==Release Notes==

* '''Updater Enhancements''' - New functionality has been added to the Automatic Update utility that will validate the version of ionCube Loader installed prior to allowing an update to take place. This additional pre-flight check will ensure that ionCube Loader requirements for available new versions of the product are met prior to the files being fetched and unpacked. This extra check is necessary to provide a release of WHMCS that is compatible with PHP 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2, where a newer version of ionCube encoder/loader is required. We have worked closely with cPanel to expedite the latest 10.1.0 Loader to all cPanel systems. cPanel users of the Loader 10 series should have already been automatically updated without any additional steps. For others, this Updater check will avoid downtime for an installation due to Loader incompatibility and you can update your Loader prior to applying the WHMCS 7.5 update. With these changes in place, if the current environment's ionCube Loader minimum requirement is met then the Updater will present update options as usual. If the minimum ionCube Loader requirement is not met then the update process will not be allowed to proceed and an informative message with a help link will be provided. As a result of these changes, when 7.5 becomes available it will be required to first update to 7.4.2 so that your system can be checked for suitability with the 7.5.0 update.
