panelica-server 1.0.562 - 1.0.564, panel interface 4.5.363 - 4.5.365​
Update from Support > System Updates or with Update All. Every new screen is translated into all 31 languages.

Highlights​
  • VPS Manager - full Linux servers (Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Alpine) next to your sites: root access, own limits that free/htop see, private address with port forwards or a dedicated IP, browser terminal, serial console, file manager. Link a domain to a port inside a VPS like a Docker container, SSL stays in the panel. Installed only when root clicks Install. Guide: VPS Manager on the blog
  • Move a domain to another account (root) - check first, then files, databases, email accounts and settings move with live progress, a final report and rollback on failure. Maintenance page during the move; incoming mail waits.
  • Backup low-resource mode - backups may not take the whole disk: Automatic (half of the measured speed), Light/Balanced/High (~20/50/120 MB/s) or Custom. Off on servers that update until you choose a mode. Guide: Low-resource mode on the blog
  • SSL - issue, renew and reissue use one list of names: renewals keep every subdomain (up to 100 names); the panel waits up to 10 minutes for a certificate; Reissue/Renew list subdomains missing from the certificate.
  • Domain page - new FTP tab (accounts of this domain, create limited to the domain or web folder, real connection details), email aliases and a Forwarders card with catch-all on the Email tab, Redirects tab, Quick Actions tiles.

Docker, Node.js and Python sites​
  • Visitor source port reaches the app (X-Real-Port).
  • Mail client auto-configuration answered by Panelica: automatic, always or never, per domain.
  • Your own nginx directives for the server block and inside location /.
  • A branded page while the app is down.
  • SSL reissue or PHP/web server/cache changes no longer replace an app proxy with a PHP site; affected sites are restored automatically.
  • Containers with a CPU limit see only their own CPUs in htop/top/lscpu; compose services see their own CPU and memory.
  • Node.js and Python sites renew Let's Encrypt again; Docker stack backup/restore work end to end.

Security, mail and migration​
  • Login protection: an account locks for a while after 15 failed logins in 15 minutes; known addresses are not affected; values in Panel Settings > Rate limit. IP Blocking > Panel logins tab.
  • Fail2ban: SSH jail follows the real SSH port, limits survive restarts, whitelist reaches every jail, web scanner jail, custom jails.
  • ModSecurity events with IP (IPv6 too), real time, browser and all matched rules; bulk mode on the WAF page.
  • Webmail: IP binding is a setting (off by default); sender must belong to the signed-in email account.
  • Panelica to Panelica migration carries DNS records, subdomains and their PHP versions, SSL records and the panel password. After any migration, check every site - some manual steps may still be needed.
  • No more logouts with several tabs open or when switching between IPv4 and IPv6.

Fixes​
  • File manager: text preview, Edit from preview, Open in Browser, rename with F2, Enter confirms delete.
  • Subdomains: one add/edit window; the document root is never empty.
  • Reinstall never installs an older version.
  • PHP-FPM reload waits until it is ready; a stopped Postfix is started instead of reloaded.
