Centmin Mod 123.08beta03 branch released

Centmin Mod LEMP stack is one step closer to the next version being stable. Centmin Mod .08 beta 03 has just been released on the github repository for 123.08beta03 branch. The .08 betas have had an unusually long time in beta due to ironing out CentOS 7.x support and adding and improving Centmin Mod LEMP features.

Some new features added to 123.08beta03 branch include:

• Beta Branch - Centmin Mod Nginx live vhost traffic statistics preview & discussion
• Beta Branch - Centmin Mod Nginx + Lua + LuaJIT support preview / discussions
• Beta Branch - New .08 beta menu option - updating Centmin Mod via git
• Beta Branch - add downloads/svr-setup.zip with local copy of source downloads
• SSL - Nginx and LibreSSL alternative to OpenSSL
• Clang compiler support as alternative to gcc for select software like Nginx and PHP
• Updated PHP 7.0.0 Alpha 1 and 7.0 master branch support
• SSH command line support for adding Nginx vhosts + vhost SPDY SSL support
• Basic Multiple PHP-FPM pool support for 4 additional pools

Full .08 betas change log:

• CentOS 7.x - Centmin Mod .08 change log (work in progress)

As you can see, .08 will most like be the first release that will be fully downloaded from github for zip file and repo downloads - so I will no longer maintain a local centminmod.com based download. Makes it much easier to maintain

New centmin.sh menu option 22 and option 23
