Changelog

Below you can see the 5 most recent changes to Uberspace 7. For older changes, please refer to the Changelog Archive.

Note

Sometimes the version shown on your host may be higher than the newest version here. In this case we might have applied additional fixes shortly after a release or did internal changes without user impact. We deem updates like these hotfixes and they are not necessarily included in this changelog.


[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).

Added

Deprecations

  • We decided not to deprecate PHP 7.4 just yet. To detect possible problems we just switched all users still on 7.4 to version 8. You can manually change the version back with uberspace tools version use php 7.4.

Removed

  • MongoDB 4.0

  • Ruby 2.5

  • Ruby 2.6


[7.14.1] - 2022-11-29

Changed

  • In preparation for the pending deprecation of PHP 7.4 (probably in the next Uberspace release, scheduled for December), we set the PHP version for everyone running 7.4 to 8.0. Until we roll out the deprecation you can still move back manually, (i.e. to fix things and prepare for the version update).


[7.14] - 2022-11-21

Added

  • Erlang/OTP version 25.

  • Ruby version 3.1.

  • MongoDB 6.

  • Development files for lua 5.3.

  • New tools: cmake3, gojq, gum, ldapvi, oauthtool, pdftk, s3cmd, usql.

Changed

  • We disabled the penalty system in Dovecot, which should result in faster SMTP AUTH connection times.

  • If a user service is missing a startsecs setting, we add startsecs=30, to prevent endless loops, caused by broken services.

  • rust-analyser is now part of the “user versioned tools”, meaning you can run it, without using the full path to the executeable.

  • Updated htop to 3.2.

  • The default PHP version was increased to 8.1.

Deprecated

  • The Rust language server rls is deprecated (but the rust-analyser is availabel).

  • Ruby 2.5 and 2.6.
