==Release Notes==

<div class="docs-alert-success">''' New PHP Version Requirements''' WHMCS 7.0 requires PHP 5.6 or later. If you are running any versions earlier than PHP 5.6, you must upgrade PHP before attempting to upgrade to WHMCS 7.0. WHMCS 7.0 also requires ionCube Loader v5.0.21 or later.</div>

*'''Version 7.0.0 System Requirements:''' ''WHMCS v7 minimum system requirements are PHP 5.6 and stable IonCube Loader 5.0.21 or later. WHMCS v7 also supports PHP 7 - in order to ensure complete compatibility, please install the latest Ioncube loader 6.0.2 or later.

* '''[[Automatic Updater]]''' - WHMCS 7.0 is the last update you will ever need to download! WHMCS 7.0 includes an Auto Update utility which allows you to install updates to WHMCS with just a few clicks. Built on the proven core of Composer, the WHMCS Auto Updater downloads, verifies, unpacks and performs database upgrades for WHMCS. The Auto Updater checks for updates as part of your system cron, and will provide administrators with alerts letting them know when a new release is available. [[Automatic Updater|Check our full article for more information and system requirements]].

* '''Domain Checker Improvements''' - The domain checker has been integrated into the shopping cart, and along with the new domain lookup functionality introduced in WHMCS 7.0 including spotlight TLDs and sale groups, is designed to offer a more streamlined and consistent domain lookup and purchase experience for end users. The domain checker file remains in place to provide redirects that will automatically redirect most previous domain checker based requests and form submissions to the new cart based domain lookup. The bulk domain check and bulk domain transfer facilities within the client area have been removed in 7.0. The new domain lookup functionality provided within the shopping cart in 7.0 is intended to deliver a more intuitive and optimised user experience for searching for and adding multiple domains to the shopping cart.

* '''System Cron Update''' - WHMCS 7.0 introduces a new scheduling system that allows WHMCS the flexibility to perform automated tasks at intervals of less than every 24 hours.
<div class="docs-alert-warning">''' Action Required''' We recommend updating your configured system cron (cron.php) to run every 5 minutes or as frequently as your web hosting provider allows. [[Cron_Tasks#System_Cron_Frequency|Learn more…]]</div>
* '''Ticket Feedback per Department''' - In WHMCS 7.0, you can now enable the email request for a user to provide feedback for their support ticket experience on a per department basis. Previously this was a global option that applied to all departments within the General Settings. On upgrade, if you have the Ticket Feedback feature enabled, it will be enabled by default for all existing departments. If you do not have it enabled, it will not be enabled for any departments automatically.

* '''WHOIS Servers, Countries and Additional Domain Fields Overrides''' - WHMCS 7.0 introduces override capabilities to additional domain fields, whois servers and countries. These have been introduced to provide an easy way for customisations to these files to be maintained during automatic updates. In addition, the location and format used for some of these files has changed.
<div class="docs-alert-info">''' Important Note''' If you have previously made customisations to whois servers, additional domain fields or countries and calling codes files, you will need to migrate your customisations to the new file locations and/or file formats. For more information please refer to the following documentation pages:
*http://docs.whmcs.com/Additional_Domain_Fields
*http://docs.whmcs.com/WHOIS_Servers
*http://docs.whmcs.com/Customising_Countries_and_Calling_Codes
</div>

* '''SSL Changes''' - The System URL and System SSL URL fields have been combined in WHMCS 7.0 to a single field. It is recommended that an SSL enabled URL be provided for the System URL at all times. When SSL is available, it will now be used for all requests, both admin and client side. If a System SSL URL was defined prior to upgrade, this value will be preserved and used for the System URL.

* '''DuoSecurity''' - WHMCS 7.0 allows users of DuoSecurity to configure their own DuoSecurity Account Credentials. This makes DuoSecurity accessible to everyone and allows users to take advantage of the up to [http://go.whmcs.com/918/duo-security-signup 10 free users offered by Duo].
<div class="docs-alert-warning">''' Information''' For any existing users subscribing to DuoSecurity through us, we will be reaching out to you shortly regarding migrating your subscriptions. [[Duo_Security#WHMCS_DuoSecurity_Account_Migration|Learn more…]]</div>

* '''Session Changes''' - In addition to the above, when SSL is available, session cookies will now have the secure flag set (CORE-10037) in accordance with PCI-DSSv3.1 requirements. This results in session data only being accessible via an SSL connection.

* '''Removal of Client Dropdown Format setting''' -As of WHMCS 7.0, the Client Dropdown Format setting has been removed. In WHMCS 6.2 we introduced an improved client navigation experience using a combo box that provides a dropdown supporting text entry to filter the list of available clients to navigate to. The new dynamic dropdown displays clients names, company names and email addresses at all times and so this setting is no longer utilised.

* '''Deprecation of Five Theme''' - With the release of WHMCS 7.0, we will no longer be shipping the "Five" client area theme (previously named "default" in WHMCS V5.x). Current installations of WHMCS will not have the "Five" theme removed, but this theme will not receive any further updates. While this theme will no longer be shipped or maintained, for users who are using it or have a custom theme based on it, it will continue to work but we offer no guarantee of compatibility with future releases. We strongly recommend that all new custom themes and templates are built based off the "Six" theme in order to take full advantage of the latest improvements and new functionality. Detailed information about the "Six" theme is available in our documentation at [[Customising the Six Theme]].

* '''[[Smarty Security Policy|Smarty Security Policy Update]]''' - WHMCS 7.0 introduces support for Smarty Security Policies. The default policies are to allow all PHP functionality in system templates but only a restricted predefined list of functions and modifiers in email templates. For most use cases, these policies will not need to be modified. [[Smarty Security Policy|Learn more at Public Documentation for End Users]].

*'''[[Template_Syntax|Template Security Adjustments]]''' - Introduced in Version 7, if your template invokes & includes a PHP script by using the Smarty {include_php} syntax, the full path to the directory containing that script will need to be whitelisted in the 'trusted_dir' setting of your Policy.

* '''Removal of Browser Tool''' - Previous versions of WHMCS contained a tool named "Browser" located under the Utilities menu. As of WHMCS 7.0, this utility has been removed. If you used this functionality to share a list of URLs with your staff, we recommend you instead create a set of bookmarks in your browser that can be exported and imported. For example, see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/export-firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer

* '''Deprecation of InternetSecure Payment Processor''' - The InternetSecure payment processor service is being discontinued on August 31, 2016. As a result, we will no longer shipping the InternetSecure module. For existing installations, the module will not be removed, however users are recommended to find an alternative payment processor before that time. For a full list of payment gateway options, navigate to ''Setup > Payment Gateways'' within your WHMCS installation.

* '''jQuery UI Library Update''' - The version of the jQuery UI library we ship with WHMCS has been updated from v1.11.2 to v1.11.4. As part of that update, we removed the tooltip functionality to resolve a compatibility issue with Bootstrap tooltips. If you were previously using jQuery UI tooltips, we recommend replacing it with the Bootstrap tooltip functionality should it be required in any custom code.

* '''WHMCS Core Library move to vendor directory''' - WHMCS uses the Composer dependency management system for PHP to maintain our included libraries. These libraries can be found as subdirectories within the /vendor/ directory of a WHMCS installation. As of WHMCS 7.0, the core WHMCS PHP library is now also located in the /vendor/ directory similar to other Composer libraries. Previously these files would have been located in /includes/classes/WHMCS/.
<div class="docs-alert-info">''' Information''' We do not recommend nor support placing your own classes within the WHMCS namespace. WHMCS assumes full authority of the WHMCS namespace and classes directories and offer no guarantees that files you place there will not be overwritten or removed. The update process for version 7.0 will not remove any files in the historic location /includes/classes/ and will leave them untouched.</div>

* '''Dependency Updates''' - Our dependencies were updated to take advantage of the best and most modern features that are available. The Illuminate dependencies provided by Laravel, which form the basis of our Database ORM layer, reflect major changes to how these packages deal with objects. The Symfony dependencies were updated to allow easier access and manipulation native structural components. The latest version of PHPseclib added more IPv6 support, as well as included minor bug fixes. Below is a complete list of dependencies updated and removed in Version 7:

Version 7.0 Release Notes

2016-10-14T14:27:00Z

Cole: /* Version History */

2016-08-05T20:28:01Z

Cole: /* Checking for Updates */

== Requirements ==

*The Automatic Updater requires at least 250 MB of free disk space
*The Automatic Updater requires PHP setting allow_url_fopen = true
*The Automatic Updater requires PHP setting open_basedir to include entire WHMCS docroot
*The Automatic Updater can take a few minutes, so you'll need to ensure that you allow long running php processes in your webserver
*The Automatic Updater will be extracting a .zip file. Therefore you must have enabled zip in your PHP binary or have the proc_open PHP function enabled.

== Checking for Updates ==

Introduced in WHMCS 7.0.0, the Automatic Updater provides admins with a quick and easy way to update to new versions of WHMCS with just a few clicks in the admin area interface. The system will check for new updates on each cron run. Upon logging into the WHMCS admin area, a notification will appear in the top right corner of admin area. This alert will let the admin know if a new version of WHMCS is available, or if the version of WHMCS that is currently installed is the latest version. Below are examples of what these notifications look like:

[[File:UpdateAvailableNotification.png|center]]

Admins can also manually check for updates by navigating to the Utilities top menu in the admin area interface and select Update WHMCS.

[[File:WHMCSUpdateMenu.png|center]]

Once selected, the admin will be asked to confirm their password, as only admin users that have the "Update WHMCS" admin role will be able to access the updater.

Once in the Automatic Update interface, admins can tell at a glance what version of WHMCS that is installed, as well as check for updates using the Check for Updates button.

[[File:NoNewUpdatesAreAvailable.png|center]]

[[File:UpdateAvailableNotice.png|center]]

By clicking Check for Updates, the version indicated in Your Version on the left side of the version summary will stay the same, but the information presented in the Latest Version on the right side of the version summary may be updated depending if a new update is available. It should also be noted that the Check Now button also indicates the last time an update check was performed. If a new version is available for upgrade, admins can then begin the update process by clicking the Update Now button.

[[File:UpdateAvailable.png|center]]

== Configuring Your Update Settings ==

The Automatic Updater also presents admins with the ability to configure update settings such as choosing an update channel, setting a temporary update path, and setting an update maintenance message for customers. Note that accessing the update configuration page requires "Modify Update Configuration" administrator role, which is separate from "Update WHMCS" role.

=== Choosing an Upgrade Channel ===

The automatic updater provides admins with the ability to set the release stability that they are comfortable receiving. Admins will be able to select from the following channels:

<table class="table table-striped">
<tr>
<td>'''Channel'''</td>
<td>'''Description'''</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Stable</td>
<td>Recommended for most installations of WHMCS, the Stable channel will present admins with the latest stable version that has been released by WHMCS.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Release Candidate</td>
<td>Admins subscribed to the Release Candidate will be able to upgrade to the latest Release Candidate builds of WHMCS, or the latest stable version of WHMCS - whichever is newer. This means if WHMCS is upgraded to 7.0.0-rc.1, when 7.0.0-GA is released, the admin will be prompted to upgrade to the general availability that was just released.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Beta</td>
<td>Admins subscribed to the Beta release channel will be able to download the newest beta, release candidates, and stable versions of WHMCS. This is for testing installations, as it will allow admins to update to the latest WHMCS (beta, rc, or stable). WHMCS recommends development licenses use this channel.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Current Version</td>
<td>By selecting this channel, admins are electing to only receive maintenance updates for the major/minor version they are on. For example if the installed version of WHMCS is running 7.0.0-GA, admins will be offered 7.0.1-GA, but not 7.1.0. This channel is useful if the installed version of WHMCS has a number of 3rd party modules and customizations that need to be tested before upgrading to a new production release.</td>
</tr>
</table>

=== Setting a Temporary Update Path ===

The temporary path is used for staging files during an update. For security reasons it is recommended that this directory be located outside the public doc root, just like the attachments, templates_c, and downloads directories. The path must be an absolute path (i.e. /home/whmcsuser/tmp instead of ~/tmp) and must be writable by the admin that is running PHP.

=== Setting a Maintenance Message ===

Admins can use this option to set a message that will be displayed to users in the client area whenever an update is in progress, as the client and admin areas will be unavailable during an update.

[[File:Configureupdatesettings.png|center]]

== Performing an Update ==

=== Beginning the Update Process ===

Once the update configuration options have been set, admins can begin the update process. Before the update process begins, WHMCS strongly recommends that admins backup their current installation and database. WHMCS also recommends that at least 250 MB of disk space is available before beginning the update process. Once comfortable with the available disk space and backups have been made to the current installation and database, the admin can start the update by clicking the Continue button.

[[File:Modal-update.png|center]]

=== Checking for Custom Files ===
The next step in the upgrade process checks the current installation for customized files, such as template files, language translations, whois server entries, and additional domain fields. It's important to review these files, as just like in previous updates, any update applied to the installation of WHMCS will override any custom changes. Before continuing to the next step in the upgrade process, it is wise to backup any customized files in order to quickly apply them again after the update has been complete. WHMCS has also included changes to how admins can customize the additional domain fields, country / calling codes, and whois server entries so that admins can preserve changes between updates. To view this documentation, please refer to following documentation pages:

*[http://docs.whmcs.com/Customising_Countries_and_Calling_Codes/ Customized Countries and Calling Codes]
*[http://docs.whmcs.com/WHOIS_Servers/ WHOIS Servers]
*[http://docs.whmcs.com/Additional_Domain_Fields/ Additional Domain Fields]

[[File:UpdateNowCustomisedFiles.png|center]]

=== Starting the Update ===

Once an admin is comfortable with the status of their custom files, the next step in the update process is to start the update itself. It's important to note that this third step is the point of no return - one the update has started, there is no pausing or stopping the process, and it is strongly recommended that admins stay on this page and do not navigate away using their browser. When ready to begin, click the Update Now button.

[[File:UpdateNowBegin.png|center]]

=== Finalizing the Update ===

The final step of the update process is confirmation that the update has been completed. The system will present the admin with an Update Completed message, along with a link to the current version's release notes.
