    Fixed: Can't locate object method "remove" via package "iMSCP::File" (iMSCP::Service)
    Fixed: Don't flush server data as those can be required by 3rd-party (Httpd server implementations)
    Fixed: Error output is badly captured, leading to 'Unknown error' (named-compilezone / Bind9 server implementation)
    Fixed: SysVinit scripts are always reported as enabled (Debian SysVinit init provider)
    Fixed: The 'is-enabled' support for SysVinit scripts isn't available in older systemd versions (Debian Systemd init provider)
    Fixed: The 'imscp_panel' service is always restarted even when it should not (FrontEnd dpkg(1) post invoke tasks)
    Moved: engine/setup/imscp-setup-methods.pl to engine/PerlLib/imscp-setup-methods.pl
    Removed: Deprecated VHCS/ispCP core libraries (those were required by the software installer only)
    Removed: Software installer (packages were not maintained since more than 2 years, leading to several security issues)
    Renamed: iMSCP::Database::MySQL package to iMSCP::Database::MySQL
    Review: Don't propagate entity processing failures to DB task processor. Update entities status with error only
    Review: Engine permissions (Bind9 server implementation)

    Review: Make use of DBIx::Connector - Fast, safe DBI connection and transaction management (with backward compatibility in mind)
