🚀 XC_VM v2.4.3

✨ New Features

• Added automatic IP unban functionality with a configurable expiration period for automatically created bans.
• Added GeoIP2 ISP database support and automatic population of blocked ASNs.
• Added dynamic FFmpeg build discovery and capability detection, including improved ffmpeg_gpu configuration support.
• Added synchronization of the xc_fanout daemon configuration with panel settings.
• Added a new structured global search API, with search results returned as JSON and rendered as dynamic cards.
• Added versioned documentation releases using MkDocs Mike.

♻️ Major Refactoring

• Completely refactored the Admin AJAX API architecture — legacy api.php functionality has been split into dedicated controllers for:

  • Cache and handlers
  • Servers and operations
  • Blocklists and security
  • Devices
  • EPG
  • Users and lines
  • Streams and VOD
  • Packages, bouquets and groups
  • Statistics and graphs
  • Backups, logs and reports
  • Providers and miscellaneous actions
  • Search and bulk actions

• Moved AJAX controllers into the dedicated Admin\Ajax namespace.

• Replaced legacy global admin_constants with reference classes and enums.

• Removed the obsolete config/permissions.php, now superseded by PermissionReference.

• Moved language files closer to the Translator implementation and removed the global $language dependency.

• Renamed the Unstable update channel to Beta throughout the panel.

• Removed hardcoded FFmpeg 4.0 assumptions in favor of dynamic build detection.

🛠 Bug Fixes & Stability

• Improved xc_fanout reliability with:

  • Single-instance protection using flock
  • Automatic cleanup of orphaned daemon processes
  • Automatic respawning of the keepalive supervisor
  • Release cache cleanup during forced binary updates

• Fixed Enigma bulk operations in the multi-action API.

• Fixed stream control responses to return a structured JSON envelope instead of raw relay output.

• Fixed undefined-key and null-value warnings across multiple components.

• Added handling for missing Certbot log directories.

• Removed a redundant GeoIP null check identified by PHPStan.

• Improved FFmpeg configuration handling and GPU binary selection.

🔧 Maintenance

• Updated bundled phpMiniAdmin to version 1.9.251125.
• Updated the phpstan/phpstan dependency.
• Normalized Admin route section headers.
• Improved and expanded developer documentation for the Admin AJAX API and structured search.
• Added documentation versioning for published releases.

XC_VM v2.4.3 delivers a major cleanup of the Admin API architecture, improved security automation, stronger daemon reliability, and more flexible GeoIP and FFmpeg handling.
