Axigen iX (9.0.0) Release Notes

We are pleased to announce that we have just released the new major version Axigen iX.

This version introduces an important number of enhancements and bug fixes, thus allowing us to provide our end customers with a more stable & secure product.

To see all that's new in iX, please consult the detailed list below.

-------

Important note for customers upgrading from a previous version: Axigen iX contains changes to one storage parameter.

As part of Axigen iX the maxFileSize storage parameter value has changed from 256 Mb to 1 Gb.

This parameter refers to the maximum file size in a certain storage location. This parameter can be edited in the WebAdmin interface.

There are three situations in which your existing configuration may be affected and you should review it: for domains created by the wizard at installation time, for domains created via the CLI while omitting maxFileSize and finally for storages added manually in axigen.cfg while omitting maxFileSize.

We therefore recommend that after the upgrade to Axigen iX you should review the Storage tab by editing all the domains configured on your server(s) and make sure the storage allocation is consistent with your intended one.
