P-Security Structural/Functional/Enhancement/Core Changes:

The File Manager has been moved to its own tab page. The Php.ini Master File Maker and Php.ini File Creator Forms have had some functionality changes made to simplify the process of creating custom php.ini files. The Read Me help text throughout P-Security has been updated to reflect the new functionality, structural and core changes. Reduction in size of large PHP Core file by creating additional conditional supporting files with require.

Custom Code Network/Multisite Additional Text Box:

CUSTOM CODE WP REWRITE LOOP END: Add WP Rewrite Loop End code here. This is a Special Network/Multisite Custom Code text box that should ONLY be used if the correct WP REWRITE LOOP END code is not being created in your root .htaccess file by AutoMagic. This Custom Code text box and Read Me help text is ONLY displayed if you have a Network/Multisite website.

System Info Enhancements/Improvements/Additions:

DNS Name Server checking code performance improvement and conditional checking added based on domain labels. Network/Multisite subdirectory / subdomain site type check added and changes to existing conditional checks. output_buffering directive variable check changed and text correction. Additional conditional checks for PHP Actual Configuration Memory Limit. Will display color coded recommendations and/or memory limits.

Pro-Tools Online Base64 Decoder & Offline Base64 Decode/Encode Core Changes:

These 2 Pro-Tools are now separate pages conditional loaded with require that can be deleted individually in cases where a Host Scanner or other Scanner is incorrectly detecting the legitimate code in these 2 Pro-Tools as malicious code. The recommended action is to whitelist these 2 Pro-Tools and not delete them, but in cases where that is not possible then these 2 Pro-Tools can be deleted individually without having to delete the entire Pro-Tools page, which means that the other 14 Pro-Tools will still be available and usable.
