Hundreds of other improvements

In addition to major features, hundreds of tweaks and improvements are included in Installatron 6.1. Some of these include:

• Users now receive an email containing installation details after completing each install. The email template can be customized, or this feature can be turned off.

• SEO features have been improved, enabling a small image or text hyperlink to be tastefully added to each installed application. These links can be customized.

• Backup & Restore Improvements: Added support for gzgip compression of backups. Furthermore, restore reliability has been improved for large backups.

• Better detection of existing details (database settings, etc.) for the user-level "Import an existing installation" tool.

• By default more logical abbreviations are used for database names and table prefixes when the "Automatic" database option is chosen. Randomized prefixes are still an option in Installatron Admin.

• Wizard "Next" buttons are now the default focus, enabling use of the "enter" key to fast-forward through wizard steps.

• Plesk: Account name is prefixed to created databases and database usernames.
