey d00p, why it's APS, Backup and Autoresponder deprecated?

[d00p]

Because we decided it that way. More information about that will be available in the announcement of 0.9.31 final. So until 0.9.32 these features are still present.

[Sebastian-Sascha]

Is there a possibility to activate it again? Let's say via Plugin or API (Later at Version 1.00).

No decision about this yet. Please wait for more information later.
