Release: v15.10

The v15.10 release includes a collection of minor bug fixes primarily focused on theme-related issues affecting both the revised original white theme and the new dark theme introduced in v15.09.

One fix resolves an issue where the CF_ENABLE setting would continue to display the Cloudflare Integration buttons in the web interface even when the value was set to 0. A similar issue was identified and corrected with the statistics buttons, which were appearing regardless of their corresponding configuration setting.

Additionally, several stylesheet refinements were made to correct text positioning in the home navigation menu buttons, along with fixes for a small number of <div> elements that had incorrect CSS classes applied.

This release also introduces support for preserving custom comments in your /etc/csf/csf.conf file across updates. In previous versions, CSF compared your existing configuration against the default configuration shipped with each release, adding any missing settings as needed. This process resulted in the removal of any existing custom comments. With this update, custom comments are now retained, ensuring your configuration remains fully intact between upgrades.

Finally, a small bug was fixed regarding Messenger v1 related to reCAPTCHA tokens being truncated depending on the length of bytes. The limit has been increased to 4096 bytes, which provides approximately 4053 bytes for the token after accounting for the 43 bytes of URL overhead, comfortably accommodating current reCAPTCHA token sizes.

Release: v15.09

Release v15.09 is our biggest release to date, as it focuses on CSF stability, as well as bringing back some of the features that were available within our deprecated CSF mod, which is what the repository was originally dedicated to (this includes the dark theme).

We have revised almost every control panel across the board, including fixes to DirectAdmin, VestaCP, Webmin, and various others.

This release includes a major bug fix for DirectAdmin, as well as an updated module interface, and we have enabled automatic updates through the CSF DirectAdmin web interface. We also added a new DirectAdmin Installation Guide.

This release also resolves a few issues regarding the installation process, and includes multiple performance improvements that significantly increase file read efficiency.

We have re-added the original Dark Theme that was introduced back when our repository was a mod for CSF. There are still some adjustments to make, but you can now switch between the light and dark theme by pressing the theme button in the footer.

This release took significantly longer than expected. When development of CSF first started within our repository, our priority was to restore momentum and aim toward progress, which meant putting core systems in place quickly. While that approach allowed this project to move forward, it also meant that some foundations were assembled under time pressure.

Over the past two months, we’ve focused on revisiting and refining those systems, to ensure they’re built and integrated to the standard you’d expect from a developer who is delivering services to the public. This work spans both the backend infrastructure and CSF itself, resulting in a more stable, reliable, and maintainable platform moving forward.

Release: v15.08

Our v15.08 update delivers a cleaner, more reliable experience with a strong focus on bug fixes, third-party integration improvements, optimizations, and clearer user feedback during both installation and day-to-day operation.

This release includes significant fixes for CyberPanel and Control Web Panel, along with automatic Webmin module installation. This means that Webmin users no longer need to manually import the CSF module. It is now handled automatically as part of the installation process.

Release: v15.07

This update publicly launches our Insiders Program, offering early access to upcoming features and exclusive benefits.

It also resolves a CyberPanel integration issue that caused errors when saving your Firewall Configuration, alongside several minor bug fixes, maintenance improvements, and code refactoring.

Release: v15.02

The next release of ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) is here, and I wanted to take a moment to share an update on what’s coming next — including fixes, plans, and our broader direction moving forward. This post will cover integration improvements for both VestaCP and CyberPanel, as well as a look into the ongoing goals behind CSF’s continued progression.

Our focus remains on transparency, stability, and community involvement. Users deserve to know not only what’s changing, but why. By keeping everyone informed and maintaining compatibility across control panels, we aim to ensure that CSF continues to be the trusted, secure, and reliable firewall solution it has always been.
