The 1.1.2-2 release contains the following changes:
Overview
Kernel version:

- Removed a cpu usage kernel patch that was causing kernel panics.
Apache mod_betterlinux:
Added support for Apache 2.4.x
BL-Manager (WHM Plug-In):
Minor changes, including making licensing information visable from the "General" tab.
cpud:
-Resolved the reported cpud segfault libpthread-2.12.so error
-Performance improvements
Bandwidth Limiting:

CloakFS:

iothrottled:
No changes
MySQL version:

Upgrading BetterLinux:
To upgrade BetterLinux 1.1.2-2 on a CentOS 6.4 or 6.3 server, you must manually change the betterlinux.repo and betterlinux-cpanel.repo files in /etc/yum.repo.d. Change the baseurl line "$releaseever" references to either "6.4" or "6.3" and save the files.
Example change:
Before the change:
baseurl=http://repo.betterlinux.com/1.0/centos/$releasever/$basearch/Packages/
After the change:
baseurl=http://repo.betterlinux.com/1.0/centos/6.4/$basearch/Packages/
Then run this:
yum --disableexcludes=all upgrade betterlinux\*
If you plan to upgrade to CentOS 6.5, do the CentOS upgrade first; no repo file changes are required, just run the yum upgrade command like this:
yum --disableexcludes=all upgrade betterlinux\*
Then reboot your system.

This is large enough for jumbo frames, and is better than the
