Greetings,

XtendWeb version 4.5-18 and  nginx-1.15.1 now available 

Upgrade instruction

#######################################

Minimum requirement : cPanel version 72.0.7 or above . Do not upgrade XtendWeb if your cPanel version is lower as this version needs SSL/AutoSSL hooks available only in version 72.0.7 or above . RELEASE/CURRENT channel is fine. STABLE version is still on v70.0.51. So if you are on STABLE channel ,defer upgrading XtendWeb 

yum --enablerepo=ndeploy upgrade nDeploy nginx-nDeploy*

systemctl daemon-reload

/opt/nDeploy/scripts/attempt_autofix.sh

/opt/nDeploy/scripts/nginx_upgrade_inplace.sh  # do service nginx restart if in-place upgrade fails

Whats new?

1. XtendWeb now uses cPanel SSL/AutoSSL hooks to correctly generate TLS configuration. https://blog.cpanel.com/new-ssl-standard-hooks-for-cpanel-whm-integrators/  . Because the hook does not trigger on certificate delete/uninstall .It is highly recommended to enable the following setting in Tweak settings

3. The latest release of Nginx mainline and other modules for the Nginx binary build
