According to the company, due to the
extensive amount of changes to the cPanel and WHM code
base, cPanel will be releasing the upgrade in multiple
stages. The first stages will contain the majority of
the new features and code, including the new domain
owner interface. This first stage is currently available
in the CURRENT branch and can be downloaded by running
/scripts/upcp on the CLI or 'Upgrade to Latest Version'
in WHM. The later updates will be smaller and more
focused, including such features as Apache 2.0.x and
2.2.x support. It is recommended to maintain your
current upgrade branch to ensure a smooth transition to
cPanel 11.
Dave Koston, Operations Manager at
cPanel remarked, ''This update is our most massive
update ever. We've decided to release in multiple parts
to make it an easy transition for our customers as most
are using a code base that is quite different from that
of cPanel 11. This staggered release will allow us to
provide hands on assistance for our upgrading customers
and make the upgrade process relatively
elementary.''
