Release: Froxlor 0.9.12

[d00p]

Hello Froxies,

 

today we're releasing Froxlor 0.9.12 which comes with a lot of bugfixes and improvements (thanks to the community) such as 'FCGID Vhost Container for the Panel itself' and some more e-mail notification templates for customization.

 

These changes found their way in 0.9.12:

 * Allow files to be set as 40x & 500 error-handler (bug #267)
 * Added possibility to use FCGID also for the Froxlor-panel itself (bug #305)
 * Improved/Reviewed autoresponder-source (bug #308)
 * Fixed various file-permission-commands in the configuration-area (bug #309, #310)
 * Added pure-ftpd to Gentoo, fixed configuration for debian-based systems (bug #311)
 * Added possibility to use Perl/CGI for Apache+SuExec users (bug #319)
 * Fixed editing of mysql-databases in customer-panel (bug #325)
 * Added possibility to add a subdomain of another domain as "full"-domain in admin-interface (bug #329)
 * Fixed issues when saving settings with attribute "dir" (bug #331)
 * Set default path for FTP-accounts to customerroot (bug #338)
 * Fixed usage of chattr under FreeBSD, it is named chflgs there (bug #339)
 * Added possibility to customize the description of a directory-protection via htpasswd (bug #345)
 * Added e-mail notification template for 'forgot password' (bug #354)
 * Remove fcgi-starter if domain has been deleted (bug #367)
 * Added '{COMPANY}' template variable for all e-mail templates (bug #376)

Debian packages are in process of being built and will be available later today as usual.

A little heads up for users on Debian Squeeze (Lenny users can safely ignore this): the upcoming Package (read: 0.9.13) will contain major changes, in particular:

 * move most of the package content to /usr/share
 * implement debconf for storing options which are needed on upgrading (for example, user:group when using FCGI, currently, we just rely on www-data being used, which is not optimal.)
 * Config Templates for squeeze (finally!)

 

this changes will prepare the package for upstream inclusion see, this ITP

however, please note that this may or may not happen in squeeze+1 depending on the state of 1.0 when squeeze is released, you might just end up seeing 1.0 there

 

This will *not* hit lenny as the upgrading between versions on lenny should be painless and we don't want to introduce major changes, we understand that not pushing the debconf change to lenny might be suboptimal for people that want to use FCGID for the froxlor vhost and apologize for the inconvenience

 

Thank you,

your Froxlor Team
