Version History

What's new in 4PSA DNS Manager 3.6.0 release 090312.03

[+] System wide templates was added, this type of templates added by admin will be available to all clients.
[+] Performance improved on DNS Round Robin monitoring when a lot of resources are monitored.
[+] Remote update locations can be now in IDN format.
[+] Improved memory footprint on the HTTP server used by DNS Manager by using lighthttpd.
[+] It is possible to choose in the interface which is the primary nameserver on a zone (required for some local TLDs).
[+] Improved parsing of remote update files.
[+] The remote update can be done more often (minimum interval is set to two minutes).
[+] In the Remote update locations list the Last Update column is now the date of the last update attempt. Previously it was the date when something was updated, causing confusion.
[+] The target from SRV records can be also in other zone.
[+] Zone owning mechanism was improved: a zone owned by interface cannot be modified from a Remote Location and vice versa, and a zone owned by a Remote Location cannot be changed from interface (because it's useless). The only features that can be changed from the interface on a zone owned by a Remote Location are: transfer IP addresses, zone SOA, and zone status (enabled / disabled).
[+] Export XML is now available from client context.
[+] Help system improved, the help is displaying icons from the used skin and the name of the product is no longer displayed when the whitebox license is loaded.
[-] Minor interface bugs fixes
[-] Fixed random crash of updateurld daemon under 64bit operating systems
