I'm starting this thread to see what your thoughts/concerns/issues are with this release?

Apparently this is the last release that needs to be downloaded, about time!

    Order form template replacements, I'd love to hear their idea there. I'm sick of reinstalling my stripe module all the time. I'd be really pissed if I just woke up to it failing at random.

    I think its about time they came out with an auto update system.

  • I wish I had a owned license for whmcs too(mainly because it is cheaper to pay once and not again but with whmcs owned license prices that would be very hard) as I tried my onrahost whmcs license and it said invalid so I am not sure what else to try to get access to the beta.

    Didn't 6.0 come out less than a year ago?

    Pretty simple: they want funds - i'm not seeing anything worthy of releasing a new major version to be really honest with you.

    For all those owned license holders it means more money to upgrade from v6 to v7.

    I don't think you'll wake up to a broken installation due to that, as per what they say hte updates are 'click away' suggesting it will be easy from the UI, but not cron based, forceful updates.

    WHMCS Auto Updater - In WHMCS 7.0, updates are just a click away. A subtle new update notification will let you know whenever an update is available, wherever you are in the admin area, and when clicked will take you to the all new Automatic Update interface that lets you update WHMCS without ever leaving the WHMCS admin interface.

    Coming soon in 2017..... WHMCS v18.0 released

    I want support for load balancing in the license. They need to make this happen.

  • qpsqps Member, Host Rep

    How about support for dual stack IPv4/IPv6 in the license without opening a ticket? Seems like this should be pretty basic in 2016.

    Also maybe fix the issues with the ticketing system that have been around since the 6.2 release (including with the mobile apps)?!

    What do you mean? That if the server has multiple IPs, WHMCS works only when contacted on one of them? This can be easily solved with DNAT.

  • BharatBBharatB Member, Patron Provider

    @jarland there is a solution to that will pm you shortly as others could misuse it.

    We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of WHMCS 7.0 Beta 1.

    What's New in WHMCS 7.0?

    WHMCS Auto Updater - In WHMCS 7.0, updates are just a click away. A subtle new update notification will let you know whenever an update is available, wherever you are in the admin area, and when clicked will take you to the all new Automatic Update interface that lets you update WHMCS without ever leaving the WHMCS admin interface.

    Coupled with the updater are new, easier ways to customise WHOIS Servers, countries and additional domain fields in a way that can be safely maintained through automatic updates.

    Spotlight TLDs - Highlight your best selling TLDs and extensions. Proven to increase sales and conversions, now you can select up to 8 of your top selling extensions for display at the top of a new domain lookup experience for customers. Sale groups also allow you to highlight extensions that are New, Hot and on Sale, giving them increased visibility and prominence.

    A new, improved and streamlined interface for initiating domain transfers rounds out the domain lookup and purchase area improvements.

    PayPal Integration Optimisations - Reducing the number of steps required by end users to complete checkout, now users email addresses will be pre-filled in the PayPal login form along with itemised purchase details being displayed in the PayPal Checkout Experience to minimise buyer uncertainty and increase confidence.

    Simple Product Configuration - The new, simpler way to configure products. Supporting cPanel, DirectAdmin and Plesk, and open to module developers to begin implementing today, simple product configuration allows module developers to provide a simpler and more streamlined user experience for users configuring module parameters by offering a simple mode with support for dynamic fetching of values from a remote service. Now configuring a package is as simple as choosing the desired package name from a dropdown of choices.

    Quick Start Setup Wizard - For new users, there's a brand new wizard based experience the first time they login that makes getting up and running with WHMCS simpler, more intuitive, and quicker than ever before. Be ready to begin selling and making money in minutes with WHMCS 7.0.

    PHP 7.0 Compatibility - With PHP 5.6 and 7.0 compatibility, WHMCS 7.0 can be run on the latest versions of PHP to deliver maximum performance. As announced previously, WHMCS 7.0 will require PHP 5.6 as a minimum and we are working closely with some of our leading hosting partners to ensure that their systems are ready for WHMCS 7.0. In addition, while Ioncube loaders for PHP 7 remain in beta at this time, we do have open dialog ongoing with Ioncube and are working with them testing and reporting our findings. We join everyone in the PHP community in looking forward to seeing stable loaders for PHP 7.0 as soon as is feasible.

    Basically I want it to work on two separate servers with different IPs. Then just have the two in sync (need fast, low latency of course). License is really the only thing that I'm not sure how to work around.

    I have been doing some custom development stuff on v6 and I have been fairly impressed with the support I have been getting. Very technical stuff and they have been pretty good at getting answers for me.

    Not too crazy about hearing about v7 already. Upgrading to v6 was a huge PiTA. If the main point is improving updating it would probably be worth it though. It's pretty ugly right now. Especially when there are template updates.

    Gave up. Reverted my installation to 6.0, despite the bugs.

    I'm thinking about switching to Hostbill (lifetime). At least it's stable - I don't have to update every month because each update is a new cycle.

    (updating removes bugs, but also adds new ones) :(

    I don't know why they keep changing the template variables though. It's 1) pointless and 2) like you said, a pain in the ass.

  • Looking forward to the PayPal improvements.
