Release Note

OTRS 7 Patch Level 19

July 20, 2020 — OTRS Group, the world’s leading provider of the OTRS service management suite, including the fully managed OTRS solution and the ITIL® V3-compliant IT service management software OTRS::ITSM, today announces the first release of the OTRS 7 patch level 19.

 

Important for Upgrading

Please consult our admin manual for detailed instructions.

Enhancements

  • Updated translations, thanks to all translators.
  • Improved session handling.
  • Improved link recognition in HTMLUtils::LinkQuote for complex hash parameters (PR#2016).
  • Fixed npm audit issues.
  • Added support for Node v14.
  • Fixed elasticsearch errors during the indexing of complex dynamic field values such as arrays or hashes.
  • Changed shebang command line of Perl scripts from /usr/bin/perl (which hardcodes the system Perl) to /usr/bin/env perl (which uses the first found Perl from the $PATH). This should not cause any changes on systems where there is only one Perl installed, but more predictable behavior on systems which have an additional “custom” Perl installed.
  • Changed default value of the setting CustomerUserNameFieldsJoin in the Defaults.pm from empty string to a single space.
  • Added logging channels and related defaults options for document search.
