1.6.03
Released: 22 July 2011
Features
Added support for CentOS 6 hosts (Master & Slave).

Added option to revert to rate flag for Xen virtual server network speed limiting. Option is for each node.
Added disk limit, memory limit, allocated memory & allocated bandwidth variables to the admin API node-statistics function.
Re-written binaries to support CentOS 6.
Added function to monitor the master MySQL server and restart if necessary.
BugFixes
Fixed issue where OpenVZ resources would not change correctly.
Fixed issue where logical volume space would not show correctly when master was installed on CentOS 6.
Fixed issue where slave would not detect the master ip correctly if the master was using IPv6.
Fixed issue when adding random IPv6 addresses the gateway would not be detected correctly.
Fixed issue with KVM/libvirt XML symlinks.
Shortened several client area SQL queries.
Fixed issue where system information on admin home would sometimes display the swap information incorrectly.
Fixed issue where templates would not delete from template list.
Notes
A new beta installer is available that support CentOS 5 & 6. Please note there is no support for Xen on CentOS 6 in this installer (yet). Also note that CentOS 6 is still new so expect bugs at OS level. Beta Installer: v1.15 Beta
1.6.02
Released: 29 June 2011
BugFixes
Fixed issue where KVM status’s were not showing correctly.
Login emails are now forked in the backgroud. This should prevent long login times if the master has slow resolver ip’s.
Optimized various SQL queries.
Notes
The master loading times should be a lot faster in this version. SQL queries have been cut down by 40%.

1.6.00
Released: 27 June 2011
Features
Added better detection of KVM virtual server online status.
Added new reboot/boot system for KVM virtual servers.
Admin API
vserver-infoallnow returns the main ip of the virtual server.Added KVM/Xen IP address protection. This option stops virtual servers from using ip addresses not assigned to them (untested on IPv6).
Added option to enable/disable IP address protection on a per host node basis.
Added limited ARP attack protection. This feature will only work if ip restrictions is enabled.
Added new bandwidth accounting system. The new system has been rewritten from scratch. Traffic is now accounted for on a per ip rx/tx basis. You can view the specific traffic for an ip address by viewing the list of ip’s for the virtual server in the admin area.
Added option to revert back to the legacy bandwidth accounting system.
Added new network speed function for KVM, Xen PV & Xen HVM. This feature supports upto 1gbit transfer speeds and works on a per interface basis.
Added option to disable auto transfers of ISO for KVM. This feature will be expanded to full automation in a future release.
Added the option to force PAE ON for Xen HVM and KVM builds from the API.
Added better cookie protection to the admin/reseller/client areas.
All virtual server status’s are now collected in one call instead of seperate calls for the same host node.
Added TUN kernel module check for OpenVZ based host nodes.
BugFixes
Fixed issue where virtual servers being built by the API would not set PAE to ON if specified in the ISO being used.
Fixed several CSS bugs on reseller area.
Fixed issue where dns lookups on email addresses would make the login process for clients/resellers hang.
Fixed bug where stale partition mappings would be left after a HVM template rebuild.
Fixed bug where the Default node group would not list the correct nodes.
Fixed bug where Xen PV virtual servers were not being deleted if the virtual server was suspended.
Fixed issue where the console password would not change using the
vserver-consolepassadmin API function.Fixed bug where Xen HVM virtual servers would crash if rebooted when ISO is not found on the host.
Fixed bug where OpenVZ virtual servers would cause a memory burst on reboot (vzctl workaround).
Fixed issue where adding a full /24 (IPv4) to ipblocks would miss the last ipaddress.
Fixed bug where the API log would not log reboots via the API correctly.
Fixed bug where SMS would not send on high host node alert.
Fixed issue where large database backups would not send via email.
Notes
Version 1.6.00 & above requires port 5656 (SSL) enabled on your master. This should always be enabled!
Most of this version is based on backend changes. Several parts of the core have been rewritten & streamlined.
