<![CDATA[hMailServer 6.1.0: the Web Control Deck and a light/dark Administrator]]>6.1.0 is a user interface release. It adds the Web Control Deck, a web admin UI served directly by the built-in REST API listener, and rebuilds the desktop Administrator around a full light/dark theme engine. The server core is unchanged from 6.0.0 build 4 apart from the new web-page endpoint.

Web Control Deck

Enable RestApiPort in hMailServer.INI and browse to the server. No extra components are required. It carries a live dashboard with animated counters and session stats, domain and account management, retry and delete on the delivery queue, and publish-ready DANE TLSA records. Light and dark themes with a toggle. Sign-in uses the administrator credential.

Administrator (desktop)

  • Deep-space dark and clean light palettes applied across every pane and dialog, including dark window title bars, native dark scrollbars and themed menus
  • Theme toggle in the View menu. It follows the Windows app-mode preference by default, and the choice is persisted
  • Ctrl+K command palette, fuzzy-searching every settings page and jumping straight to it
  • Modernised dashboard with glow accents, eased value animations and hover-highlight stat cards

Installer

Modern wizard branding, and it ships the WebAdmin payload.

The release was validated by the full regression suite: 898/898 tests passing, zero failures, against a MariaDB backend with live SpamAssassin and ClamAV and TLS 1.2/1.3 end to end.
