Fixes

• Autostart: Fixed a pause during a normal program restart if a startup delay with Windows was configured.
• Log Viewer: Logs no longer continue updating after closing the viewer window when auto-update mode is enabled.
• Project Indicators: Fixed indication of faults and availability of web projects in the menu; faulty projects are now displayed correctly.
• Module Loading: Fixed program hang when it was impossible to load the profile of an enabled module.
• Menu and Logs: Unified and fixed sorting of menu items and entries in the log viewer window.
• Scheduler: Prevented parallel task runs if the previous execution has not yet finished.

What’s New

• Diagnostics File: Added ospanel_debug.exe to run diagnostics in case of program issues.
• Automated Build: GitHub repositories have been created with configured automated builds of Windows releases of Nginx and PHP with the full set of extensions. The project has fully switched to automated release builds instead of manually updating prebuilt components.
• New System Requirements: Minimum requirements raised to Windows 10 and a processor with SSE4.2 instruction support.
• New Modules: Added Redis 8.2, MariaDB 11.8, RabbitMQ 4.1 with ErlangOTP 27.
• New Add-ons: Added the DB2-ODBC add-on. The MongoDB Shell has been moved into a separate add-on called MongoShell.
• Console Utilities: Added geoiplookup, geoiplookup6, oha, and sqlite3 to extend command-line capabilities.
• PHP CLI: Added a command to invoke the PHP CLI for modules with a refreshed icon in the modules menu.

Changes

• Web Server Architecture: The web server is now configured via the web_engine option instead of the former nginx_engine and php_engine. Running PHP via mod_php and using Nginx as a proxy in front of Apache are no longer supported.
• PHP Modular System: PHP is now available only in the NTS version and works exclusively as a FastCGI server. PHP and Apache modules are completely separated, and the php_engine option now refers to a specific PHP module.
• PHP Configuration: Instead of php_value directives in .htaccess, use ProxyFCGISetEnvIf "true" PHP_VALUE "parameter=value" or a .user.ini file in the project’s public folder.
• Virtual Host Configuration: Apache virtual host macros and Nginx configuration files have been renamed. In Nginx configurations, the $php_server and $backend_server variables have been replaced with $backend_ip and $backend_port.
• Logging: Domain log filenames no longer include the web server’s name.
• IP Addressing: To improve compatibility with firewalls and VPN services, modules now receive IP addresses in the 127.0.1.x range instead of 127.127.x.x.
• Simplified Naming: Add-ons and modules were renamed with version numbers removed where possible to make console usage easier. Descriptor files renamed from addon.dat and module.dat to addon.ini and module.ini.
• Performance: Content compression is disabled by default in Apache and Nginx settings to reduce CPU load.
• Documentation: php.ini files now include inline comments for each option.
• Restructuring: The Blackfire add-on has been converted into a module. MDBTools renamed to MongoTools.
• Updates: All add-ons, modules, and console utilities updated to current versions.

Removed Components

• Deprecated Modules and Add-ons: Removed Perl, mod_perl, extended browscap databases, Redis 3–7, MariaDB 10.1–10.3 and 10.7–11.2, MariaDB 11.7, MySQL 5.6, PostgreSQL 9.5–10, MongoDB 3.x, Memcached 1.4, Nginx 1.27, and older Oracle Instant Client versions (replaced with the latest one).

What's New

• Oracle Instant Client: The Oracle Instant Client package set versions 11.2-23.8 has been added to enable operation of applications and tools that require access to Oracle database.
• Backend Service Proxying: Implemented HTTP/HTTPS traffic redirection from the project to backend services, simplifying the development of modern web applications.
• MongoDB Tools Integration: Added a comprehensive toolkit for efficient MongoDB operations, including data import/export utilities and administrative tools.
• Libwebp Support: Integrated the WebP image processing library, offering improved compression and quality compared to traditional image formats.
• Delayed Startup: Introduced a configurable delay for program autostart on Windows boot, optimizing system load. This is particularly useful when waiting for third-party services or network interfaces to fully initialize.
• Module Deactivation: Added the ability to exclude modules of hidden projects from being deactivated when selecting the "Deactivate All Modules" menu option.
• Profile Synchronization: Added automatic module profile activation based on the current project name when selecting "Enable Project Modules" in the program menu. This significantly speeds up switching between different projects.
• Kazakh language: The Kazakh language file and internal documentation files in Kazakh have been added.

Changes

• Apache Optimization: Reworked the Apache configuration file to enhance performance, fixed potential issues, and added SSL connection logging for extended diagnostics.
• Improved Settings Interface: Updated the module version selection mechanism for projects — now accessible via an intuitive dropdown menu.
• Console Enhancements: Improved error handling and display in the console.
• Faster Startup: Slightly improved configuration processing speed during the startup of web server modules with a large number of hosts.
• Environment Variables: Project environment variables defined in the env.ini file are now automatically passed to the Apache host configuration (previously they were available only in the terminal), and are also accessible in custom Nginx configurations.

Fixes

• Startup Stability: The issue that caused an additional error when the program failed to start due to lack of access to the API has been resolved.
• HOSTS File: Fixed a bug (introduced in version 6.2.9) where the original contents of the HOSTS file could be lost when saving it through the program settings window.
