The previous release was intense! Not only did we finally launch the long-awaited File Manager (supporting all types of servers, even WP Cloud!), but we also addressed 41 (!) enhancements and fixes.
We’re maintaining the momentum, and it’s time to introduce some major additions:
- Background Billing: This one is long overdue, and many customers have been waiting for a smoother onboarding process for new users and migrations. The current registration/purchase flow through systems like WHMCS is outdated and cumbersome. This feature will streamline everything, making it work like a site builder—just a single click and a simple registration before moving forward to build your site. However, it’s a complex feature, so we’ll need some time, and we’re not sure if it will be ready by the next version.
- Dark Theme: This one is nearly finished, so we’ll be adding it to the next version as a cool interface option. Personally, I use dark mode whenever possible, and many end users find it more comfortable.
- Logs: We’ll be adding WP Error Logs, PHP Logs, and Webserver Logs to both the client and admin areas. Many customers have requested this feature in the panel, and we’re making it happen.
- Automatic Test Tool: PanelAlpha offers flexibility with server configurations and third-party systems, but this makes it challenging to cover every possible setup. To address this, we’re introducing an Automatic Test Tool, allowing customers to quickly check all panel features before going live (or after an update).
Meanwhile, we’re actively working on PanelAlpha Engine v1.0, with an estimated release in Q2—stay tuned!
We’re targeting March 26th for the next update.
