===================
Tenon:  How come we find out about iTools 8 release from OTHER 
sources? Why doesn't Tenon announce it on this list, FIRST??? It 
would make sense as we're the core users. We're the guys with a 
vested interest in the product. Why aren't we given first 
consideration?
===================

Here's what MacNN says:

Tenon today announced iTools 8, a new version of its web hosting 
control panel software. iTools simplifies and automates Apache 
configuration and can be used as a website management system, 
allowing full automation of tasks and delegation of administration: 
sub-administrators can manage their own name or IP-based web sites 
and view their own logs, without compromising the privacy of the 
multi-server machine. iTools offers secure, domain-specific , 
browser-based Apache administration, using a sixth generation suite 
of tools. The new iTools 8, includes Apache 2.0.54 and the latest 
proFTPD with TLS/SSL support, enhanced DNS management, enhanced 
sub-administration, and a suite of pre-packaged, pre-configured 
open-source applications for blogs, discussion boards, photo albums, 
and more.

In addition, iTools 8 includes the ability to disable and enable a 
website a single click, the ability to hand-tailor a default web site 
template to make setting up similar sites easy and fast, optional use 
of encryption during browser-based configuration sessions, the 
flexibility to restart various server daemons either manually or 
automatically upon configuration changes, FastCGI support, extensive 
log viewing options on a virtual host-by-virtual host basis, and an 
automatic system update facility both for iTools updates and updates 
to add-on packages.

iTools offers a sophisticated, in-depth, browser-based GUI that 
includes URL rewriting, URL redirects, MIME type and Apache handler 
editing, setting up SSL, along with a host of other Apache-specific 
settings. Users manage cron jobs (to automatically perform 
administration tasks at pre-set intervals), administer MySQL 
databases via phpMyAdmin, and setup WebDAV for collaborative web 
development.

iTools 8 is $350. A companion mail server and list server, 
Post.Office, is available in special iTools bundles. Upgrades for 
existing iTools customers are $250. iTools is compatible with Tiger, 
Panther, and Jaguar.
