Account Transfers cPanel 11.25.0 Release Feature Updates
For cPanel™ to cPanel™ transfers, the single and multiple account transfer interfaces in WHM now provide the ability to skip the home directory when packaging an account. This allows you to reduce the amount of time a transfer takes and choose a more efficient method to transfer the user’s home directory.
The cPanel™ version of the remote server is auto-detected for cPanel™-to-cPanel™ account transfers. The Remote Server Type menu in the transfer interface is updated to reflect this change.
When transferring a mixture of reseller and non-reseller accounts using the Multiple Account Transfer interface, the resellers will transer first. Prior cPanel™ versions would iterate through the users alphabetically.

Apache Handlers For cPanel version 11.30
Apache handlers control how your site’s Apache web server software manages certain file types and file extensions.
Apache comes configured to handle CGI scripts and server-parsed files. Their file extensions include: .cgi, .pl, .plx, .ppl, .perl, and .shtml.
You can configure Apache to handle a new file type with an existing handler by manually adding the handler and extension to cPanel.
For example, to have the server treat files with the extension .example as CGI files, you would type ”cgi-script” under Handler and “.example” under Extension(s).

Cron permissions
The following two files play an important role:
/etc/cron.allow - If this file exists, then you must be listed therein (your username must be listed) in order to be allowed to use cron jobs.
/etc/cron.deny - If the cron.allow file does not exist but the /etc/cron.deny file does exist, then you must not be listed in the /etc/cron.deny file in order to use cron jobs.
Please note that if neither of these files exists, then depending on site-dependent configuration parameters, only the super user will be allowed to use cron jobs, or all users will be able to use cron jobs.
