Plesk 11.0 Preview

[Sergey L]

Hello,

Plesk 11.0 previews are available at http://www.parallels.com/download/plesk/11 and will be updated weekly.

You can download a build and a license key there.

The recommended evaluation path would be either to restore backup of live machine there or clone a live machine and attempt upgrade. In case there would be a problem, either you would notice it as a result of this operations OR it will be noticed by Parallels (in case you didn't choose to block sending problem reports).

Changelog is available (but yet more items to be delivered in next builds). Things to pay special attention at:
- Nginx
- cloning feature makes preparing and applying images for hypervisor VMs (Xen, PSBM, KVM, etc) much easier

Regards

First look:

Still - courier-imap.
No other web-mail clients (Horde; Atmail), but from first look, looks third party web-mail now works correctly.
Changed default template for Plesk, but not CBM.
Still no ability for customer to get Schet-factura, only invoice.
No ability to customize online store.
PhpMyAdmin 3.4.5 when 3.4.10 available.

EgidijusS, thank you for your feedback.

PhpMyAdmin 3.4.5 when 3.4.10 available.

All updates of third-party components will be performed before release.

 

[EgidijusS]

What about more detailed changelog? Now is a little bit hard to find all changes?

Can we expect dovecot support in this version?

Dennisen, now we have some unresolved problems with this OS and it will be available for next preview (2-3 weeks).

 

[D3nnis3n]

:/ I thought the next Previews Release was March 06, now it is March 28.

 

[EgidijusS]

Next expected update: 28 Mar 2012

Seems that there is much more problems ...

I hope, Parallels will integrate Horde Framework 4.0 (Imp 5) into Plesk.

The actual used version in Plesk 10.4.4. of Horde Framework 3.3.10 (Imp 4) is a little bit old!!

Hi, more detailed changelog will be available a bit later. We are continue development, so most of smaller changers will be shipped next previews. Dovecot isn't yet included unfortunately.

Hi, we will ship next preview right after scheduled completion of internal iteration (~ one month). Next preview will have more features available and then we will start shipping them weekly (fixes and stabilization). Previously announced date was a miscommunication.

Please, subscribe to our RSS on page http://www.parallels.com/download/plesk/10/ and you can download autoinstalled for OpenSUSE 12.1 there too.

Thanks, installed it! Today it was release for Preview 11.0 also, but i can't install it:

Installation will not continue because your operating system
"'SuSE' 'Linux' '12.1' 'x86_64'" is not supported.

Any workaround? Bugreport has already been sent.

//EDIT: Lol, a second after i posted this and restarted the installer, it now works oO

Nice. I will try it today.

 

[EgidijusS]

As I see there is still total mess with CBM language files. I have own localisation and all fields are changed. Now I need again do lot of work to fix.

 

[EugeneL]

Hello, EgidijusS

Could you please be more specific about what is wrong with CBM locale?
Do you mean that there are a lot of changes in locale which you now need to translate into your language?

 

[EgidijusS]

Sorry, that was my mistake. I didn't clean cache, so in store was only vars. After clearing cache seems OK.

But there still is another issue with anacron job:

sendmail: warning: inet_protocols: IPv6 support is disabled: Address family not supported by protocol
sendmail: warning: inet_protocols: configuring for IPv4 support only
postdrop: warning: inet_protocols: IPv6 support is disabled: Address family not supported by protocol
postdrop: warning: inet_protocols: configuring for IPv4 support only
/etc/cron.daily/60sa-update:

Shutting down psa-spamassassin service: [ OK ]
Starting psa-spamassassin service: [ OK ]

I receiving this mail every day. Is there any problems with server conf or with plesk. I'm talking about IPv6. It is clean CentOS 5.
