Caution

This version of Snipe-IT REQUIRES PHP 8.2.0 or greater, 8.3+ recommended.

Happy Tuesday! This release introduces an updated UI, improved searching, and fixes several security issues. All users are encouraged to upgrade.

A lot of what we've been working on has been under the hood - code improvements to make it easier for us to more quickly and reliably act on things you folks have been asking for. They don't look like a lot on the face, but they're important to get the project to a state where we can move a bit faster.

As such, you will definitely want to run php artisan view:clear to clear your old cached views. If you're using the upgrade.php script, it will do that for you, so no need to worry about it.

As you'll notice, we did switch up the UI on detail pages a bit. We've introduced a new component that we're calling the "info panel".

Screen.Recording.2026-03-20.at.5.42.43.PM.mov

It might be a little confusing to start with, but we think you're really going to like it. For all "first class objects", all of the most common information will now be available consistently, in the same place, every time.

The new info panel includes copy-to-clipboard functionality for just about everything, and if you don't need that information and want to work with the wider table view, just click on the arrow button to hide it. The show/hide is stored in local storage, so it will remember whether you wanted it open or not as you navigate through the system. The hover tooltips will give you more information when it's available or necessary.

We've tried to listen to feedback about the most important elements that people care about when they are viewing an item's detail page and give those priority. We know change is hard though, so keep that feedback coming. We can't promise we can act on every piece of feedback we get, but we listen to all of it and ultimately are committed to making your experience with the product as good as it can be.

At the end of the day, any time you change the UI on anything, people will have Big Feelings. Some of the feedback we've gotten so far is really positive, some less so - but we're always listening, even if you fall on the "less so" side of things.

We've also introduced some mobile navigation improvements, turning the tabbed interface into a dropdown on very small screens.

A quick mea culpa to our hosted customers

In the process of migrating some of you to newer, faster machines, some of you were upgraded a little earlier than we had planned, while things weren't quite polished up. Many of you have reached out via the helpdesk and we've gotten you sorted, but we're sorry that happened. We would have at least wanted to give you a heads up about the UI changes.

We always want the hosted experience to be the most excellent way to use Snipe-IT, and this past week was a little rockier for some of you. We're taking steps to make sure that doesn't happen again when we need to migrate customers from one server to another.

What's Next

We have an upgrade to Laravel 12 sitting on develop which will fully support PHP 8.5, and very shortly after that, group support for SCIM.

Potentially Breaking Changes

The filters for asset status type, (Pending, RTD, Archived, Deleted, etc) have been changed from status=Archived to status_type=Archived.

Documentation Platform Bugs

Our current documentation platform is having some issues and some pages might not be available. After many hours talking to their support (and their stupid AI chatbot), we're going to have to revert some of the formatting on many of the pages to get them to render. How did this happen? No idea. We didn't change anything. But we need to get those pages back online for you and new folks who want to install Snipe-IT. If you get an error in the docs saying that the page cannot be rendered, just open a GH issue and we'll jump right on that. We have a lot of docs to get through, and we're starting with the most common pages first.

Mobile App Update

We've created a Google Form so we can start tracking people who want in on the Testflight invite. Please fill in this form if you're interested in helping us test! https://forms.gle/HEsWuHSqLLjx8xnR8.
