Last week’s release went smoothly! We’ve added Dark Theme and Logs (WP Error Logs, PHP Logs, Web Server Logs). Now, it’s time to finish the long-awaited Background Billing feature.
Here’s a summary of what’s coming in the next version:
- Background Billing: This will provide a seamless experience for your customers, enabling trial accounts and instant redirection to the WordPress admin area directly from your website. Combined with a tool like Extendify, it will feel like a website-builder experience.
- Change Service Owner: You’ll be able to change the owner of an entire service directly in the admin area. This keeps relationships between sites and services intact without affecting security or uptime. Changing the owner of an individual site would require a full migration, so we’re holding off on that for now due to its complexity.
In the meantime, we’re also nearly ready to launch the Automatic Test Tool as a separate non-software update. PanelAlpha offers great flexibility with server configurations and third-party systems, which can make universal coverage tricky. The Automatic Test Tool will help customers quickly verify all panel features—either before going live or after an update.
As mentioned last time, we’re also actively working in parallel on PanelAlpha Engine v1.0!
We’re targeting April 23rd for the next update.
