General

Changes:

• Added new BETA TESTING option: MESSENGERV3. This provides the MESSENGER service utilising the local webserver. It currently supports Apache v2.4+ and Litespeed/Openlitespeed. As the first iteration this likely contains bugs and may not be suitable for production environments. See csf.conf and readme.txt for more information
• Changed Country Code Lookup source to ipdeny.com
• Added CC_ALLOW_SMTPAUTH to all configurations for the benefit of servers other than cPanel running Exim
• Modify CC_ALLOW_FILTER to allow RELATED, ESTABLISHED connections through so that outgoing connection replies from remote sites not in CC_ALLOW_FILTER are accepted
• Added a note in csf.conf regarding MESSENGER_CHILDREN, that consideration needs to be made for local images displayed on the page. The default has also been increased to 20 for new installations Modifications to MESSENGER server to speed up connection response time and improve stability
• Modifications to LFD UI and CLUSTER server to improve stability
• Added SUDO login alerts: LF_SUDO_EMAIL_ALERT. This will send an email alert using the sudoalert.txt template whenever there is a failed or successful SUDO connection. SUDO_LOG must be set to the correct log file. LF_SUDO_EMAIL_ALERT is disabled by default
• Added new entry in csf.pignore on cPanel servers for v86+:
  exe:/usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-hibernate
• Added Server Check for EOL PHP v7.1
• Removed cPanel update checks from the Server Report now that the options are no longer available in cPanel v86+
• NOTICE: We are deprecating support for Virtuozzo/OpenVZ servers. Future releases will not take into consideration those platforms which have become onerous to support. The software application may continue to work but support and functionality is no longer guaranteed

Changes:

• Changed mailman listings in csf.pignore on cPanel servers to cater for changes in python versions in RHEL v6/7 and 8
• Fixed issue with CC_ALLOW_FILTER when not using IPSET but using SAFECHAINUPDATE would cause the new chain to be created in the wrong place by lfd when the zone is retrieved/updated
• Fixed issue when using CC_ALLOW_FILTER with IPSET enabled not adding the final DROP rule in lfd
• Further modifications to support RHEL/CentOS v8
• Fixed issues with MESSENGER and CLUSTER server listeners terminating prematurely

Changes:

• Added alternative database for Country Code Lists and Settings. These do not currently require logins/keys and in some cases are better optimised. A new setting CC_SRC allows switching between sources. For new installations these new sources are used. Existing installations are configured to continue to use the MaxMind databases. See the “Country Code Lists and Settings” section in /etc/csf/csf.conf for detailed information
• Added binary locations for CURL and WGET which will be tried if data retrieval fails when using the LWP perl module, e.g. on outdated OS’s
• Added new option for URLGET setting “3”. This allow the use of either CURL or WGET instead of the perl modules

Changes:

• Modified CyberPanel installation to support move to python3

Changes:

• Fixed interdependence issue between Country Code lookups and Country Code filters in lfd introduced in v13.09
• Improved MM_LICENSE_KEY error messages
