Version 0.8.0 delivers a series of bug fixes, feedback responses, and task-driven enhancements that improve user experience, visual elements, and virtual machine (VM) management functionalities. This release also includes optimisations to make MultiPortal more intuitive and responsive, particularly in the virtual data center (VDC) operations and resource handling.

New Features & Enhancements

• Tenant Backup Management: Tenants can now create and manage backup schedules of their VMs and perform restorations, leveraging the native Proxmox backup support. 
• Task History: Introduced a dedicated task history feature, allowing users to track and manage past actions within the platform against Virtual Machines.
• Branding: Enhanced customisation with new branding options to match the portal’s appearance with organisational identity.
• ISO Management: Users can now unmount ISOs from virtual machines without needing to remove the entire disk drive, adding flexibility to VM setup and management.
• VDC Page Optimisation: Enhanced performance and layout adjustments on the Virtual Data Center (VDC) view page for smoother navigation and quicker data loading particularly where a large number of VMs are being managed. 
• Console Log Timestamps: Console logs now display in the server’s local timezone, moving away from UTC-only timestamps.

Bug Fixes

• VM Import Failure: Fixed an issue where importing a VM of type “Other” would result in failure. This process now functions smoothly across VM types.
• Snapshot Display Issue: Resolved a bug preventing newly created snapshots from appearing in the Snapshots section. Snapshots are now displayed immediately after creation.
• Reseller Dropdown Overlap: Adjusted the Reseller dropdown to prevent overlapping with the Update Reseller User modal, enhancing usability in user management.
• Error Reporting: Improved the export functionality of the error reports, sanitising data and allowing for larger exports.

Feedback-Based Improvements

• Parameter Clarity: Addressed user feedback on parameter clarity. Updated descriptions and tooltips to ensure expected values are explicit and reduce user confusion when managing Data Centers.
• API Resource Information: Based on user feedback, the API was enhanced to improve visibility into allocated RAM and CPU core resources for more accurate resource tracking and billing procedures. 

With version 0.8.0, MultiPortal takes another step towards delivering a seamless, user-centered experience for virtual data center management. Whether it’s setting backup schedules, tracking task history, or managing resources with increased visibility, this update provides the tools and enhancements our users need to maintain efficient, responsive, and secure VDC environments.
