[7.15.1] - 2023-04-05¶
Since yesterday a little release slipped through our fingers onto the servers, beside the final removement of PHP7.4 there are some minor additions to your Asteroids.
Because our main focus now lies on the development of the next Uberspace generation, our release cycle in U7 could evolve to a more frequent but smaller feature set. We’ll see how it all comes together in the coming period.
PHP 7.4 removal¶
We have now removed the outdated PHP 7.4 version from our servers. All users who reverted to version 8.0 after the deprecation period have now been permanently migrated.
MariaDB updates¶
The MariaDB updates we implemented within the last weeks on all hosts are finished now and all instances were updated to version 10.6.
Changed¶

the nice editor
ne
is now availablekitty
terminals should now work since we added the necessary terminfo mail-filterswe changed the backup time for mysql databases from
02:00

[7.15] - 2023-01-23¶
DKIM¶
We now create a DKIM key for your account, which you can use with all your mail
domains. You get the neccesary information for your DNS
records when adding a new domain, or via the new uberspace records list
command. You can check our Spam protection article
for some additional information.
PHP 7.4¶
PHP 7.4
has reached its end of life last year. This means we will eventually
remove it. And you should switch to an officially supported version as soon as
possible (e.g. 8.0
, 8.1
or 8.2
).
