Release Notes

EGL Build 261015.1

15 October 2026

NEW Paymenter 1.5.9, the current release of the open-source billing and automation panel for hosting companies, on AlmaLinux 10, with our WHMCS migration tool built in.

NEW Move from WHMCS in one command. Copy a backup of your WHMCS database to the instance and run the migration tool: it checks the backup, shows you what will change before anything does, and imports only when you type yes.

NEW Clients, administrators, products, services and add-ons, domains, invoices, payments, tax rules, promotions and tickets are moved, and your WHMCS invoice numbers are kept (where two clash, one is given a marked number, listed before you import).

NEW Billing waits until you start it. After the import nothing is invoiced, reminded or suspended until you click Start billing, and the Ready to start billing? page checks your scheduler, mail, payment gateways and servers first.

NEW Your WHMCS data stays on your instance. The backup is loaded into a temporary database there and removed when the import ends.

NEW Your billing panel is installed and ready when the installer finishes. The database and your administrator account are created for you, and the sign-in is shown once in the summary.

NEW Billing runs from the first minute. The background worker and the scheduler run as their own services and restart automatically, so invoices, reminders and suspensions are produced on time without any setup.

NEW Free SSL and your own domain in one command. Run sudo /usr/local/bin/egl-setup-domain.sh.x and a certificate is obtained and renewed automatically. Paymenter is also told its new address, so the links in your invoices and reminders point to your domain.

NEW Server extensions for cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, Enhance, Virtualizor, VirtFusion, Convoy and Pterodactyl, and payment gateways for Stripe, PayPal and Mollie, are included.

NEW MariaDB 11.4, a long-term support release, and Redis for caching and background jobs, on an isolated internal network with no published port.

NEW A unique administrator password and application key are generated for every instance. The password is shown to you once.

NEW Only three inbound ports are needed: 22, 80 and 443.
