cPGS v0.8.0 released

[darren]

Hey all.

This morning I pushed out the initial 0.8.0 release of cPGS. The main feature from 0.7.7 is that the server stop/start functions have been updated to use ajax instead of going to a page that just says "Server Started". This includes a live scrolling log window to see what is going on without having to reload the dedicated log viewer page over and over.
There is also an option in WHM for each user/game/install on the "manage game" page to enable direct commands. If enabled, this adds an input box under the log window where clients can basically have console access to their server. By default it is disabled, as most servers have no use for this, but for something like Counter Strike it can be a big help since it is basically RCON access. This does not open a shell, but rather uses a Steward that monitors the running game and handles input from the user via a socket unique to each user/game/install.
The new Steward will provide quite a lot of control possibilities in the future as it can monitor all output from the server and give it input.

This is a pretty big jump for cPGS development and may have unforeseen issues on some servers. There is also a good bit of javascript added in this release, so some browsers may not play very nicely. I tested on Firefox, Chrome and IE9 so it should be fine for most folks. If you have problems with it, as always open a ticket so I can take a look at it, and if possibly browser related, let me know which one you are using.
