WHMCS V2.5.8 is here!

This new release has a large number of new features and bug fixes. Everyone should update to this release to ensure a trouble free operation of WHMCS. Just some of the new features in this release are described in detail below.

DirectAdmin Support - Create, Suspend, Unsuspend and Terminate Accounts on your DirectAdmin Web Servers
Credits System - Clients can now be given credit on their account which is automatically applied to new invoices when generated
EEP Transfer Secret Support Added - Support for the new transfer secret required by .com, .net, .info, .org, .mobi added to order process and domain registrar modules
Admin Open Tickets - Now an admin can open a ticket with a client rather than sending an email to provide easy tracking via the ticket system
Gateways per Product Group - you can now select gateways to appear only on selected product groups
Overdue Invoice Reminder Email - an email will now be sent when an invoice becomes overdue to the client - this can be used to warn of the upcoming late fee additions
New Reports - Daily Performance & Top 10 Clients by Invoice Payments
New Extensions Added - Domain Availability Checker now supports .mobi and .eu
Batch Invoice Actions - You can now perform operations on multiple invoices at once such as marking them all paid or sending reminders
Grace Period for Late Fee - you can now specify the number of days after the due payment date that the late fee will be added
Invoice Receipts for PayPal Subscriptions - you can now have invoices generated on receipt of PayPal Subscription payments to act as receipts for any PayPal Subscriptions you receive
Pay Invoice by Email - Clients can now pay invoices without even needing to login to the client area - you can send a Pay Now button or payment instructions along with the invoice
Disk & Bandwidth Usage Updated - The Disk Space & Bandwidth Usage routines have been updated to work with WHM 10.8.x and Cpanel 10.9.x
So, where can I download it? You can download the latest WHMCS Version from your client area. You can login at the following link: www.whmcs.com/clients/client_login.php

Once logged in, go to View Licenses > View & Download > and then you will see the WHMCS V2.5.8 Zip File available for download. There is only one distribution which you should download for both new installations and upgrades. Follow the instructions in the README file for Installing or Upgrading your system.

If you experience any problems while upgrading please let us know immediately by opening a support ticket (https://support.whmcs.com/submitticket.php) so we can resolve the issue as soon as possible.
