KaevCMS 0.53.1
Published: 2026-10-23 · Type: Stable release
What's new
Added
- New administration dashboard: key figures, online, registration and top-up charts, and a "Needs attention" list.
- Chart periods: 30 days, 7 days, 24 hours, 5 hours, 1 hour; chart details can be pinned with a click.
- The online chart shows the total and each game server; servers are chosen with checkboxes.
- Server online history for 35 days.
- A "Test" button for YooMoney notifications: a window waits for the test notification sent from YooMoney and shows whether the address and the secret match.
- A "Wide logo" option in the site settings: the logo fills the top of the administration and player account menus.
- An "Open" button on module cards and a confirmation before disabling a module.
- The Inter font now ships with the CMS.
Changed
- The website is noticeably faster: 2.2 times more pages per second and fewer database queries on every page.
- Laravel caches are built automatically; there is no need to run
php artisan optimize. - Characters and avatars load faster in the player account.
- Refreshed administration look: restrained styling, thin menu icons, sliding menu sections.
- The administration dark theme is charcoal instead of navy; main buttons are monochrome and selected tabs neutral.
- One administration theme button: light → dark → system, with a smooth transition.
- The administration panel shows the site name from the settings and the uploaded logo.
- Player support works like a chat: messages grouped by day, Ctrl + Enter to send, ticket details on the right, and a new ticket form.
- Language choice is a compact drop-down menu on the website, in the player account and in the administration panel, including on phones.
- "About the server" and "Download the game" are ordinary pages: theme buttons open the pages with the addresses
aboutanddownloads, and they can be edited or deleted freely. - A language without its own page address takes the address from another language; a new page is published on save.
- Top-up opens from the wallet; the extra "Add coins" item left the player account menu.
- A "Delete" button replaces the checkbox for the logo, favicon and wallet icon.
- Thin scrollbars in the player account.
- The mail queue pauses while the mail provider is unreachable and keeps retrying for up to 30 minutes.
- Documentation updated; outdated pages removed.
Fixed
- The Donations module did not install or update on MariaDB before 10.10 and MySQL 5.7.
- On the same servers, dates in several tables were overwritten on every record update.
- Module pages disappeared after
php artisan optimize. - Search fields in administration filters looked different from other fields.
- The reward list on the promo codes page widened the page on phones.
- The currency name in the Donations settings broke letter by letter.
- The language list in the player account header opened higher than the wallet and profile menus.
- The close cross of the top-up window was off centre.
- A long support chat opened at the start instead of the newest message.
- A cropped logo was shown instead of an empty news block.
- Various minor interface and stability issues.

After the bridge the panel shows version 0.53.0-bridge — this is expected; install the cumulative package right after it. After updating, open Modules and apply the pending module updates. The existing about and downloads pages keep their text; the server list is no longer added under the About text.
