Plesk Obsidian 18.0.62 is now available

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.62 is now available for upgrades and new installations. Let’s look at a few of the features included.

Extended life cycle support

Introduction of Expanded Lifecycle Support (ELS) programDesigned to give you more time and peace of mind to migrate your Plesk server from an operating system to the end of life to a supported. Depending on the underlying operating system, this program runs:

Centos 7 & CloudLinux 7.- 1 January 2026

Seller Eol Date 30. June 2024

Ubuntu 18.04 & Debian 10 – 1. July 2025

Seller Eol Date September 2024 for Ubuntu 18.04; June 30, 2024

Until the above specified dates, Plesk will release updates and provide technical support to these operating systems beyond the seller EOL dates. Because supporting operating systems at the end of life incur additional development and maintenance costs, it requires benefit from this extended coverage option a monthly subscription fee.

To avoid additional fees and to make sure your servers are up to date, we highly recommend migration or dist-upgrade to a supported operating system.

Tracking E -Mail -Ave

The latest update to the Log Browser extension includes the new tracking delivery tool. Plesk -Customers and Plesk -Administrators can now track the delivery of E -mail and manage deferred e emails right in the domain card under the Mail tab. This feature is only available in Plesk to Linux with Postfix as the designated MTA.

StreamLine E -Mail -Avering Error Finding

The Track E -Mail -Supply Tools can make the following manual tasks easier, saving time while troubleshooting E -Mail delivery:

Check if E emails were sent to an external server or are stuck in the local mail queue. The tool’s interface shows more information about the cause of delivery problems.

See mail logs for shipped e emails. In a situation where an E email was sent from the Plesk server successfully, see Post logs to reveal where in the delivery chain an E email encountered external mail server problems.

This feature is gradually pushed to customers but you can manually activate the feature in advance by adding the following lines to Panel.ini file:

[ext-log-browser]  
mailQueue.customerAccess = true

Security.txt — Compliance

Support to Security.txt Standard is now available with Plesk!

Security.txt standard defines a joint procedure for communicating and reporting vulnerabilities, which helps security researchers get in touch with a server owner.

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.62 provides extensions to this compliance to create a global security.txt file for sites that are currently going without.

How we maintain core functionality

Now available via Native Security.txt Compliance Extension. Plesk -Administrator -e email is used in the contact box and we also maintain the field expires to display requests of the file Security.txt that the information contained in the file is up to date. The entire file can be customized and is available via CLI:

# plesk ext security-txt-plesk

In collaboration with LJPC solutionsanother Security.txt -Expansion is now available in Plesk Extension catalog. This extension includes advanced functionality, such as a built -in file generator.

HTTPS DNS RECORD SUPPORT

Introducing an alternative to CNAME posts, HTTPS DNS.

In addition to the possibility of configuring HTTPS items to Naked domainsAs CNAME -POSTS CANNOT DO, HTTPS -POSTS CAN ALSO:

Alias whole domains without configuring an HTTP for HTTPS omriving on the web server.

Give more direct paths for routing web traffic by avoiding the extra lookup stage required with CNAME items, reducing latency time and improving side times.

Use different values within the priority field and create a relapse configuration for the service.

Specify different TCP/UDP ports.

Signal to clients The supported protocol versions.

This feature is disabled in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.62 by default but can be manually activated by adding the following lines to Panel.ini file:

[dns] 
records.https.enabled = true

Once enabled, HTTPS DNS -POSTS can be controlled in Plesk -user interface using API requests or the following CLI command:

plesk bin dns

Further improvements and bug fixes

Navigation between the most commonly used pages in Plesk is now 3 times faster.

Install and remove PHP 5.6 from PLSK servers running Almalinux 8 and 9 via Plesk installer. You no longer need to switch sites running on PHP 5.6 to a supported PHP version before migration to avoid possible migration problems.

NOTE: PHP 5.6 is EOL and does not receive important security fixes. After migration, we recommend switching your sites to a supported PHP version.
