Icinga Web Version 2.11.0
What's New in Version 2.11.0
You can find all issues related to this release on our Roadmap.
Enhancements, Some
Many of you were waiting for it: PHP 8.1 Support. This means that Icinga Web should be available soon on e.g. Ubuntu 22.04. You'll also notice that we changed the sidebar, as the user menu went to the very bottom of it. With it moved the less frequently used menu entries (system and configuration) to a section that pops up by hovering over the ⚙️ icon. We did that in order to prepare an area where we can add further functionality in the future. Oh, and announcements are now visible in fullscreen mode. 🙃
Fixes, More
There are also bug fixes of course. The first mentioned here is one we fixed accidentally, as by adding support for PHP 8.1 we avoided a common PHP quirk responsible for it. If you have a host or service with an asterisk in the name, it will show up correctly in the detail view now. There was also a remaining issue with the theme mode selection in the user preferences which is fixed now.
- Navigation item filter
*not working #4772 - Objects with a
*in the name are not found #4682 - Theme mode switch disabled on theme with mode support #4744
When developers become cleaning maniacs
Usually I write a short note at the start of release notes to make you read the upgrading documentation. This time however, a more prominent hint is required. We've removed so much (legacy) stuff, anyone tasked with upgrading is obliged to read the upgrading documentation. The changes mentioned below only provide a glimpse at it.
