Small critical Improvements
- Added the ability to recalculate disk space and traffic usage data for individual domains to the Plesk interface.
- Webalizer can now be installed on servers running AlmaLinux 8 / Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
- Classic list view has been updated to appear and function more closely to Dynamic list view, and also renamed to “Dynamic list view - show websites on a separate page”. If you used Classic list view in the past, “Dynamic list view - show websites on a separate page” should provide a similar, but improved experience.
- Made a number of improvements to Dynamic list view:
- Updated the layout of the list of hosted domains in Dynamic list view to make it easier to tell domains from subdomains and to make managing large numbers of domains easier in Dynamic list view.
- Added the ability to search for domains to Dynamic list view.
- Updated the Dynamic list view tour to highlight the changes and improvements made to Dynamic list view in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.51.
- Changed the icon of the “View on a separate page” button for better legibility, and also added a “Copy domain name” button in Dynamic list view.
- Added the Install application button in the Dynamic list view, under “Dev Tools”. Clicking it opens a drawer from which you can install web applications, such as Laravel, Node.js, and Ruby, on your domain. The list of available applications depends on what extensions are installed in Plesk.
- Reworked the mail service options for individual domains. The available options are now “the domain can both send and receive email”, “the domain can send, but not receive email”, and “the domain can neither send nor receive email”. Selecting the latter option also removes all existing mailboxes for the domain together with all incoming and outgoing mail.
- Updated the links on Plesk error pages to avoid confusion.
- To bring Plesk in line with the evolving industry-standard vocabulary, the following changes were made to the terms used in Plesk:
- “Master DNS server/zone” > “Primary DNS server/zone”
- “Slave DNS server/zone” > “Secondary DNS server/zone”
- Illustrations in Plesk have been redone in a unified style for consistency, visual integrity, and emotional response based on our target audience opinions and identified by tests.
- Requests from the Plesk Screenshot Service to websites hosted in Plesk are now marked by the custom “Plesk screenshot bot” User-Agent header.
- Plesk Premium Antivirus has been converted from a Plesk component to an extension.
Future Plans
- In the nearest future, we plan to switch PHP used by Plesk to PHP 8.2. This is because security support for PHP 8.0 will end in November 2023. If you are running any custom extensions, you will need to update them to support PHP 8.2 to avoid potential issues.
This change is scheduled to take place with the release of Plesk Obsidian 18.0.53 (early June 2023). - In the nearest future, we plan to stop shipping MyLittleAdmin with Plesk. This is because MyLittleAdmin is not in active development, and has known security issues. Instead, Plesk will provide links to downloadable clients and instructions on how to connect the client to the Plesk server.
This change is scheduled to take place with the release of Plesk Obsidian 18.0.53 (early June 2023).
