Caution

This version of Snipe-IT REQUIRES PHP 8.2.0 or greater.

Happy Monday (again!) We're thrilled to release v8 of Snipe-IT!

felicia-yay

We released the final version in the v7 line earlier today (7.1.17) so that folks who for some reason can't upgrade PHP to 8.2+ would still have a final release to use, but of course, we encourage everyone to bring their PHP versions into LTS compliance. If you skipped that upgrade (understandably, since it was just released today), you can see the other changelog here: v7.1.16...v8.0.0

Here's the highlight reel:

  • Custom fields on checkin/checkout! (Documentation updates coming shortly)
  • Breadcrumbs for better UX
  • Better tooltips to explain icons on very tab-dense screens
  • You can now add arbitrary notes to assets
  • Added Oromo (Ethiopian) as a language

This brings our version of Laravel (the framework we use) and the PHP dependencies into LTS (Laravel 11 is in LTS for another year and PHP 8.2's security support is for another two years.) We'll be yanking Snipe-IT into v12 of Laravel soon, but the system requirements won't change, so you won't have to worry about that as long as you're on PHP 8.2 or better.

We're also really pretty excited about the UX improvements - we hope they make your life easier.

Big thanks to asnyder from the MacAdmins slack for some early testing work, and as always, huge thanks @swift2512 for their relentless pursuit of a better UX. ❤️
