Adminbolt Version 1.0.4 Is published officialy.
Client REST API Launch
Version 1.0.4 introduces a comprehensive Client REST API, providing end-users with programmatic access to nearly all hosting management capabilities previously available only through the control panel. This includes management of databases, domains, email, FTP, DNS, SSL certificates, security tools, logs, and WordPress installations.
The API was designed with security and consistency in mind, including automatic account scoping through API keys, standardized rate limiting, cleaner responses, improved documentation, and a full audit of endpoint behavior and error handling.
AI Agent & API Architecture Improvements
The API architecture was refactored to clearly separate administrative and client access models. Client-facing APIs are now fully isolated and scoped to their hosting accounts, while administrators retain unrestricted access through dedicated controller implementations.
As part of this work, the former "Hub" API terminology was replaced with "Client" terminology across middleware, traits, and related components, while preserving existing feature-flag functionality.
System Updates Experience Redesign
The system update process received a major usability and reliability overhaul.
Updates now provide clearer status reporting, detailed error handling, live log viewing, automatic page refreshes upon completion, dashboard notifications, and one-click update installation. The interface was simplified into a more streamlined experience while improving visibility into update failures and recovery actions.
Development and unstable release channels were removed, reinforcing a stable-release-only upgrade strategy.
Improved Update Discovery & Module Management
The platform now uses package-manager-native mechanisms to discover updates and retrieve changelogs, replacing previous scraping-based approaches.
Version checks are more accurate, update information is heavily cached for performance, and update reporting now includes both the panel and installed modules in a unified view. Several modules were migrated to fully managed package upgrades, enabling version tracking, upgrade availability detection, and automated upgrade workflows.
New Upgrade Framework
A new upgrade-step framework was introduced to support version-specific migration and maintenance tasks during upgrades.
The framework provides automatic discovery, version gating, tracking, retry capabilities, and module-specific upgrade requirements. This creates a structured and reliable foundation for handling future upgrade operations and migrations.
Reliability & Bug Fixes
Numerous fixes improve day-to-day reliability across the platform, including:
FTP account creation stability improvements.
More efficient phpMyAdmin SSO synchronization.
Multiple .htaccess issue resolutions.
Enhanced hostname SSL management.
Correct dashboard changelog navigation.
Better handling of hidden API secrets in administrative forms.
Internal Refactoring & Cleanup
Several backend services were consolidated and modernized to improve maintainability and consistency. Functionality related to PHP configuration, visitor statistics, update checking, and module management was centralized into dedicated services, while unused dependencies, legacy code paths, and obsolete installation flows were removed.
