News from cPanel

Hey guys, the cPanel team is always busy with creating new features- stay up to date with Releases and NEWS . Go check this out! Interesting read…

Added ALIAS DNS record support In cPanel & WHM version 122, we added experimental support for the ALIAS DNS record to WHM’s DNS Zone Manager interface (WHM » Home » DNS Functions » DNS Zone Manager) and cPanel’s Zone Editor interface (cPanel » Home » Domains » Zone Editor). This record only works on systems that run PowerDNS. Warning: * We strongly recommend that you do not use this function. Using the ALIAS DNS record may result in unexpected behavior, including website downtime, inconsistency in the handling of the record, and security vulnerabilities. * This record is only available if you enable access to it and use PowerDNS. For more information about ALIAS DNS records, read our The ALIAS DNS Record documentation. Experimental ARC support in Exim In cPanel & WHM version 122, we added experimental support for in Exim. For more information, read our Exim Configuration Manager Basic Editor documentation. Experimental: This feature is experimental. If you enable this feature, email deliverability to some large providers may improve, but WebPros International, LLC does not guarantee it. Tomcat Manager removal In cPanel & WHM version 122, we removed WHM’s Tomcat Manager interface, as it managed Tomcat 8.5, which is deprecated. Instead, use Tomcat 10.1 with containers. Note: Using Tomcat with containers does not provide a user interface. MariaDB the default database management system When you install cPanel & WHM, it now installs MariaDB® 10.11 by default in version 122 and later. To use MySQL or a different version of MariaDB instead, you may customize your installation or upgrade your database version. For more information about what database versions you can use, read our Supported MySQL/MariaDB Versions documentation. Older Roundcube database versions converted to SQLite When your server updates to cPanel & WHM version 122, if Roundcube uses either MySQL version 5.6 or below or MariaDB 10.0, the system will convert the Roundcube database to individual SQLite databases. The system will also update Roundcube to version 1.6. New UAPI functions * <a href=”https://api.docs.cpanel.net/openapi/cpanel/operation/DNS::is_alias_available/” target=”_blank”>DNS::is_alias_available — This function returns whether the ALIAS DNS record is enabled.
