Save File Manager editor options evolutionnew ​

File Manager now saves your editor preferences, including line numbers, line wrap, and tab size. Your selected options stay in place and no longer reset when the browser is reloaded.

The File Manager editor footer now displays the cursor position, including the current line and column.

View User > User Domains evolutionnew ​

The View User page has been split into two separate pages: User Info and User Domains. This would simplify the layout of each page, provide better concern separation and improve navigating user-related resources.

TLS support for connecting to MySQL/MariaDB databases new ​

The directadmin service settings for connecting to a remote MySQL/MariaDB server are updated to support enabling connection encryption.

The configuration file /usr/local/directadmin/conf/mysql.conf has two new fields:

  • tls=yes/no enables or disables encryption of the outgoing connections to the database server.
  • tls_verify=yes/no enables or disables strict verification of the server TLS certificate. Disabling the verification can be useful if the database server is using self-signed certificates.

Simplified system file editor evolutionupdate ​

The previous system file editor included advanced features and extra options that were not needed for everyday tasks. In this release, it was replaced with a simpler standard editor to make file editing easier and more straightforward.

Disk Usage evolutionupdate ​

Disk usage pages have been restyled, replacing the tabbed layout with a streamlined single-page experience.

Removed "Edit in new tab" action in File Manager evolutionremoval ​

The separate "Edit in new tab" action has been removed from File Manager. As the editor workflow has improved, this extra action is no longer needed.

Protected directories outside the document root directory removal ​

It will no longer be possible to password-protect directories that are outside of the virtual host document root directory.

Protecting such directories used to work only when the Apache web server was used. This change unifies how the protected directories work across all web servers.
