Changelog

2025.05-02

smoxy 2025.05-02 will be available from May 27, 2025.

✅ Bug fix: In some cases, the total number of DNS records was counted incorrectly. We now count your entries correctly. (SP-1796)

✅ Bug fix: In some cases, the hostname context menu was unreadable when the hostname was the last entry in the table. The context menu is now always displayed correctly. (SP-1805)

✅ Bug fix: When adding new SANs in a domain’s SSL configuration, you can directly verify these entries. Unfortunately, the SAN table wasn’t updating correctly, so outdated information about your new SAN entry was still shown. Fixed. (SP-1806)

✅ Bug fix: If you’ve ever wondered why certain origin servers couldn’t be deleted, we can now assure you that in such cases you will receive an error message. In most cases, the origin server is still in use in one of your configurations. The error message will help you quickly and easily identify which configuration is using it. (SP-1807)

✅ Bug fix: A bug was fixed in SSL generation where, after adding new SANs, the SSL certificate was still being generated with the old SANs. (SP-1810 / SP-1821 / SP-1822)

✅ Bug fix: Through the API, load balancers (including their origins) could previously be deleted. Unfortunately, a check was missing to see if those origins were still in use. This ultimately caused errors on the Origin & Loadbalancer page, making it unusable for the user. Origins are now no longer deleted if they are still used by other load balancers. (SP-1829)

⚙️ Optimization: Some buttons in smoxy have been assigned new CSS classes to make styling more consistent. (SP-1530)

⚙️ Optimization: Various icons have been replaced to ensure the same icons are used for the same functions. (SP-1538)

⚙️ Optimization: We regularly scan the DNS records for all configured hostnames to give users hints on whether the configuration for these hostnames is correct. In some cases, users cannot configure CNAMEs for their hostnames. To better reflect this limitation, we’ve introduced a new status so these hostnames are no longer marked as faulty. (SP-1785 / SP-1827)

⚙️ Optimization: When activating the CDN function for a hostname, additional information has been added to the loading indicator. Longer loading times had caused uncertainty among some users. (SP-1801)

🔁 Enhancement: When using smoxy’s DNS functionality, smoxy will now send an email when the nameservers have been successfully switched. (SP-1323)

🔁 Enhancement: Since the 2025.04-01 release, you can check where your origins are used. With this release, you also see which load balancers use the selected origin server. This means you no longer have to manually search your load balancer list for your origins. (SP-1777)

🔁 Enhancement: Using the CDN? The quick action to clear the cache for a specific URL is now compatible with the CDN. (SP-1798)

🔁 Enhancement: Want to know when your SSL certificate will be renewed next? This information is now visible in the SSL configuration of each respective domain. (SP-1800)

🔁 Enhancement: When deleting a hostname, you can now simply click to copy the hostname in the confirmation popup. (SP-1809)

⭐ New feature: Are you using your own SSL certificate but want to switch to the SSL certificate generated by smoxy so you don’t have to upload a new SSL every 60 days? This is now easily possible. Go to the SSL configuration of your domain and click the button “Use Let’s Encrypt Certificate.” You will then receive a list of DNS records required for the SSL certificate. Once you have set these up, smoxy will immediately generate your new certificate and replace your old certificate after successful generation. (SP-1548)

2025.05-01

smoxy 2025.05-01 will be available from May 8, 2025.

✅ Bug fix: Closing the modal when adding a new SAN triggered a page refresh, even when no new SAN was actually added. (SP-1754)

✅ Bug fix: When generating a new user token in smoxy, the current organization was always preselected by default. This made it impossible to create a generic, organization-independent token. (SP-1769)

✅ Bug fix: An issue was fixed where updating an SSL certificate would automatically remove invalid SANs. This resulted in several subdomains no longer being covered by the certificate. Now, invalid SANs will trigger an error instead of being silently removed. (SP-1775)

✅ Bug fix: Warning and error icon popovers would no longer appear after switching browser tabs. (SP-1779)

⚙️ Optimization: Previously, new Page/Conditional Rules were always initialized with the setting “Origin and Loadbalancer”. In some cases, this led to users unintentionally overwriting their existing origin setup. From now on, no default configuration is preselected when creating new rules. (SP-1763)

⚙️ Optimization: The rule overview pages now automatically wrap lines when rule settings become very long, such as when maintaining a large cache key whitelist. (SP-1766)

⚙️ Optimization: The search function in DNS management has been improved to filter results in real-time while typing. Additionally, multiple fields are now searchable, allowing you to find entries by type, name, or value. (SP-1768)

🔁 Enhancement: Improved layout on the Domain SSL page when no SANs have been configured yet. (SP-1755)

🔁 Enhancement: The layout of the DNS management page was adjusted so that nameservers and DNS records are now shown in equally sized boxes. (SP-1756)

🔁 Enhancement: The minification process for HTML, CSS, and JS was fundamentally revised and simplified. Compression levels were removed due to issues at higher settings. The new function performs simple minification by stripping comments and unnecessary whitespace, without risking the functionality of JavaScript code. The optimization is also significantly faster now. (SP-1773)

2025.04-01

smoxy 2025.04-01 will be available from April 17, 2025. This release includes numerous bug fixes, optimizations, improvements and new features.

✅ Bug fix: Missing translations were added (SP-1743)

✅ Bug fix: The breadcrumb navigation was reviewed and adjusted on several pages to correctly reflect the actual path (SP-1750)

✅ Bug fix: Fixed an issue where the popover for hostname issues in the basic configuration of a site was not displayed (SP-1767)

✅ Bug fix: Fixed a bug where not all settings of a rule were shown. This could lead to lost settings when editing the rule. This issue only affected a very small number of customers and has already been resolved for them. All other customers were not affected. (SP-1770)

⚙️ Optimization: When creating a new site that uses the same domain as a previously deleted (but not yet permanently deleted) site, you are now asked whether to restore the old site or permanently delete it to start fresh with a new configuration (SP-1760 SP-1761)

⚙️ Optimization: The hostname validation logic and configuration checks were completely overhauled. The system now provides more accurate feedback on whether a hostname is correctly configured or if something is still missing. Many messages now include the option to trigger a recheck immediately—for example, right after a DNS change (SP-1762)

⚙️ Optimization: In the new feature for custom error pages, it was previously not possible to upload an HTML file without first enabling the feature. This restriction made little sense and has now been removed. You can now upload your own HTML files without having to activate maintenance mode first (SP-1765)

⚙️ Optimization: After setting up a new site via the wizard, there was previously no clear feedback on whether the DNS records for SSL generation were correct. This has been improved and it is now clearly indicated whether the DNS records are valid (SP-1757)

⚙️ Optimization: When importing DNS records into smoxy DNS, TTLs of 1 second are now automatically set to 1 hour. This reduces unnecessary DNS queries on every request (SP-1318)

⚙️ Optimization: When creating a new DNS entry, the most commonly used record types are now shown at the top of the selection for quicker access (SP-1319)

⚙️ Optimization: Various UI adjustments were made, such as standardizing input fields. These are purely cosmetic changes (SP-1523 SP-1524)

⚙️ Optimization: Previously, the SSL configuration could only be accessed if the CNAME records for the root domain were correctly set. This restriction has been lifted to support use cases where SSL certificates are only needed for subdomains (SP-1714)

🔁 Enhancement: The validation for response header settings has been extended to allow more special characters, making it possible to add headers like: Content-Security-Policy=frame-ancestors 'self' wp.uxturbo.de *.uxturbo.de; (SP-1245)

🔁 Enhancement: When uploading a custom SSL certificate for a domain, the Subject Alternative Names (SANs) in the certificate are now displayed on the SSL configuration page. This makes it easier to see which domains are covered by the certificate (SP-1549)

🔁 Enhancement: When a new site is created in smoxy and a root domain is provided, the hostnames for the root domain and the corresponding www domain are now automatically preconfigured. If the www domain is not needed, it can be removed with a single click (SP-1562)

⭐ New Feature: Previously, you could configure load balancers in smoxy to overwrite the hostname for each request. To avoid needing a separate load balancer for each server, hostnames can now also be overwritten at the origin level (SP-1650)

⭐ New Feature: It was previously difficult to check where in smoxy a particular origin server or load balancer was used. You can now see where each origin or load balancer is being used (SP-1645)

2025.03-03

smoxy 2025.03-03 will be available from March 21, 2025. This release introduces new features.

New Error Page

Custom Error Page

Custom Security Page

⭐ New Feature: Custom Pages for Errors, Security Blocks & Maintenance Mode

You can now upload custom pages as part of the basic configuration of a site. These pages will be used in the following scenarios:

• 502 & 504 Errors – When the origin server is unreachable

• Security Blocks – When a request is blocked by smoxy’s security features

• Maintenance Mode – When a site is temporarily taken offline

Yes, smoxy now supports a built-in maintenance mode! When activated, all requests will be redirected to your custom maintenance page.

Additionally, the error and security pages support custom variables that can be placed in the HTML template. These variables include:

• ::SX_STATUS:: – The HTTP status code

• ::SX_HOST:: – The hostname of the requested site

• ::SX_REMOTE_IP:: – The remote IP address of the user

This allows for dynamic and personalized error pages, ensuring a better user experience even in unexpected situations.

⭐ New Feature: smoxy Status Page

smoxy now has its own status page: https://status.smoxy.eu

Here, you can always check the current state of smoxy and its components. The status page provides:

✅ System Status – Check if all smoxy services are running smoothly 🔧 Scheduled Maintenance Windows – Get early notifications about upcoming maintenance ⚠️ Incidents & Issues – Stay informed about ongoing and resolved problems

So if you experience delays or issues, you can quickly check the status page to see if maintenance or a system event is the cause.

2025.03-02

smoxy 2025.03-02 will be available from March 18, 2025. This release introduces two new features.

⭐ New Feature: Configurable Ignoring of Cache Tags

With this new feature, you can define a comma-separated list of cache tags that should be ignored from response headers. Tags in this list will not be set and therefore will not influence cache invalidation.

Use Case:

A common example is e-commerce platforms that automatically assign a large number of cache tags. Often, these tags are too broad, causing excessive cache invalidation when purging. As a result, the cache hit rate drops significantly. By selectively ignoring unnecessary tags, you can improve cache efficiency and prevent unnecessary purges.

⭐ New Feature: Flexible Definition of Cache-Tag Response Headers

You can now define up to four response headers from which cache tags should be extracted. By default, cache tags are read from the X-Cache-Tags header. However, since not all web applications follow the same standard, you can now specify custom header names and delimiters.

2025.03-01

smoxy 2025.03-01 will be available from March 15, 2025. This release includes numerous bug fixes, optimizations, and improvements.

✅ Bug fix: Fixed a bug when sites were duplicated, that the Origins and Loadbalancers configured in the site, were duplicated as well, instead of re-using them.

✅ Bug fix: Fixed an verification issue for the validation of a custom SSL certificate during upload.

✅ Bug fix: Previously it was not possible to define Response or Request Headers which had a value of "0". The validation for the configuration was updated.

✅ Bug fix: An exception prevented users from accepting an invitation to smoxy. It is now possible register during an invitation again.

⚙️ Optimization: When the last user of a user group is removed, this group will be automatically deleted.

⚙️ Optimization: Various descriptions and namings of settings have been adjusted to be better understandable. Settings on the basic configuration page have been re-ordered to fit thematically together and make finding configurations easier.

🔁 Enhancement: The activate smoxy button on the Dashboard of a site now shows all CNAME records that assigned hostnames should have and should make it clearer to users what DNS records to set.

⭐ New function: The site overview page got a redesign and now also shows active page and conditional rules in a tab, so you have faster access and an overview of applied rules. In addition we've added various states to hostnames that show up as warnings or error messages, if there is an issue with your hostnames. These messages will tell you what needs to be done to resolve these issues.

The search on the site overview page was improved to immediately search while typing and also highlighting hostnames that have been found by the search.

2025.02-03

smoxy 2025.02-03 will be available from February 27, 2025. This release includes numerous bug fixes, optimizations, and improvements.

✅ Bug fix: When changing the language during registration, the contents of the fields now remain unchanged. (SP-1295)

✅ Bug fix: When uploading a custom SSL certificate for a domain and the Subject Alternative Names (SAN) differ, users now receive detailed information about the changes in the entries. The new SSL certificate is only uploaded after confirmation. (SP-1621)

✅ Bug fix: Fixed an issue where not all configuration changes were applied in smoxy. This particularly affected moving hostnames between sites. (SP-1721)

⚙️ Optimization: Users with the Viewer role cannot use quick access shortcuts in the dashboard. This is now better represented by directly disabling the elements when the necessary permissions are not available. (SP-1720)

⚙️ Optimization: Removed elements from the Site Overview that were redundant if no sites had been set up yet. This includes search and filter options. (SP-1666)

🔁 Enhancement: Not exactly an enhancement, but the option to subscribe to the smoxy newsletter during registration has been removed. (SP-1670)

🔁 Enhancement: The API endpoint for deleting load balancers now also allows deleting associated origins, provided they are not used by sites or rules. (SP-1722)

2025.02-02

smoxy 2025.02-02 will be available from 19.02.2025. This release includes numerous bug fixes, optimizations, and improvements.

✅ Bug fix: Fixed an issue where the tooltip from the Traffic Widget (bottom left) would not disappear. (SP-1302)

✅ Bug fix: When going back a step in the Site Wizard, the fields were reset to their default values. Now, the wizard remembers the previously entered values when going back. (SP-1663)

✅ Bug fix: Fixed a validation issue when creating DNS records. (SP-1673)

✅ Bug fix: Fixed a display issue where the status of a DNS zone remained “Pending” even though the nameservers had already been updated. (SP-1676)

✅ Bug fix: Fixed an issue in the quick actions for cache deletion by URL, where the specified hostname in the URL was not correctly recognized. (SP-1677)

✅ Bug fix: Fixed an issue where hostnames were not correctly removed after the associated domain was deleted. (SP-1686)

✅ Bug fix: Page and Conditional Rules are now displayed in the correct order again. (SP-1699)

✅ Bug fix: Fixed an issue where SSL generation resulted in an infinite loop. (SP-1700)

✅ Bug fix: When synchronizing smoxy configurations, not all configurations were always applied. This issue has been resolved. (SP-1705)

✅ Bug fix: During the migration to the new domain management system, some domains of an organization were not displayed. Domains are now correctly displayed again. This fix is part 1. Part 2 will address the configuration of SSL certificates that contain only a SAN entry for a subdomain. (SP-1706)

✅ Bug fix: Previously deleted domains could still be selected in the DNS zones dropdown menu. This issue has been fixed. (SP-1707)

✅ Bug fix: Fixed an issue where SSL certificates were not being regenerated after new Subject Alternative Names were added. (SP-1718)

⚙️ Optimization: smoxy now automatically cleans up hostnames and SSL certificates that are not assigned to any site and therefore cannot be configured by the customer.

⚙️ Optimization: When new Subject Alternative Names (SANs) are added to a domain, smoxy automatically checks if the required CNAMEs are set and then triggers SSL generation automatically. This prevents users from forgetting to renew SSL when SANs are added. (SP-1564)

🔁 Enhancement: smoxy now regularly checks whether the CNAME records for SANs are correct and updates the status accordingly. (SP-1567)

2025.02-01

smoxy 2025.02-01 is available from February 5th, 2025. The release includes bug fixes, optimizations and a new function.

✅ Bug fix: Fixed an issue in the Site Wizard where users could access it even if they were not authorized. (SP-1631)

✅ Bug fix: Fixed a problem where the search function on the Origins and Load Balancer pages made the form for managing origins in load balancers unusable. (SP-1635)

⚙️ Optimization: In the SSL DNS entry modal, the copy button was inaccessible for very long domains (over 100 characters). Line breaks now ensure the button remains reachable. (SP-1632)

⚙️ Optimization: When creating a new site, AVIF and WebP conversion settings are now automatically enabled, ensuring that conversion is active as soon as image optimization is enabled. (SP-1268)

⚙️ Optimization: When scanning the target IP in the Site Wizard, an existing origin will now be used if found, instead of creating a new origin with the same IP. (SP-1623)

⚙️ Optimization: The overview pages for Page and Conditional Rules have been revised to display all modified settings within each rule, making rule management in smoxy easier. (SP-1647 / SP-1648)

⚙️ Optimization: Various improvements have been made to SSL generation. The process is now more stable and automatically cleans up TXT records. (SP-1672 / SP-1634 / SP-1641)

🔁 Enhancement: Preparations for CDN functionality in smoxy. (SP-1617 / SP-1618 / SP-1619)

⭐ New function: After completing the Site Wizard, a checklist is now displayed in the Site Dashboard. This helps users understand what still needs to be done to process real traffic with smoxy. The checklist disappears automatically once everything is properly configured. (SP-1633 / SP-1674)

2024.12-01

smoxy 2024.12-01 is available from December 4, 2024. The release includes bug fixes, optimizations and a new function.

smoxy 2024.10-01 is available from November 12, 2024. This release includes numerous bug fixes, optimizations, enhancements, and new features.

Major Changes and Improvements

⭐ Load Balancer and Origin Enhancements

We’ve completely overhauled how load balancer configurations are managed in smoxy to simplify and improve your experience. Previously, load balancer configurations were tied to individual sites, which often led to duplicated setups and extra work. Load balancer management has now been moved to the account level under the organization settings. This change reduces duplication and provides a centralized way to manage load balancers.

Overview of the origins and load balancer page

With this improvement, each load balancer can now be used across all sites. You can select a load balancer as the default traffic target for any site, and they can now also be chosen in Page Rules and Conditional Rules. This allows for a more efficient and consistent management of your servers in smoxy, while providing a much clearer overview of your entire infrastructure.

In addition to this, we’ve introduced Origins as a simpler alternative to load balancers. In many cases, a dedicated load balancer isn’t necessary, especially if you only have one server. You can now define an origin by giving it a name, specifying its protocol (HTTP or HTTPS), IP address, and port. This origin can then be used as the default traffic target, removing the need to create a load balancer for setups with a single server. Origins can also be assigned to load balancers, enabling you to manage them in a more modular way. Previously, you had to redefine each server for a load balancer repeatedly; now, origins link directly to load balancers, saving time and ensuring consistency.

To make this transition smooth, all existing configurations for load balancers and origins will be automatically migrated, so you don’t need to make any manual changes. For more details on the migration process, including where you can find your previous load balancers and some helpful workflows to clean up duplicated load balancers or origins, we’ve created a dedicated page that explains everything step-by-step.

⭐ Domain and DNS Management Updates

Managing your domains and DNS records is now easier and more streamlined. We have combined the DNS and Domain Overview pages into a single, unified Domain Overview Page. This consolidation allows you to manage both your DNS records and SSL certificates in one place, making the process more intuitive and efficient.

Overview of the domain & dns page

We’ve also made an important correction to how domains and hostnames are handled in smoxy. Previously, you could add hostnames directly as "domains" to generate SSL certificates, which wasn’t technically correct. With this update, you will now add domains to generate wildcard SSL certificates, and hostnames will be assigned to sites. This adjustment ensures proper naming conventions and usage while retaining all the same functionality. For example, instead of assigning a domain to a site, you will now assign specific hostnames. This change clarifies the roles of domains and hostnames, helping you better organize your configurations without impacting how smoxy behaves.

As with the changes to load balancers, smoxy will automatically handle the migration of your existing configurations. This ensures a seamless transition without requiring additional effort on your part.

⭐ New Site Wizard

We’re excited to announce the introduction of a new site wizard, designed to simplify and speed up the process of setting up your first site in smoxy. The wizard is built with a user-focused approach, starting by asking, "What website do you want to optimize?" This question aligns with the way users typically think about optimizing their sites and sets the stage for smoxy to preconfigure much of the setup for you.

Create your site

Using the provided website information, the wizard will automatically detect your origin server and prefill the necessary configuration. You can still adjust this if needed, but in most cases, the user won’t have to figure out their origin IP manually anymore. The wizard will also automatically add hostnames to your site, removing the need to configure them separately later. If additional hostnames are required, you can add them directly within the wizard.

The wizard also simplifies the SSL certificate setup process. smoxy will automatically create the necessary domain configuration to generate a wildcard certificate and will display only the required CNAME records that need to be configured for the certificate. This eliminates unnecessary steps and ensures users can focus on getting their site running smoothly.

While the site wizard currently focuses on streamlining the initial setup, we’re planning future updates to expand its functionality. In upcoming releases, the wizard will assist users with post-setup configurations, helping them manage real traffic through smoxy with ease. These enhancements are part of our ongoing effort to make smoxy as user-friendly and efficient as possible.

Why These Changes Matter

These updates represent a significant step forward in simplifying smoxy’s configuration process. By centralizing load balancer management, introducing origins, and refining how domains and hostnames are handled, we’ve reduced complexity and improved the clarity of your infrastructure setup. The new site wizard further accelerates onboarding, making it easier than ever for new users to get started.

We’re committed to providing the best possible experience for smoxy users. As always, your feedback is invaluable to us, and we look forward to continuing to refine and improve smoxy based on your needs.

2024.11-01

smoxy 2024.10-01 is available from November 6, 2024. This release includes one enhancement.

🔁 Enhancement: The character limit for Page Rule and Conditional Rule names has been increased from 40 characters to 256 characters. This enhancement allows you to create more descriptive and meaningful names for your rules, making it easier to identify and manage them in complex configurations. Previously, the 40-character limit could restrict the ability to use detailed naming conventions. The extended limit provides greater flexibility for users managing a large number of rules.

2024.10-02

smoxy 2024.10-02 is available from October 16, 2024. This release includes numerous bug fixes, optimizations, enhancements, and new features.

✅ Bug fix: Improved SSL certificate generation to reduce errors. (SP-1288 / SP-1139)

✅ Bug fix: Fixed an issue where certain actions triggered cache change events without content changes. Conditions were refined to keep the old cache when content is unchanged. The queue was also improved: when items are pending and no differences exist, no new entries are added to enhance performance. (SP-1271)

⚙️ Optimization: Certificates for wildcard domains (*.example.com) and root domains (example.com) are now generated simultaneously. This change halves the time needed for certificate creation, making the setup process significantly faster and more efficient. (SP-1079)

⚙️ Optimization: The nightly aggregation of KPIs, which are used to display request and cache hit data in the Sites widgets, has been significantly accelerated. (SP-1125)

🔁 Enhancement: smoxy has expanded its suite of front-end tests to improve the reliability and performance of the interface. The additional tests cover new scenarios and functions, ensuring stability and functionality in future updates. (SP-1372)

🔁 Enhancement: Based on user feedback, we’ve updated the terminology throughout the platform to clarify a point of confusion. The term “Organizations” has been replaced with “Accounts” to better align with how users understand the structure and use of the platform. This change has been applied across the entire smoxy interface, including all relevant documentation, menus, and settings.

⭐ New Feature: Unified Sites page for managing zones and domains. (SP-1103)

Overview of a single site

• The introduction of the Sites page is part of smoxy’s efforts to become even more user-friendly. By combining zones and domains in one place, management is clearer and more efficient.

• This change is the first step in a series of improvements. In the near future, domain management will also be overhauled to make smoxy even more intuitive and powerful.

• The Sites page marks the beginning of these optimizations, simplifying how you configure and monitor your web applications in smoxy.

⭐ New Feature: Maintainers and owners can now upload their own SSL certificates for domains. (SP-1250)

⭐ New Feature: A greeting window is now displayed on the first login in smoxy. The window provides direct links to creating new sites, accessing documentation, and contacting support, helping you get started with configuring and using smoxy. (SP-1289)

2024.10-01

smoxy 2024.10-01 is available from October 01, 2024. This release includes numerous bug fixes, optimizations, enhancements, and new features.

✅ Bug fix: Added missing translation for the time range in the trial sticky note, ensuring it is now properly displayed in all supported languages.

✅ Bug fix: Resolved an issue in the HTML Hit-Rate dashboard graph where disabling bypasses caused tooltips to break and no longer display numbers. Additionally, sharing the graph now functions correctly when bypasses are disabled. (SP-1246)

⚙️ Optimization: The Traffic Widget has been disabled for certain customers. This decision was made after feedback indicated that the widget led to confusion in interpreting traffic data. We are working on enhancements to improve clarity and functionality.

⚙️ Optimization: The Smallfry and MPE methods have been removed from image optimization, as they offered no significant benefits and were sometimes slower.

⚙️ Optimization: The minimum TTL (Time-to-Live) for DNS entries is now set to one minute.

🔁 Enhancement: Implemented a confirmation modal for clearing the cache (SP-1247)

🔁 Enhancement: The tag badges in the breadcrumb navigation for zones and tags have been updated.

🔁 Enhancement: Several spelling mistakes have been corrected.

🔁 Enhancement: The images used in smoxy have been compressed to improve loading times.

🔁 Enhancement: The verification code for email addresses during registration is now valid for a longer period.

🔁 Enhancement: Some browser titles have been adjusted.

🔁 Enhancement: Multiple feature descriptions have been revised to make their functionality clearer.

🔁 Enhancement: It is now possible to delete domains within an organization. The delete link from the Domain Wizard has been removed, as it was often overlooked.

🔁 Enhancement: Various font changes have been made to improve readability.

🔁 Enhancement: Duplicate links have been removed from the footer.

🔁 Enhancement: Filter elements are now hidden when only one entry is available.

🔁 Enhancement: The number of DNS entries has been removed from the DNS zone overview page.

🔁 Enhancement: Breadcrumbs for Page and Conditional Rules have been updated to better reflect the current position in the smoxy Hub.

🔁 Enhancement: The cache clearing modal now displays two example URL formats below the input field to help users understand how to correctly input URLs. (SP-1244)

🔁 Enhancement: The Basic Auth setting can now be enabled or disabled at any time, without the need for a user to exist, allowing for more flexible configuration. (SP-1222),

🔁 Enhancement: The “Dashboard” tab has been removed from the Domain Detail pages, as it was unnecessary and had no relevant use case for customers. (SP-1266)

⭐ New Feature: DNS Record Export to BIND Format (SP-1138)

• You can now export your DNS records from smoxy directly to a .txt file in BIND format. This feature simplifies backups and migrations by providing a standardized export of all DNS entries for a specific zone.

• The export includes essential DNS record types (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, etc.), along with TTL values, making it compatible with BIND and other DNS management systems that support this format.

• To use this feature, navigate to the DNS zone you wish to export, click the dropdown icon next to the “Add DNS-Records” button, and select the “Export” option. Your DNS records will be downloaded as a .txt file in BIND format, ready for immediate use or backup.

⭐ New Feature: Added a toggle to show or hide all subdomains in the domain overview of a zone, giving users more control over how subdomains are displayed. (SP-1241)

2024.09-01

smoxy 2024.09-01 is available from September 10, 2024. This release includes numerous bug fixes, optimizations, enhancements, and new features.

✅ Bug fix: Field validation for the target domain in redirect zones has been adjusted so that domains can now be entered with the schema “https://”. Previously, this caused confusion due to an error message related to special characters in the schema. (SP-1213)

✅ Bug fix: Resolved an issue where a hostname removed from a load balancer still appeared afterwards. (SP-1219)

✅ Bug fix: Basic Auth configurations are now correctly copied to the new zone when duplicating a zone. (SP-1221)

✅ Bug fix: When importing DNS entries, the TTL values were sometimes provided without a time unit. (SP-1227)

✅ Bug fix: Fixed a display issue where the checkbox to mark a load balancer as primary had an incorrect description. (SP-1234)

⚙️ Optimization: Changes were made to smoxy API session handling to generate fewer sessions. (SP-1192)

🔁 Enhancement: Sidebar navigation was revamped to make frequently used functions more prominent and improve usability. (SP-1102)
