for your help desk to match your needs. Users can register for accounts via the client portal and can now login with a username and password instead of email and ticket number. We also have a forgot-my-password link and several other new minor adjustments to the user profile. ### External Authentication Support Use third-party SSO to authenticate your users and staff. Initial support include OAuth2 and LDAP (v0.5 of the LDAP plugin is required) ### User Directory Search, view, and manage, even delete! contact information from the users from whom you receive tickets. Staff can also manually register users and even set an initial password. Users can also be imported and exported via CSV data. ### Organizations Organize your users together into organizations. Organizations can have internal owners ("Account Manager") and external owners ("Primary Contact"). The Account Manager can receive new ticket and new message alerts. Organization Primary Contacts and members can be automatically added to tickets as collaborators. ### User and Organization Notes Quickly view, edit, add and remove pertinent notes on your users and organizations ### Form Management Staff members can now add, delete, and sort forms attached to tickets, users and organizations as well as remove stale data where fields have been retired from active forms. ### Custom Properties for Lists Add properties to your list items and use it in your email templates and pages. For example create an address property to a list of locations. List items can also be disabled now, which causes them to be hidden from selection. ### PJAX page loading For browsers supporting PJAX, navigating around the system will see a performance improvement

owner, other end users can be collaborators on a ticket. Responses received from them are integrated automatically into the ticket thread, and emails are sent to all collaborators when new messages and responses arrive into the system. All collaborators have access to the ticket via the client portal and are able to log new messages. ### Plugin management system osTicket supports plugins via a (currently undocumented) simple plugin API and interface. Plugins can be written and distributed as files or unpacked via ZIP archives, or distributed via PHP PHAR files. The plugin system is developed in hopes of adding extensibility to osTicket without significant overhead. Initially, two "classes" of plugins are supported: authentication, and file storage. ### Pluggable authentication Staff members can now be authenticated against a backend other than the osTicket internal database. Available immediately is integration with LDAP (RFC-2307) and Microsoft® Active Directory. The initial authentication system also support user lookups, so when browsing for new users when creating tickets, your directory server will be queried for users and email addresses. ### Pluggable attachment storage Attachments can live outside the database again. You can now write or install a plugin to store your attachments somewhere other than in your database, and osTicket will use the backend to store and retrieve (or redirect to) your attachments. We've initially made a plugin available to store attachments on the filesystem and plan on adding an Amazon S3 plugin very soon. ### Internationalization, Phase 1 Select your default data on installation, and select the language preference, as a staff member, for the help tips. You can also now select the language of the email templates when creating a new template. The templates for that language will be used instead of the English ones where translated versions are available. ### Minor Enhancements * Clients can update their profile information on the web portal * Clients can update ticket details (if enabled) * Custom ticket-details fields are included in ticket queue exports osTicket v1.8.0.2 ================= ### Enhancements * HTML editor has an underline button (#377) * New ticket form pre-selects default priority (#400) * Help topics do not require an associated priority (#397) * Extra fields associated with help topics are shown above the ticket-details form (#398) * Auto-complete is supported on email address fields (#401) * Choice fields allow specification of a prompt and default value (#427) * Email template page makes templates easier to manage (#417) * New ticket user-lookup popup supports cancel (#434) ### Bugs * Ticket locks are correctly released (#335) * Pages show inline images correctly (8a1f4e6) * Internet Explorer compatibility view is disabled for the scp (#368) * *regression* Staff no longer receive attachments on alerts (#379) * Emails correctly differentiate HTML and text versions (#212, #384) * Ticket queue counts are correct for limited users (#298, #389) * Phone number field might be a text box (#390) * Fix incorrect ticket rejection for new ticket by staff (#425) * Fix crash of cron executions on some platforms (#421) * `realpath` may fail on some Windows® platforms (#424, cff8db8) * Fix incorrect handling of typeahead list fields with leading numeric chars (#422) ### Performance and Security * Ticket queue has significantly better performance (#357, #388, #413, a03dec5, 31bb4ac, e9a3b98) * Remove several unnecessary queries (#415) * Password reset attempts are logged (#435) * Handle garbage username input for password reset (344c95f) ### Upstream 1.7 Commits * Database hostname supports local socket specified as localhost:/path/to/socket (osTicket/osTicket-1.7#864) * Upgrader correct upgrades the ban list from 1.6.

You can now ask any information relevant to your business practice, and can customize the type of input show from the user. Currently, short and long answer fields, drop-down lists, checkboxes, date and time, and phone number fields are available. Each field is configurable and can be setup according to your liking. Fields can also be marked as required, whose input is required to submit the ticket, and internal, whose input is not visible to the end user. osTicket v1.7.3 =============== ### Enhancements * Ticket thread items are now available for email templates (#790) * Support MySQL servers on a non-standard port number, which is also not set in the `php.ini` file (#775) ### Bugfixes * Fix email handling where the character set advertised is `us-ascii` but `iso-8859-1` was intended (#770) * Ticket source is now editable (#772, #777) * Email parsing would crash if `Reply-To` header was not found (#780) * CSRF token creation would fail on some Windows installations (#771, #776) * Tickets without an SLA set would never go overdue (#757, #767) * FAQ search now hits category names (#781) * FAQ search hits are sorted by article title now (#786) * Email replies with nothing before the quoted response marker should remain as is (#787) * CAPTCHA responses are now considered case-insensitive (#823) * `References` email header how includes the parent email `Message-Id` (#825) * Email attachment parsing would crash if the `Content-Disposition` header had no parameters (#828) * Date format on the jQuery-UI datepicker is admin configurable now (#829) ### Performance * Scanning deleting orphaned files is much faster (#773, #778) osTicket v1.7.2 =============== ### Enhancements * The ticket number is no longer required in the subject line and staff can reply to emails and create an internal note (*released in v1.7.1.2*) * Show customized site logo on PDF output (#763) * Support deployment for initial install with cli deploy script (#750) * Require complete regression test pass before packaging new release (#751) * Die with HTTP/500 for misconfiguration or database connect failure (#762) ### Bug fixes * Detect and import inline attachments without a Content-Disposition header (#737) * Show correct template description *again* (#742, #743) * Import attachments from emails continuing a ticket thread (*regression introduced in v1.7.1.2*) (#745) * Support UTF-8 encoded filenames for fetched emails (#738) * Disable Kerberos and NTLM authentication in mail fetching (#739) * Forbid empty reply-separator setting (#752) * Only email administrators for log messages that would be written to the database (#754) * Emails fetched and rejected by a ticket filter that are not deleted or moved to a folder will not be re-fetched and re-rejected (#755) * Workaround for some mail clients' inability to properly decode quoted-printable encoded emails (#760) * Inline text bodies are incorrectly detected as attachments without a filename (#761) * Properly decode and display some international chars in PDF printing (#765) * Do not double encode XML entities in ticket thread titles (#718, #567) * Display correct template description on edit (#724, #727) * Fix download of attachments with commas (',') in the filename (#702) * Fix incorrect content-type header for CAPTCHA (#699) ### Security * Require email address match if ticket number is matched in subject line and neither references or in-reply-to headers match an existing ticket thread item (*regression introduced in v1.7.1.2*) (#748) ### Performance * Address database performance issue scanning for orphaned file_chunk records (#764) osTicket v1.7.1 =============== ### Bugfixes * Properly reject attachments submitted via the API (#668) * Correctly support the "Use Reply-To" in ticket filters (#669) * Don't log users out after changing username or email address (#684) * Don't leak private FAQ article titles (#683) osTicket v1.7.1-rc1 =================== ### Enhancements * Custom logos and site pages (#604, #632, #616) * Password reset link (#638) * Export and import feature.

For matching emails, the administrator has the ability to automatically route tickets: * To a specific department, staff member, and/or team * Automatically assign ticket priority and/or service-level-agreement * Disable ticket auto-responses * Send automatic canned responses Tickets filters are also applied to tickets submitted via all ticket interfaces, including the API, email, staff and client web interfaces. And, as a bonus, the filters can be configured to target only a single interface. So an administrator could, for instance, target tickets received via email from a particular domain. Canned Attachments ------------------ Attach files to your canned responses. These attachments are automatically attached to the ticket thread along with the canned response. The attachments are not duplicated in the database and therefore use virtually no space. Database-backed Attachments --------------------------- No more crazy security-related configuration to your host server in order to support attachments. Attachments are now quietly stored in the database. The upgrade migration will automatically port attachments from the previous locations into the database. Service Level Agreements ------------------------ Service level agreements allow for a configurable grace period based on the department or help topic associated with the ticket. A default SLA is provided, and a due date can be set to override the grace period of the SLA for a ticket. Client-side Knowledgebase ------------------------- Manage a searchable help document portal for your users Dashboard Reports ----------------- Flashy reports of ticket system activity as well as exportable ticket system statistics, allowing for easy report generation from office spreadsheet applications. Ticket Export ------------- Convert the ticket thread to a printed format for long term storage. The ticket view page now supports a print feature, which will render the ticket as a PDF document. API --- Interface with osTicket via HTTP requests. Starting with version 1.7, tickets are createable by submitting an HTTP POST request to either /api/tickets.xml /api/tickets.json The API can also be used to pipe emails into the osTicket system. Use the included `automail.php` or `automail.pl` script to pipe emails to the system, or post raw email messages directly to /api/tickets.email Use of the API requires an API key, which can be created and configured in the admin panel of the support system. For technical details, please refer to [API Docs] (setup/doc/api.md). Geeky New Features ================== Unicode ------- Better and more consistent international text handling Flexible Template Variables --------------------------- Template variables have been redesigned to be more flexible. They have been integrated into the respective object classes so that an object as well as its properties can be represented in template variables. For instance %{ticket.staff.name}
