Software Releases

cPanel 11.28

In this version, cPanel introduces several convenient new features that make it easy to customize your server.

New Features

Security policy

WHM and cPanel account owners can now:

  • Set a maximum password age. (Once the password hits that age, it must be reset.)
  • Require users from unrecognized IPs to answer security questions before they can access the server's cPanel, WHM, and webmail interfaces.

Database Mapping

This feature provides greater flexibility in naming databases and database users.

As a result, for accounts that migrate to cPanel from other control panels, applications like blogs and forums will work with minimal changes.

Horde Groupware Webmail Edition

cPanel now provides Horde Groupware Webmail Edition, which allows for sharing of calendars, contacts, and tasks.

Integration with custom webmail applications

Server owners can offer third-party webmail applications, right from the cPanel interface.

Redesigned WHM interfaces

The Tweak Settings, Exim Configuration Editor, and Basic cPanel/WHM Setup screens have been reorganized in the following ways:

  • Tabs now divide settings into logical categories.
  • Each interface now warns users when they try to enter invalid data.
  • A Search field makes it easier to find specific settings.

Locking Support for WebDAV

cPanel's Web Disk feature (a WebDAV implementation) now supports resource locking. This increases the number of supported WebDAV clients, and can prevent data loss when you use Web Disk with a locking-compatible client.

You can find details about all features included in this version in the Release Notes for cPanel/WHM 11.28.

NOTE: cPanel is changing the way we number our versions. This version was formerly called 11.25.1. For more information, please read our policy on versions and the release process.
