[+] Migrate sites instead of user accounts. As there is 1 to 1 relation between user accounts and sites, there is no difference whether to migrate sites or accounts. However, the site migration is more convenient as account usernames are sometimes meaningless, so we updated the migration wizard so that you could select sites. Related user accounts are migrated as well.
Note: If there are two sites with the same site administrator's usernames, such sites are not migrated. To migrate these sites as well, resolve the conflicts.
[*] Changes in migration of DNS TXT records. DNS TXT records are now seamlessly migrated to Panel and appear without quotation marks.
[*] Changes in migration of anonymous FTP shares. For name-based sites, Panel migrates the content of FTP shares but does not support anonymous FTP on such sites.

The migrated Apache log files are available under a customer's system domain (named webNN.provider.tld, where NN is the user's number and the provider.tld is the host name of the machine with Confixx).
[+] Migrate custom index template. A custom index page template configured by administrators or resellers is migrated.
[*] Phone numbers with slashes are migrated, but the slashes are removed during migration.
[*] The HTTPD specials added in the advanced mode are migrated as well. They are fully commented out after migration.

This Parallels Plesk Panel update includes the following changes.
[+] IPv6 support. Parallels Plesk Panel now supports operations on IPv6 addresses (DNS, web hosting, mail, FTP and all other services). Administrators and resellers can offer service plans on IPv4, IPv6, or dual-stack subscriptions (one IPv4 + one IPv6 address).
The limitations of this new feature are as follows:
To learn more, see Administrator's Guide, the section Configuring Server IP Pool.
[+] (Only for Linux) SNI support. Panel for Linux allows using different SSL certificates for sites hosted on the same shared IP address. To achieve this, we added support for the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension to the Transport Layer Security protocol. This feature is available on the following operating systems:
Learn more about SNI in Administrator's Guide, the section Hosting Multiple SSL Sites on a Single IP Address (Linux Hosting).
[+] My webspaces in Server Administration Panel. Now it is easier for administrators to create own hosting accounts - so-called webspaces - with the Panels that also serve hosting customers and resellers. Panel lets administrators to run webspaces in Power User mode whereas operations over service plans and subscriptions remain in Server Administration Panel. Learn more about this mode in Administrator's Guide, section Switching to My Webspaces.
[+] Migration from Confixx and Parallels Pro Control Panel (Ensim Pro) Panel now supports migration of data from servers running Confixx and Parallels Pro Control Panel (formerly known as Ensim Pro). To learn more about migration specifics and limitations, refer to the corresponding sections (Confixx and Ensim Pro).
[+] Power User mode before initialization. Panel is capable of switching to Power User mode instantly after deployment whereas previously the mode choice was available only after the Panel initialization. This helps providers offer Power User mode directly with no input from customers. Read more in Deployment Guide, section Consider Switching to Power User Mode.
[+] (Only for Linux) Indication of installation/upgrade failures. If Panel fails to operate after installation or upgrade, it displays a special web page.
[+] (Only for Linux) Encrypted password in /etc/psa/.psa.shadow. The file .psa.shadow no longer contains the administrator's password in the plain-text format. Instead, this file contains an encrypted hash of the password. This improves the security level and prevents attempts to gain the administrative access to Panel by stealing the password.
This change does not anyhow affect typical commands that used the password. For example, you are free to run "mysql –uadmin –p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` psa". In case you wish to obtain the plain-text password, use the "/usr/local/psa/bin/admin --show-password" call.
[+] (Only for Linux) New unified installation and upgrade log. With this log, it is easier to troubleshoot system failures during installation or upgrade. If you use Parallels Installer, all log messages are stored in files /tmp/plesk_10.2.0_installation.log and /tmp/sitebuilder_5.2.0_installation.log. Error messages are available in files /tmp/plesk_10.2.0_installation_problems.log and /tmp/sitebuilder_5.2.0_installation_problems.log. The full log of Parallels Installer work is available at /tmp/autoinstaller3.log.
[+] Customer account without subscription. One of the typical cases is when a customer account is created to transfer subscriptions from other accounts. Now you can skip the time-consuming step of creating subscriptions for such accounts and instantly start transferring from other accounts. Learn more in Administrator's Guide, section Subscribing to Hosting Services.
[+] (Only for Linux) Adaptive restart interval for Apache. Previously, Apache restarted on each reconfiguration of web settings. Now administrators can set the web server to restart periodically. The configuration updates in this case will be accumulated and applied after the next restart. The new option is available on the Settings > Server Settings page.
[+] Get events by class and type through API RPC. The new API RPC protocol version supports fetching events by class and type. For more details, see the respective request packet structure.
[+] New Panel branding themes. Administrators can change the look and feel of Panel by downloading and installing branding themes (former skins). The themes are available at http://www.parallels.com/products/plesk/themes/.
[+] Support for new operating system versions. The following operating system versions are now supported:
RedHat Enterprise Linux 6
Debian GNU Linux 6
OpenSUSE 11.4
[+] Support for new browsers. Parallels Plesk Panel, SiteBuilder and Customer&Business Manager are compatible with Google Chrome 10, MS Internet Explorer 9, and Mozilla Firefox 4.
[+] Migration of SSL certificates. Now Plesk Migration Manager (PMM) correctly migrates SSL certificates.
[*] We improved readability of backup, restoration and migration reports. For easier troubleshooting, such reports are now output in human-readable format.
[*] On completion of the password retrieval procedure, Parallels Plesk Panel notifies about sending of password by e-mail.
[*] To facilitate the process of customizing Panel appearance with custom skins, the custom.css style sheet was added to all pages of Server Administration Panel.
[*] Error handling is improved in Settings > Mail Settings > White List in cases when administrator tries to add two entries with the same IP address.
[*] The loading time of page Tools & Utilities > IP Addresses is improved for servers with a lot of IP addresses (say, 500+).
[*] The pre9-backup-convert utility now automatically repairs invalid XML files: Fixes redundant tags (like <server>, <sa_confs> and <sa_conf>) and empty values in parameters (say, empty "enabled" attribute in <mailuser><properties><redirect> tag) in Plesk 8 backup dump.
[*] The "Domains" limit for resellers now defines the total of sites a reseller and their customers can own (previously, it applied only to sites of customers).
[*] The init_conf utility now supports the parameter –license_agreed to show or hide EULA (license agreement) during the initial configuration. Learn more about this utility in Command Line Reference(for Microsoft Windows or for Linux).

[*] Improvement: The page for adding new TLDs now suggests a list of top-level domains supported by selected registrar.
[-] Issue resolved: Customers failed to pay through Control Panel an invoice via third-party gateway (like PayPal) and encountered the error "Payment Error: Order form #1 'Français #1' has not primary and Bank Transfer payment gateway assigned" when no primary or bank transfer gateway was attached to the online store.
[-] Issue resolved: Because of improper database clean-up after service plan removal, administrator failed to sync with Panel (Server groups > PleskUnix > Sync All) and encountered the error "Error Message : 'Invalid attribute name: Product::$product_addon_group_id'".
[-] Issue resolved: Because of wrong permissions for the default log file, administrator failed to upload a new logo for PDF invoices using "PDF Invoice Customization” menu and encountered the error "Error Message: 'failed copy file: 'Constant ALLOW_DEBUG_LOGGING already defined'".
[-] Issue resolved: Customer and Business Manager ignored WHOIS settings for all preinstalled TLDs.
[-] Issue resolved: A customer was able to register, transfer, and use the same domain name in online store multiple times.
[-] Issue resolved: Non-synchronizable service plans were marked as synced before the first execution of syncing process.
[-] Issue resolved: Coupon data containing special characters (like "<") could not be properly retrieved from the database.
[-] Issue resolved: Customer and Business Manager always provisioned subscriptions to the one server in server group ignoring the "Fill type" setting. Attempt to sync provisioned subscriptions failed with error "The following errors occurred during sync the selected subscriptions: Failed to sync subscription #XX: Failed to repair the subscription in panel #YY: pleskunix: domain does not exist. Please resolve the problems manually and retry to sync again."
[-] Issue resolved: Because of inconsistent database values, a customer failed to access subscriptions or invoices through native CBM Client Panel after upgrade from 7.0.x. The following error occurred: "Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0".

[+] Page URL modification (page slugs). SiteBuilder generates SEO-friendly website page URLs for all pages and allows users to modify these URLs.
[+] Links to own website pages. Users can quickly and conveniently create links to different pages of their own website.
[+] Embedded video module. SiteBuilder adds the Embedded Video module and supports usage of video URLs instead of embedded code for popular services like YouTube.
[+] Images as backgrounds. Users can upload their own images as a background of any part of their website.
[+] Transparent backgrounds. It is now possible to make the background of any website part completely transparent.
[+] Social Sharing module. Users can add Social Sharing module to their website, so that website visitors can share pages they like on social services like Facebook, Twitter and so on.
[+] Website snapshots. Every single action in SiteBuilder is immediately applied and saved, so if users are afraid of losing some data when removing modules or experimenting with website design, they can save current website state as a snapshot and revert to it at any time later.
[*] SiteBuilder over HTTP SiteBuilder operates over HTTP and occupies the 8880 port rather than the HTTPS port as before. It does not undermine security (since no sensitive data is passed to the application), but increases the convenience of using SiteBuilder in conjunction with the "Social Sharing" module.
[-] Issue resolved: During upgrade of SiteBuilder, some sites could not be upgraded, which made them non-editable in SiteBuilder.
[-] Issue resolved: Link editor incorrectly saved links to web pages.
[-] Issue resolved: Validation of CAPTCHA in contact forms always failed on the first attempt.
