What's New in WHMCS 7.5.1

7.5.1

Note
Encoded File Loading - In WHMCS v7.5.1 you have the option to control the Encoded File Loading feature. This feature was introduced in v7.5.0 to mitigate the possibility of fatal errors resulting from the inclusion of incompatible ionCube encoded files. Disabling this feature may be needed for some custom ionCube files. For example, the ionCube Online Encoder product currently produces files whose embedded content does not follow the same conventions of other encoded files and thus may trigger a negative evaluation.
