[webmin-announce] Virtualmin 3.69 released

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Virtualmin users,

Virtualmin GPL version 3.69 is now available for download from
http://www.webmin.com/virtualmin.html , or our YUM and APT
repositories. This version includes the following new features
and bug fixes :

 * Added buttons to the Manage SSL Certificate page to copy a

   are now logged, and can be viewed using the new Backup Logs page.
 * Moved the option for a secondary group for domain owners to the
   template level.
 * Greylisting using Postgrey can now be setup using Virtualmin, via
   the new Email Greylisting page. In addition, whitelists for SMTP
   servers and email recipents can be managed. This feature was ported
   from the Pro version.

   post-creation scripts in the $PARENT_VIRTUALSERVER_ environment
   variables.
 * Virtual servers can now have IPv6 addresses in addition to v4,
   on Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, CentOS and Fedora systems. Virtualmin

   accept connections to the IPv6 address. All pages that API commands
   that deal with addresses have new fields and options for an optional
   IPv6 address.
 * Added the --purge and --strftime flags to backup-domain.pl, to allow
   automatic deletion of old backups and date-based backup destinations.

[webmin-announce] Webmin module development documentation updated

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Webmin developers,

All the documentation on developing new Webmin modules has been
updated and moved to a new Wiki at http://doxfer.com/Webmin/WebHome .
This now includes auto-generated documentation on the Webmin API, at
http://doxfer.com/Webmin/TheWebminAPI and basic and advanced guides
to module development.

In addition, the APIs exported by several core modules like Users
and Groups and Scheduled Cron Jobs are now documented, which makes
configuring those from your code much easier. Documentation on the
APIs for all core modules will be coming soon.

Also included is documentation on a new feature in Webmin 1.450 and
later - overlay themes, which make theme development that changes
colors and styles much easier. Overlays keep the layout of an existing
theme while allowing the developer to change the CSS, icons and color
scheme, without having to make a wholesale copy of an existing them.

[webmin-announce] Virtualmin 3.67 released

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Virtualmin users,

Virtualmin GPL version 3.67 is now available for download from
http://www.webmin.com/virtualmin.html , or our YUM and APT
repositories. This version includes the following new features
and bug fixes :

 * Converted libraries to use Webmin's new WebminCore module, where
   available. This leads to a signficant improvement in memory use
   and speed.
 * The bandwidth limit and using variables in all email templates
   (BW_LIMIT and BW_USAGE) are now formatted in MB or GB, instead of
   just being a number of bytes.

 * Added Module Config options for commands to be run before and after
   creating, deleting or modifying an email alias.
 * Mail files are now always included in backups and restores, even
   when under /var/mail.
 * If a plan specifies features to be granted to domain owners, those
   features will be enabled on the Create Virtual Server page when the
   plan is selected. Otherwise, defaults set on the Features and Plugins
   page will be used.
 * Added --email-only flags to the list-users.pl and list-domains.pl
   API scripts.
 * Added a button to the Edit Account Plan page to create a new plan
   cloned from an existing one.
 * Added a Module Config option for additional gzip command-line
   parameters, like --best or --rsyncable.
 * Added support for migrating Plesk 9 backups, which have a different
   format to Plesk 7 and 8.
 * Added option to not add MX records for secondary mail servers.
 * Added the --random-pass flag to create-user.pl, to generate a password
   randomly.
 * Added a Module Config option to disallow switching to Usermin as a
   mailbox user by domain owners. 

Also available is an update to the Virtualmin Framed Theme to
version 6.8, and the mobile theme to version 2.1. Finally, all plugins
have been updated to use the new API in Webmin 1.470, which should
significantly reduce Virtualmin's memory use.

[webmin-announce] Webmin devel version 1.455 available

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Webmin users,

Development version 1.455 is now available from http://www.webmin.com/devel.html , in tar.gz,
RPM and Debian package formats. This release includes a major change in the way modules call
the core API, which should both reduce memory use and make it run faster. However, since it is
wide-ranging change, I'm looking for all the testing I can get to find bugs before the next
official release.

So if you have a non-critical system running Webmin, please try upgrading to this version
and letting me know how it goes. Bugs can be sent directly to jca...@we...

Thanks!

   DNS records for multiple domains at once.
 * Added the get-dns.pl command-line script to dump DNS records for a
   virtual server.

And if you use EC2 in Europe, the same image is available over there too, with
ID ami-dc1a32a8. When using the EC2 command line tools, you will need to set the
EC2_URL environment variable to https://eu-west-1.ec2.amazonaws.com to connect
to their European servers.

[webmin-announce] Virtualmin 3.64 released

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Virtualmin users,

Virtualmin GPL version 3.64 is now available for download from
http://www.webmin.com/virtualmin.html . This version fixes several
bugs, and includes the following new features :

 * Multiple virtual servers with SSL enabled can now share the same IP
   address. However, Virtualmin will display a warning message if a new
   domain does not match the hostname in the certificate for an existing
   domain.
 * UCC certificates and CSRs can now be created and displayed on the
   Manage SSL Certificate page.
 * On systems running Postfix with spam filtering enabled, the
   ownership and permissions on the procmail wrapper command are
   validated as part of the configuration check to ensure that it
   is setuid and setgid to root.
 * When a virtual server with slave DNS zones is disabled, then will
   be removed from slave servers to properly prevent DNS resolution of
   the domain. When it is re-enabled, the slave zones will be re-created.
 * Optimized the spam and virus deletion screen to deal better with large
   folders, by processing only 100 messages at a time.
 * Added a check to ensure that the Webalizer template configuration file
   actually exists.
 * Domain owners can now restore from files under their virtualmin-backup
   directory, subject to regular Unix permissions.
 * If the post-modification or creation script for a domain fails, its
   output is now displayed as an error message.
 * Validation now checks that each domain's Unix user and group quotas match
   what Virtualmin expects.
 * Added a DNS template option to have a DNSSEC key generated for new domains,
   and records automatically signed. Requires Webmin version 1.443 or later
   though.
 * Virtual server backups can now be in ZIP format, by changing the 'Backup
   compression format' option on the Module Config page. TAR format is still
   recommended though, as it better preserves Unix filesystem attributes.
 * When submitting a new SSL certificate and key, they are checked to ensure a
   modulus match, ensuring that they were generated and can be used together. 

Also available is an update to the Virtualmin Framed Theme, to
version 6.5, which includes a major CSS rewrite by Joe Cooper,
improvements to the System Information page and other beautifications.

Finally, the AWstats, DAV, SVN and Mailman plugins have all been updated -
you can find them at http://www.webmin.com/plugins.html

As always, let me know of any bugs you find or suggestions you have..

[webmin-announce] Virtualmin 3.63 released

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Virtualmin users,

Virtualmin GPL version 3.63 is now available for download from
http://www.webmin.com/virtualmin.html . This version fixes several
bugs, and includes the following new features :

 - Ported the Change IP Addresses page from Virtualmin Pro, to
   allow updating multiple domains at the same time.
 - Plugins can now define additional inputs to appear on the Create
   Virtual Server page and accepted by create-domain.pl, for options
   specific to the plugin's feature.
 - When the user or group for a domain is changed, references to the
   old user or group in lgorotate.conf are updated to the new values.
 - When setting up clamd, the provided example init script is copied
   instead of bring modified, so that it can be safely replaced by
   RPM upgrades.
 - Changed the meaning of the 'Can choose database names?' server
   owner restriction to just prevent modification of the domain's default
   database, instead of blocking all database management.
 - Mail aliases that forward to all users in a domain can now be created,
   using the Edit Mail Aliases page.
 - SSL keys with passphrases can now be installed on the Manage SSL
   Certificate page, and trying to use a key that needs a passphrase
   without one being entered will display an error.
 - The clamd-stream-client virus scanner can be selected to offload
   the actual scanning process to clamd on a remote system, if you have
   it installed. 

Also available is an update to the Virtualmin Framed Theme, to
version 6.3, and the mobile theme to version 1.9. The latter removes
some un-necessary scrolling animation, and adds support for Android devices.

Finally, the mail relay, slave DNS and domain registration plugins
have been updated - you can find them at http://www.webmin.com/plugins.html

As always, let me know of any bugs you find or suggestions you have..

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Virtualmin users,

Virtualmin GPL version 3.62 is now available for download from
http://www.webmin.com/virtualmin.html . This version fixes several
bugs, and includes the following new features :

 - Added a new sort mode (used by default for new installs) to
   order virtual servers by domain name, but with sub-servers
   indented under them.
 - Included domains for SPF for new virtual servers can now be set
   in server templates.
 - Added a button to the Edit Mailbox page for logging into Usermin
   as a user without having to enter their password. Requires Webmin
   1.440 or later though.
 - On FreeBSD, the Gnu tar command gtar is used in preference to regular
   tar when installed. This allows incremental backups to be performed.
 - When MySQL is on a remote system, the 'show table status' command is
   used to get an approximate size for each database.
 - Added the list-domains.pl API script from Virtualmin Pro.
 - Added a Module Config option to have only one spamassassin process run
   at a time. 

Also available is an update to the Virtualmin Framed Theme, to

Hi Virtualmin users,

Virtualmin GPL version 3.61 is now available for download from
http://www.webmin.com/virtualmin.html . This version fixes several
bugs, and includes the following new features :

 - When the virtualmin --help command is run, it now outputs a
   list of all available API commands with short descriptions,
   broken down into categories.
 - Extra administrators can now have contact email addresses, which
   can be used when sending email to all domain owners. These can be
   set via the web interface, or the command-line API.
 - Added a Module Config option in the advanced section to change
   the path for the API helper command, and improved automatic
   selection of a path if the default directory /usr/sbin is not writable.
 - Ported across all help files from the Pro version, so that all
   pages and most links now have help.
 - Custom links can be limited to virtual servers with a specific
   template if you have any custom templates defined, for more control
   over when each link is displayed.
 - Backups now include any custom template used to create virtual
   servers, which allow domains to be restored even on systems that
   do not yet have the original templates.
 - When a virtual server's IP address is changed, the addresses of
   all alias domains are updated to match.
 - The Website Options page now has a field to enable matching all
   sub-domains for the virtual server's website, via a *.domain.com
   DNS entry and Apache server alias directive.
 - If a backup is taken on a system that uses ~/mail for user folders
   and restored on one using ~/Maildir, they will be properly converted
   during the restore (and vice-versa).
 - Preserve encrypted passwords when backing up domains, in case they
   don't match the plaintext password stored by Virtualmin. Also, have
   validation report an error in the case of a mismatch.
 - Updated Dutch and German translations, thanks to Gandyman and
   Martin Mewes respectively. 

Also available is an update to the Virtualmin Framed Theme, which 
includes some very nice styling and layout changes by Joe Cooper.

[webmin-announce] Virtualmin 3.59 released

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Virtualmin users,

Virtualmin GPL version 3.59 is now available for download from
http://www.webmin.com/virtualmin.html . This version mostly fixes
bugs, but also includes the following new features :

 * Plesk 7 backups can now be migrated as Virtualmin domains, using
   a new backup file type on the migration page.
 * Allow the default shell to be set on a per-template basis.
 * Added a complete Spanish translation, contributed by Ignacio.
 * The bandwidth usage graphs can be restricted to showing just
   servers that are over their limits, using a new mode link.
 * Added a Module Config option to have MySQL users and permissions
   added to multiple servers, for use with replication or NDBCluster.
 * Allow the default shell to be set on a per-template basis.
 * Move some rarely-used options to the Advanced section of the
   Module Config page.
 * Additional manually configured nameservers can now be more easily
   entered in server templates, in the BIND DNS domain section.
 * Converted all command-line API scripts to use POD format documentation.
 * Added the Virtualmin API helper command /usr/sbin/virtualmin, which
   lets you more easily call API scripts with a command like "virtualmin
   list-domains --multiline". Help on commands can also be displayed with
   a command like "virtualmin help list-domains".
 * Purging of old backups made to FTP or SSH servers is now supported, for 
   FTP servers that use Unix directory listings and SSH servers that allow
   commands to be run. 

As always, let me know of any bugs you find or suggestions you have..

[webmin-announce] Virtualmin 3.58 released

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Virtualmin users,

Virtualmin GPL version 3.58 is now available for download from
http://www.webmin.com/virtualmin.html . This version includes
a bunch of new features, such as :

 * Completely re-designed the Virtualmin backup UI, to support multiple backup
   schedules and allow domain owners and resellers to schedule their own backups
   (subject to limits configured by the master administrator). Domain owners
   can now also restore backups of their home directories and databases. Backups
   can either be full or incremental, to speed up the process of backing up large
   but infrequently-changing sites.
 * Old local file backups created using date-based filenames can now be automatically
   deleted if older than a selected number of days, configurable on the Scheduled
   Backups page. 
 * Mailbox users' passwords are now shown in a separate popup window,
   rather than on the Edit Mailbox page where anyone can see them.
 * Added links from the Status section of the System Information page
   to the Webmin modules for their particular servers, and additional
   stats where available.
 * If a migrated domain needs features that are not supported by the
   system, a warning message is displayed.
 * All new SSL certificate and key files how have 700 permissions, so
   that only the domain owner and Apache (which starts as root) can
   read them.
 * All Virtualmin command-line and remote API programs now participate
   in Webmin logging, so their invocation and changes can be viewed in
   the Webmin Actions Log module.
 * Plesk sub-domains are now imported as Virtualmin sub-servers.
 * The $DNS_SERIAL variable can be used in templates, as an initial serial
   for new domains.
 * Improved the migration of Plesk mailbox aliases and forwarding, and
   protected directories.
 * Fixed support for international domain names using non-european character
   sets (like Chinese and Cyrillic) in newer versions of Perl.
 * By default, new DNS zones only allow localhost, hosts on the local network
   and known slaves to transfer records.
 * All text in the Virtualmin user interface is now available in Dutch, thanks
   to Gandyman.
 * The remote hosts from which connections to MySQL are allowed can be easily
   edited on a per-domain basis on the Edit Databases page, in the new
   'Remote hosts' tab. These apply to the domain owner and any mailboxes with
   database access.

Hi Virtualmin users,

Virtualmin GPL version 3.56 is now available for download from

version include :

 - Added links to the Custom Fields feature from the Pro version,

   the whole source file into RAM for parsing.
