Important Notes
Please read Upgrading to 3.0 from 2.6 for important changes in this release.
Notable Changes
- New interface - The frontend and operator templates have been fully redesigned, with improved functionality and mobile support. A dark mode option is now available to set the interface to dark colours which reduces the light emitted by your device.
- 2FA for users, force for all - Users can now set up two-factor authentication (2FA) on their accounts for added security. 2FA can now also be enforced for all operators and/or users, so they must have it on their account to complete a login.
- Article feedback - The article feedback system has been redesigned so you can collect additional feedback when a user rates an article. It's now possible to set up a feedback form, in the same way you can for a ticket.
- Auto-response detection - Incoming emails that are automatic responses will now be detected, and any emails being sent back to the user will be stopped, helping to reduce the chance of email loops occurring.
- Ticket print view - A dedicated print view has been made available for tickets in the operator panel, accessible from the actions menu. Other pages, including the entire frontend, have been made more printer friendly also.
- FontAwesome icons for self-service types - Any regular FontAwesome icon can now be selected for self-service types to display on the frontend dashboard.
- LDAP accounts dual login disabled - LDAP linked operator accounts are now restricted to authentication via the LDAP service. If you need to login via both your help desk email / password and also the LDAP service then we've added a backwards compatible configuration option.
- New SAML functionality - It's now possible to handle key rollover for both the SupportPal service provider and also the IdP. For more information please see the updated configuration options.
As of this release, we are switching to the Semantic Versioning version naming scheme, please see the
End of Life Policy for more details.
Resource Changes
This release includes a new frontend and operator panel template, therefore every file in the template has changed and we are unable to provide a file comparison since the last release.
We've switched to brand new resources repositories, where the components have been split out to their own repository:
The old resources repository has now been retired and should no longer be used.
