MariaDB® 11.4 support added

In cPanel & WHM version 124, we added support for MariaDB 11.4. If your server uses MariaDB for its database server, MariaDB 11.4 now appears as an option in WHM’s Upgrade Database Version interface (WHM » Home » Database Services » Upgrade Database Version). For information about changes to MariaDB in version 11.4, read MariaDB’s Changes and Improvements in MariaDB 11.4 documentation.

Improved DMARC support

In cPanel & WHM version 124, we improved our support for DMARC. We added the ability for server administrators to apply a default DMARC policy to the server’s domains. We also made it easier for cPanel users to manage their domains’ DMARC records.

As part of our improved support, we made the following changes:

  • Enabled the Advanced Zone Editor by default — When your server updates to cPanel & WHM version 124, the Feature Showcase interface displays the Enable Advanced Zone Editing for Improved DMARC Support option. When you select this option, the system enables the Zone Editor (AAAA, CAA, DMARC, SRV, TXT) feature in WHM’s Feature Manager interface (WHM » Home » Packages » Feature Manager) for all feature lists with the Zone Editor (A, CNAME, MX) feature enabled.

    Important:

    We strongly recommend that you enable this option. If you do not enable this option, your users may not be able to manage their DMARC records.

    On new installations of cPanel & WHM version 124, the system automatically enables the Zone Editor (AAAA, CAA, DMARC, SRV, TXT) feature for the default feature list in WHM’s Feature Manager interface (WHM » Home » Packages » Feature Manager).

  • Added a new interface for server-wide DMARC records — We added WHM’s Email DNS Record Manager interface (WHM » Home » DNS Functions » Email DNS Record Manager). This interface allows you to apply a default DMARC policy to your server’s domains.

  • Added DMARC to Email Deliverability — We added the ability to add a default DMARC policy to WHM’s Email Deliverability interface (WHM » Home » Email » Email Deliverability) and cPanel’s Email Deliverability interface (cPanel » Home » Email » Email Deliverability).

  • Added DMARC to Create a New Account and Modify an Account — We added DMARC support to WHM’s Create a New Account interface (WHM » Home » Account Functions » Create a New Account) and WHM’s Modify an Account interface (WHM » Home » Account Functions » Modify an Account). To add a default DMARC policy to domains on a new or modified account, select the Enable DMARC on this account. checkbox in the DNS Settings section of the corresponding interface.
