Hello,
Plesk will be upgraded on Baryon to the latest version, which has a lot of new features and performance improvements. Here are just some of them:
- Plesk Desktop - Now administrators and clients have quick access to major management functions and they have immediate access to mission critical information and statistics. The task-oriented design also allows administrators to create "favorites" and "shortcuts". Plesk Desktop allows all clients to have their own desktops with a customizable set of essential tasks and statistics.
- PHP4 and PHP5 per Domain - This new feature meets the demand from our customers to have Plesk with PHP4 and PHP5 integration on the same machine. In Plesk 8.1, users can select which version of PHP they want to use on each virtual host.
- Upgraded Horde IMP - The Horde IMP Webmail application integrated with Plesk is upgraded to the latest stable release. Included in this upgrade are Email Filter Rules Manager (Ingo), Notes and Memos Application (Mnemo), Kronolith Calendar Application, and much more.
- Immediately Run Scheduled Tasks - In this release, users have the option of running the scheduled tasks immediately if necessary.
- ODBC Data Source Limits - It is possible to specify specify the maximum number of ODBC data sources in order to avoid ODBC data source misuse by your customers.
- FrontPage Mail Settings - This feature allows users to manage mail account and SMTP server settings for Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions.
- More Subdomain Levels - Plesk users can operate with an unlimited depth of subdomain levels now, which allows them to comfortably organize the structure of their web sites as needed
- Additional Control Panel Branding - You can now brand the Plesk control panel-s web pages, and use your company logo in the Plesk control panel.
- Upgraded SiteBuilder - SiteBuilder was upgraded to 3.2.1
- Upgraded client PHP - Client PHP was upgraded to 5.2.0
- Bugfixes - All serious and most minor bugs were fixed, making Plesk 8.1 one of the most stable hosting control panels on the market.
- Improvements - Plesk 8.1 includes a number of various improvements in terms of stability, security, usability and other important things. Working with Plesk is now easier and safer than ever.
The upgrade will take place on Sunday, February 18, 2006 at 1:00 AM US EST and this may cause a few minutes of downtime so some of our services. Mainly, the Plesk Control Panel will be unavailable, but other services may be affected (IIS will be restarted during the upgrade and the server may be rebooted once everything is complete).
