Release Notes
Registrar TLD & Pricing Sync
Import TLDs from your domain registrar for faster initial setup of TLDs and verification of prices. Perform a synchronization at any time to easily review and compare your current selling prices with cost prices from your registrar, as well as view and import TLDs that you are not currently selling. Sync options include automatically applying either a percentage or fixed monetary amount based markup with optional rounding to a number of your choice. Initial support includes Enom and all Logicboxes powered registrars, and developer documentation has been made available for integration into 3rd party and custom registrar modules. Learn more...
Cron Task Reporting
Get deeper insights into the actions and events that occur during automated cron tasks to give you a more complete picture of what's happened, and provide a faster and more convenient way to resolve things when they go wrong. New datapoints include information such as the invoices that are generated, invoices that have been attempted for capture, services that have been suspended or terminated and more. In the case of actions which involve communication with remote systems, the recorded data will indicate the success or failure of the action, and in the case of errors, provide the error message and direct shortcuts to allow you to easily resolve and retry the action.

Client Email Preferences
A new email preferences option in client profiles allows customers to choose the types of emails they wish to receive, enabling them to reduce noise and make better use of contacts and sub-accounts. Email preferences can be customised by customers themselves via the client area, or by admin level users, and more contextual and informative notification options make it easier for both clients and contacts to understand the email related settings.

Deprecation & Removal Notices
Modules
During the v7.10.0 update, a one-time routine will inspect and attempt to remove the following modules due to discontinued service by the service provider. Removal will only occur if the module is not actively in use. The Activity Log will have a list of any removals. As well, if removal is not performed and the module remains in your installation, an email will be generated to all full admins so that further investigation can be performed. An inspection will be performed for the following modules:
- Gateways - Kuveytturk
Other
The AutoAuth client login feature is now deprecated. The CreateSsoToken API is a more robust and simpler mechanism for directing users from one authenticated system to a mapped client account within your WHMCS. AutoAuth will be completely removed from WHMCS no later than v8.1.
