 * '''[[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]].

 * '''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]].

 * '''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">'''<i class="fa fa-warning fa-fw"></i> Action Required'''<br>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.
