[cPanel-News] cPanel 11.24

[Eric Gregory]

cPanel, announced this week the release of version 11.24 of their  
industry leading server management software.  Version 11.24 introduces  
a new initiative to cPanel’s software, cPanel Accelerated.  cPanel  
Accelerated brings new features designed to decrease system resource  
usage and increase speed and performance significantly from previous  
versions.

A substantial portion of the codebase of cPanel and the x3 interface  
itself has been streamlined and made to perform better and require  
less bandwidth.  Also available as part of cPanel Accelerated are two  
alternatives for DNS and IMAP.  The NSD nameserver can reduce memory  
usage for DNS functions by up to 40% over BIND.  On busy nameservers  
that can add up to a huge resource savings.  Also included in version  
11.24 is Dovecot IMAP as an alternative to Courier IMAP.  Dovecot  
provides up to a 25% reduction in disk I/O as well as using between  
10% to 70% less memory then Courier.  Security has also been enhanced  
with the reworking of cPanel’s process monitoring daemon to include  
service specific verification which helps to improve the security of  
running processes.  Backups are faster too.  Pkgacct 8 has been  
reworked to become significantly faster then previous versions.  That  
means you can safely backup your data and restore it, both  
incrementally & non-incrementally much more quickly then previous  
versions.  This all adds up to increased performance, reduced resource  
usage and ultimately a more efficient webhosting operation for cPanel  
customers.


As of Thursday, 10/30/2008, 11.24 and all its new enhancements will be  
available in the CURRENT build of cPanel.  11.24 will then make its  
way into the STABLE tree later in November.  The best part of  
upgrading to 11.24 is that it’s very simple.  Also, many of the  
improvements introduced require no user interaction, they just work.
