However, when I click on the link it shows that I have 3.34.0, which is the most recent version. Why is the Security Advisor not smart enough to know that I'm already up-to-date?
Thank you.

I am new to WHM and Apache. I have never used YUM before. Do you advise that I follow the directions and migrate over to EasyApache 4 or stay with my current version for now?Hello,
However, that said, this is less of an issue once you begin using EasyApache 4 due to the integration with YUM. Thank you.

cPanel 58 is tentatively scheduled for publication to the Current release tier early next week. You can follow the development process on the cPanel blog. Here's the most recent update:I have version 56.0 (build 24). When is it anticipated that version 58 will be available for the masses?
Yes, this is by design. Here's a quote from cPanel & WHM Product Versions and the Release Process that details how major and minor values are incremented:Is it common for cPanel to skip major build numbers? For example, I was expecting that the next version would be 57, not 58.
Thanks!
- Major values represent sets of new features, and are often the most useful value in the product version number.
- Odd major values indicate development releases, which are only available on the EDGE and CURRENT release tiers.
- Even major values indicate production releases, which are available on all of our release tiers.
- Minor values represent sets of bug fixes and changes that stabilize the features that we released in a major value version.
- Initial builds of a production release of cPanel & WHM use a minor value of 0 (for example, 40.0).
- Subsequent publications of the production release will increment the build value (for example, 30.0.1)
- Build values represent a unique build of cPanel & WHM.
I found this on your blog, "Due to problems in the security and usability, the following features have been removed from cPanel & WHM version 58, and are now targeted for v60: EasyApache 4 conversion interface".cPanel 58 is tentatively scheduled for publication to the Current release tier early next week.
You can wait if you like, you'll be fine.Since I am a newbie when it comes to WHM, do you suggest that I wait until version 60? Or should I upgrade via the command line somehow?
