Important for Upgrading

Please consult our admin manual for detailed instructions.

  • Updated third party libraries: jquery to 3.5.1, fullcalendar to 3.10.2, fullcalendar-scheduler to 1.10.1 and spectrum to 1.8.1.
  • Added support for ElasticSearch 7.
  • Fixed small visual issue when comparing SysConfig settings.

Bug Fixes

  • Bug#15222 – Agents are not able to login because of to small data_key in the sessions table. Issue can occur when LDAP is used and it contains large records.
  • Fixed Ticket#2020083142001015 – Added export ticket list feature in the External Interface.
  • Bug#15246 – Default encryption setting on queue is ignored.
  • Bug#15272 – Base64 encode adds unwanted space in authorization REST header.
  • Bug#15239 – In action AgentTicketMove the Priority value is not pre-filled.
  • Bug#14866 – When there is at least on article in the process ticket, a link “Add another message” appears. We already have the button Respond to ticket with same functionality.
  • Reverted fix for Bug#14722 – Debug messages are shown as Daemon errors.
  • Bug#15259 – GPG 2 “selecting card failed” message provokes false decryption errors. This normally is not a hard error and does not indicate that the decryption has failed, but OTRS PGP parsing looks for the ‘failed’ word in the message, provoking and abnormal operation as this is interpreted as a decryption failure.
  • Reverted fix for Bug#14203 – GET method in web services processes entity-body message from request.
  • Bug#15232 – Using “0” as key in dynamic fields of type multiselect is not working. The value can’t be selected, or it causes error.
