• X-Monitoring module is now built in and you do not need to install it separately!

• Security requirements are growing. Hackers are constantly enhancing their skills, and ability to withstand the tricky attacks is a must. For this reason we have taken decision to implement a number of serious security improvements including but not limited to:

  • Only strong passwords are now accepted for Admins accounts; Admin’s session security is improved considerably (IP-based protection added).
  • Changes to files, database and security settings from admin area are now blocked by default. They should be approved beforehand (e.g. by means of uploading a confirmation file via FTP or allowing the admin’s IP).
  • Smarty security mode is enabled
  • Passwords storing mechanism has been cardinally revised.
  • The execution of cleanup.php is Auth_key-protected.

We definitely like it, do you?
