Software Update: Snipe-IT 4.6.18

Spread the love

Snipe-IT is an open source configuration management system that allows an IT department to track physical devices, licenses, and consumables. What was issued to whom, what was returned for repair, how many licenses are still available, when do the licenses expire, and so on. In addition, it can maintain a eula that end users must accept with new equipment, and labels can be printed and scanned. For more information, please refer to this page. The developers of Snipe-IT have released version 4.6.18 with the following list of changes:

New in v4.6.18

IMPORTANT: This IS THE final release of Snipe-IT that will work with PHP5. ALL future versions of Snipe-IT will require PHP 7.1.3 or greater.

This release is intended as a legacy release for users who will not be able to upgrade their version of PHP. If you are already running PHP7, you can skip this update and instead upgrade to 4.7, which will be released later today.

We upgraded some package dependencies to later versions for this release, however the we cannot upgrade the laravel framework itself due to PHP version constraints. Doing so would break the installations for everyone who is currently still running PHP 5x.

Users are strongly advised to upgrade their version of PHP so that they’re ready for v4.7 and then v5.
