OpenProject 13.1.0

Release date: 2023-12-13

We released OpenProject 13.1.0.

It brings significant enhancements in our Meetings module and various minor adjustments, such as the integration of Primer design system and the introduction of a high contrast mode to enhance OpenProject's accessibility.

For enterprise users, two additional features have been introduced to streamline workflow efficiency within OpenProject: the capability to share work packages externally and the debut of a OneDrive/SharePoint integration.

As always, this release contains several bug fixes and we recommend updating to the newest version.

Dynamic meetings and agenda items linked to work packages

You probably already know OpenProject's Meetings module. Formerly, this module restricted users to creating meeting agendas in a single text block. OpenProject 13.1 enables the creation and management of individual agenda items. This includes creating direct links to specific meetings from a work package and provides a comprehensive overview of the discussions and links directly to the meeting associated with the work package.

This feature, designed with the latest Primer UI components and UX patterns, is funded by the German Federal Ministry of the Interior and Home Affairs (BMI) as part of the openDesk project.

Please note: The already existing classic meetings will be removed with one of the upcoming releases and only the new dynamic meetings will remain. Migrations will be provided.

See our user guide to learn more about the updated meetings module and how to use it.

OneDrive/SharePoint integration (Enterprise add-on)

OpenProject already offered the file sharing integration with Nextcloud. However, we recognized that some customers use other document storage solutions, such as Microsoft SharePoint. This is why, alongside the already existing integration with Nextcloud, OpenProject 13.1 brings the new file sharing integration with OneDrive/SharePoint as an Enterprise add-on. This feature allows you to easily upload, link, and access SharePoint files directly from your work packages.

See our user guide to learn more about this Enterprise add-on and how to use the SharePoint integration.

Share work packages with external users and groups (Enterprise add-on)

With OpenProject 13.1 it is possible to share work packages with users and/or groups outside of your installation. This sharing feature is available as an Enterprise add-on. Work packages can now be shared with users or groups that have no permissions to see a particular project in its entirety, only allowing access to relevant work packages. This way, stakeholders can get easy access to relevant project information without having to see all of a project’s work packages.

See the user guide for instructions on how to use this new feature.

Attribute help texts are released into Community edition

With OpenProject 13.1, we released Attribute help texts for the Community edition. This allows providing explanatory help text for all project attributes, such as status, accountable or any custom field. The help text will be displayed as a small question mark icon beside the attribute, simplifying the input process and helping to avoid mistakes.

Accessibility improvements and high contrast mode

We continued to work on improving accessibility of OpenProject according to the WCAG 2.1 AA. You can now select to use a high contrast mode in your profile settings, which will override the current OpenProject theme and be especially valuable for OpenProject users with visual impairments.

Continued integration of Primer design system

With OpenProject 13.1 we have continued to integration the Primer Design system. This will especially be noticeable in the new features, such as the new Meetings module.

Discontinued support for Centos7 and SLES12

Support for packaged installations on Centos7 and SUSE Enterprise Linux 12 have been removed in 13.1.0 Both are nearing or have exceeded their EOL and packaged builds were failing prior to the release already. We will not provide additional support for these systems.

Users still required to run on these systems should consider upgrading to a supported version, or use our docker-based installation methods.

For more information, please see #51333 and our installation guides.

OpenProject 13.0.2

Release date: 2023-09-07

We released OpenProject 13.0.2.

This release contains several bug fixes. One of them we consider of high importance. We recommend updating to the newest version.

That important bug affected only OpenProject instances that use the
"Project folder" feature of the Nextcloud integration. That feature was
introduced just recently in version 13.0. We recommend an immediate update for all OpenProject instances that already make use of the "Project folder" feature.

The bug potentially gave OpenProject users access to project folders where
they should not. To receive this erroneous access, users need to rightfully have access to at least one other project folder. The permissions for that project folder are mistakenly copied over
to other project folders.

This only affects those users that have granted OpenProject access to their Nextcloud user via OAuth. Other users that do not have access rights to any project folder and have not granted access to Nextcloud via OAuth are not affected.

Bug fixes and changes

• Fixed: [AppSignal] Performance MessagesController#show [#47871]
• Fixed: Number of wp no longer shown in bars on the graph [#49767]
• Fixed: Not optimal texts for activity entry for migrated file links [#49770]

• Fixed: OAuth remapping of existing users using case sensitive login match while user registration does not [#49834]
• Fixed: Users SEEM to be able to reset password for invited, not yet activated accounts [#49836]
• Fixed: Fix untranslated strings [#49848]
• Fixed: Switch branch in repository doesn't do anything [#49852]
• Fixed: packager:postinstall task fails, if OPENPROJECT_HOST__NAME is set in environment [#49867]
• Fixed: Eager loading for API not working in parts leading to degraded performance [#49915]
• Fixed: Docker instance: No svn present in v13? [#49930]
• Fixed: Add in all reported missing translations [#49937]
