Release notes for version: 14.10.0

Technological stack

This section is important for Server solution. Cloud users need not worry about any of this.

OS: Debian 12* on amd64 architecture
Redmine: upgradable from version 5.1.8
Ruby: 3.3.7
Bundler: 2.3.7+
Rubygems: 3.3.x
Database: Percona/MySQL 8
redis-server: 7+
NodeJS: 22.13
Docker engine: 27.3.1
Docker compose: 2.29.7

Before every application upgrade, please carefully refer to all release notes between your existing version and the new version - there may be critical technical or functional changes explained.

*Debian 11 is still LTS, which means it is still supported by Debian creators. However, some new packages coming in the future will slowly but surely cease to work on Debian 11, which means there is no reason to unnecessarily postpone your OS upgrade.

Ruby and NodeJS are strictly mandatory, without these versions you will not be able to run Easy Redmine.

Or, forget about the management of technological stack and use Docker deployment. It combines the security of on-premises solution with nearly the comfort of cloud solution.

Instant change of SLA data based on task edit

Changing the status, priority, or tracker on a task will now instantly update the SLA information (name, status, remaining time, duration, deadline) both on the task detail and in the quick task editor, ensuring you always see the most current SLA data without needing to reload the page.

Help desk SLA fixes

After rolling out the SLA upgrade in 14.9, there were issues (as expected) which needed a fix. The more pressing ones have been fixed into bug fixing versions, some others went into 14.10 to allow more proper testing and validations.

Hidden treasures - security and stability

Smaller changes are listed in the changelog. The rest are invisible to users, but critical for bots, scanners and code standards, the continuous improvement never ends.
