Plesk Obsidian 18.0.67 Has Arrived!

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.67 is now available, bringing exciting new features and updates. Ready to explore some of the main highlights of the upgrade? Read on below!

Panel and Hosting Improvements

PHP Hosting 

Experience faster load times and improved server performance with PHP 8.4, now available for websites hosted on Plesk server out of the box! Learn more about how to install PHP 8.4 using Plesk Installer in our guide

As per UserVoice request, AVIF, one of the most commonly used image formats on the web is now supported by PHP from Plesk on Linux. It provides high compression rates and efficient performance. 

However, please note that PHP 8.4 and AVIF support are not available on CentOS 7 and CloudLinux 7.  

Panel Updates 

As per UserVoice request, you can now secure the mail service with a separate SAN on domains with the “No Hosting” type using the SSL It! extension.  

Atomic rulesets for ModSecurity can now be selected on all Linux OSes, including the most modern ones, such as Debian 11 and later, and Ubuntu 20.04 and later. 

You can now create your ideal color scheme and font design in seconds with AI-powered recommendations in the Sitejet Builder extension

Furthermore, Plesk for Linux has switched Roundcube to PHP 8.3. 

Feature Improvements 

The UX of Plesk UI notifications has been improved:  

  • Notifications are now grouped according to their type, e.g., those that belong to particular extensions or events are grouped together. 
  • A notification group is displayed on one line. You can expand the group and see all its extensions by clicking “Show more”. To collapse the group, simply click “Show less”. 
  • You can dismiss the whole group of notifications with a single click on the “Remove” icon. 
  • You can mark a group of notifications as a favorite and then use the “Favorites” filter. 
  • A notification group will inherit its title and description from the most recent notification in the group. 
  • If one group is expanded, an attempt to open another group will automatically collapse the first group before the second one is opened. 

To help you customize your Home dashboard in Service Provider View, we have developed an example extension called Custom Dashboard. With this extension, you can learn the ropes of customizing the dashboard even if you’re not proficient in coding. You can install the extension from the GitHub repository, follow code-along exercises, and see how that shapes your Home dashboard.

Deployment changes

With Plesk for Linux, the ImunifyAV extension is now deprecated and no longer available for installation. Instead, we recommend that you use the new and improved Imunify extension. 
 
Existing ImunifyAV installations will continue operating for three months, and after that will automatically be replaced with the new Imunify extension. We recommend that you manually replace any existing ImunifyAV installations with Imunify at your earliest convenience. 
 
Also, with Plesk for Linux, the Watchdog component has been converted to an extension to make it easier to update and implement new features in the future. Updating a Plesk server with the Watchdog component installed to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.67 will seamlessly replace it with the new extension. 

Stability

With Plesk Obsidian 18.0.67, we have implemented dozens of bug fixes based on our customers’ reports.
