Esprit Update: user management changeover, error reporting facility changes

A new esprit update has been pushed to the servers at this time introducing a new “Add User” interface and an enhanced error system designed to facilitate development.  Add User replaces the original Ensim version with our own spin, showcasing several features unique to apis.  IMAP/SMTP access, mailbox creation, FTP jailing, and subdomain restrictions have been introduced.  An interactive File Browser has been introduced as well with the custom FTP jails.  Filesystem autocomplete controls (Add Subdomain, File Manager) will be replaced by the new interface for the next update in 7 – 12 days.  Please let us know of any interface issues through the trouble ticket facility.  “Manage Users” will be replaced on this update.  Manage Users will require several hours of work to tie in the additional features, which shouldn’t preclude an early taste of a few new toys in user management.  😉

Error reporting has been overhauled and certain postbacks may appear erroneously as “failed” or “succeeded, with warnings”.  esprit’s horrendously inefficient exception handling routines have been replaced by error()/warn()/info()/debug() macros.  These macros introduce classes, which may result in unexpected behavior, e.g. failure being interpreted as a warning, warning interpreted as an error, unexpected successful return failure interpreted as a failure, etc.  esprit’s presentation layer is not regression tested as extensively as the backend modules, so if something seems odd, chances are it is (for right now).
Update (12/17 11:52 AM EST): one more outstanding bug has been fixed.  A conflict arose between Ensim and apnscp esprit resulting in Ensim pages from displaying correctly.  This has been resolved and the update has been pushed back to the servers.
