New in v5

IMPORTANT: This version of Snipe-IT requires PHP 7.1.3 or greater.

We're thrilled to announce the beta release of the long-awaited Snipe-IT v5! Lots of stuff is changed under the hood, as we've upgraded the underlying framework to Laravel 5.7, but there are tons of bugfixes and new features, as well as some UI improvements.

One of the bigger changes to the system is the introduction of Flysystem support, which means you can host your asset uploads, logos, etc on S3 or Rackspace.

We've also reworked a lot of the backend LDAP functionality and made the UI on the LDAP settings page a little easier to use.

The small things matter as much to us as the big ones do, so we've spent some time trying to really refine some of the commonly used UI elements, for example the improved logo upload+preview interface:

Additionally, we've cleaned up the contextual help, and added a Save button at the top of forms that tend to run a little longer.

Plus, we have (very basic) client-side validation to help give you more immediate feedback if you've missed a required field in the forms.

But wait - there's more! Here's a full list of the changes:

Documentation

Want to Help Test?

Awesome! First things first, you should NOT test this in production yet, as it's a beta release. If you'd like to help us test, make a new copy of Snipe-IT and upgrade your copy to v5.0.0-beta-1.0, that way your data is safe. You should treat this test instance as a version you could easily throw away when you're done testing. (Hopefully it won't come to that, but hey, computers are hard.)

Things we're very interested in folks testing:

  • LDAP/AD integration (login and sync)
  • Using S3 to store files. We've built a little tool to help you migrate your local files to S3, which you can read about here.
  • Client-side validation

If you need to create new bug reports for this beta release, please make sure you include the beta release version in the Github issue title so we can easily see that it's an issue specific to this beta.
