Here is the changelog:

CPANEL MAIL NODE

CrossBox now fully supports cPanel's mail only server profile

BRANDING

all resellers now have control to brand their own CrossBox (reseller's customers also) simply by logging in into CrossBox with admin account: admin@resellerdomain.com (and admin@customerdomain.com for domain admins)
root admins can manage branding records as well
branding also allows having custom SMTP/IMAP/POP3 hostname
who has branding is controlled by a service provider (through feature manager - it is enabled by default upon receiving this update)
welcome emails for newly created e-mails are also branded

ADMIN AREA

completely redesigned and now you log in as you normally would via CrossBox login screen using your root admin e-mail address (you can view that by running command "crossbox info")
admin has all the previous features, but much more user-friendly and simpler to use
fixed some issues deleting users
the old admin area is no longer useable

INSTALLATION

faster installation (reduced download .tar.gz size from 2.5GB to 700MB)
incorporated CrossBox UI into installer - now installer is a part of CrossBox

EMAIL

ability to preview attachments when composing
automatically detect if the e-mail cannot be seen on dark mode, and automatically add the white background
fix regression: zoom out when the e-mail is too large
fix the issue when composing e-mail/drafting: email not appearing on the list or in view
fix the issue where attachments on the list sometimes do not appear
improve the thread chunking algorithm
improve the rendering performance of the mail list
added "Max emails per hour" and "Queued" indicators below the disk quota indicator (shown only on cPanel servers)

improve the rendering performance of the list

CHAT

fixed some issues with channel list not sorting when new messages arrive
the "New message" flag sometimes did not go away even though you read the channel
improved rendering of the online and channel lists

DASHBOARD

it showed wrong counter (did not exclude junk mail count)

CONTACTS

fixed issue when deleting contact record in some cases
sorting of the contacts was sometimes inconsistent
faster list rendering

PREVIEWER

fixed the issue with playing audio files

TOAST

redesigned the behavior of toast, it will now queue messages (and show up to three on a desktop and one on mobile) and it's now centered instead of a bottom right corner
the animation is now more fluid

after redirection from cPanel autologin - it will now show the progress of account creation if any (before it just showed loader)

SMTP PROXIFY

fixed an issue with some SMTPs passing additional params to FROM command and in turn SMTP Proxify rejecting such commands

SECURITY

add alternative ways to reset a password (cPanel, Plesk, standalone)
via the alternative e-mail address
by answering secret questions
by entering the correct 2FA code

CLI

"crossbox status" command now yields more useful information
"crossbox restart|stop|start" now works more efficiently

MISC

we are now using single WebSocket connection for N number of currently connected accounts, therefore allowing you to be logged into as many accounts as you want (before the limit was browser's WebSocket implementation (5))

fix IMAP connection pooling (semaphore was incorrectly acquired)
new service: mail parser - improves e-mail loading speed 5-10 times in some cases
UWSGI processes are now using a maximum of 2 IMAP connections per account at most, additionally, IMAP connection will be cleared after 5 minutes of inactivity (unless server clears it before that)
UWSGI worker count will no longer exceed 2 workers (num of CPUs = number of workers; is no longer the case, as the CrossBox can handle 100 concurrent users on a single worker using 1vCPU)

fabs are now more noticeable - they will briefly show the name of the action
upgraded all third-party libraries that ship with CrossBox
