Just a heads up to server-people, that cPanel v11 is going to be released over the next few days. They've got a completely new look and feel for it, as well as some major upgrades people have been waiting ages for. In particular, they now fully support apache 2 and apache 2.2, and it comes with the easyapache3 script for managing the install.

Another notable feature that is going to be interesting for many clients is the ability to setup a "web disk" that you can simply treat as a regular drive on your computer, with the difference being, it's directly linked to your web space.

While talking about software, winSCP have had their beta version 4 up for several weeks now, and it also has some very nice features and changes added.

It now uses non-intrusive balloon style popups for messages, and a lot of the disconnection popup window bugs have been fixed! More importantly however, it now includes the ability to use standard FTP. Even though it's rare, I still seem to have to connect to FTP sites every now and then... filezilla does the job well from a technical point of view, but winSCP's interface and the ability to have -everything- all in one program for file transfers is a great move forward.

Update 2nd May, 2007: Another very important item to take note of in cPanel 11, is that it now will have full support for Ruby and Rails - and make it very easy to install/manage gems, can't wait!
