[1.3.0] - 2026-07-15
This release adds mailbox migration from external IMAP servers, reseller resource limits, a panel-wide translation sweep with 18 new languages, automatic SSL issuance and renewal for hosting domains and a round of security hardening across the panel, the bolt-agent and the bundled modules.
New Features
- Mailbox import via IMAP (AB-1113): You can now migrate email from an external IMAP server into an existing mailbox. The client panel adds a per-mailbox Import email (IMAP) action with connection testing and live progress.
- Reseller resource limits (AB-987): Resellers now have resource limits on the accounts they manage, the same kind of controls admins already had.
- 18 new panel languages (AB-1121): Added Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese and 16 additional languages.
- Full panel translation sweep (AB-1106): Hardcoded UI strings across the panel are now wrapped for translation.
- Automatic SSL for hosting domains (AB-1107): Hosting domain certificates are now issued and renewed automatically, with no manual step to keep them valid.
- Unattended install admin password (AB-526): A new command lets you set the admin password during an unattended installation, which makes automated provisioning easier.
Improvements
- Lighter agent health checks (AB-1045): The Services page now polls a lighter health endpoint, which reduces load on the server. Detailed CPU and RAM metrics are available separately.
- Server metrics via bolt-agent (AB-993): Server metrics are now read through the bolt-agent, which is lighter and more reliable.
- ModSecurity audit log page (AB-1019): The ModSecurity audit log viewer now works end to end.
- Plan allocation alerts (AB-962): Fully used plan allocations no longer raise critical-severity alerts.
- PHP system restrictions (AB-1041): Saving
disable_functions or disable_classes now restarts PHP-FPM so the change actually takes effect.
- Imported domain PHP engine (AB-1053): Importing a domain on a LiteSpeed server now picks the correct PHP engine for that server.
- Mail SSL (AB-1013, AB-1046): Issuing an SSL certificate no longer re-runs full mail auto-discovery on every request, and mail hostnames such as
mail, autoconfig and autodiscover now get their own certificate coverage.
Bug Fixes
- MySQL complex passwords (AB-1022): MySQL user creation now accepts a wider range of complex passwords.
- Update modal after update (AB-1103): The update modal no longer stays open after an update completes.
- mod_passenger uninstall (AB-1054): Uninstalling mod_passenger now removes its module from the Apache configuration.
Security
This release includes a round of security hardening across the panel, the bolt-agent and the bundled modules. Sensitive values get tighter storage and access controls, and several inputs get stricter validation on submit.
