The release of cPanel & WHM version 11.30 in EDGE is right around the corner. With this release we have made numerous changes, added a few features and fixed some bugs. Predominantly, these changes can be encompassed in a few bullet points: 

• Complete rewrite of update system
• Addition of Cpanel::PublicAPI
• Removal of Legacy Themes
• Several new API calls

Though each of these changes may seem small when listed as bullet points, there are a few details that you, as someone who customizes or integrates with cPanel & WHM should be aware of.

A while back, Matt Dees blogged about our upcoming change to LivePHP in 11.28. Specifically, he mentions the use of JSON. In this article I will illustrate, in brief, why this change was made. The decision process, as you'll see, wasn't exactly straight forward, but a solid compromise.
