cPanel & WHM 11.28 to be released.....

[AlexP]

cPanel & WHM 11.28 version will be released on November 3, 2010. The newest version of cPanel & WHM will include a number of new features and important improvements to existing features.

The following new major features will be includes in cPanel & WHM 11.28 release

Improved Security
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has included important security features. System administrators can now:

* Set a maximum password age.
* Require users from unrecognized IP addresses to answer security questions before they access cPanel, WHM, and webmail.

Database Mapping
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the current, cPanel has always appended an account's username to any database name or database username created by the account (for example, a database might be named "user_dbname"). This changes with the addition of the Database Mapping feature. The latest version of cPanel & WHM allows system administrators to disable this naming convention, providing greater flexibility to you and your clients.

This change:

* Simplifies migration from other control panels
* Improves use of remote database servers
* Lays a foundation for future improvements to database service enhancements.

Cpanel has added support for the new Horde Groupware Webmail Edition in cPanel & WHM 11.28.Horde Groupware Webmail Edition is a enterprise ready, browser based communication suite.

I would assume so by now. Could be wrong though.

I've just logged in and realise that I don't have to do the upgrades - I set the auto upgrades feature so its all done for me. A definite moment!

Yes, all of our Linux shared hosting servers (& mostly all Linux Dedicated servers which have the auto update feature enabled) are updated to the latest cPanel version
