### What's New in Version 2.6.0

You can find issues and features related to this release on our [Roadmap](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/milestone/48?closed=1).

#### Enabling you to do stuff you couldn't before

* Support for PHP 7.2 added
* Support for SQLite resources added
* Login and Command (monitoring) auditing added with the help of a dedicated [module](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-audit)
* Pluginoutput rendering is now hookable by modules which allows to render custom icons, emojis and .. cute kitties :octocat:

#### Avoiding that you miss something

* It's now possible to toggle between list- and grid-mode for the host- and servicegroup overviews
* The servicegrid now supports to flip its axes which allows it to be put into a [landscape mode](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/pull/3449#issue-185415579)
* Contacts only associated with services are visible now when restricted based on host filters
* Negated and combined membership filters now work as expected ([#2934](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/issues/2934))
* A more prominent error message in case the monitoring backend goes down
* The filter editor doesn't get cleared anymore upon hitting Enter

#### Making your life a bit easier

* The tactical overview is now filterable and can be safely put into [the dashboard](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/pull/3446#issue-185379142)
* It is now possible to register new announcements over the [REST Api](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/issues/2749#issuecomment-279667189)
* Filtering for custom variables now works in UTF8 environments

#### Ensuring you understand everything

* The monitoring health is now beautiful to look at and properly behaves in [narrow environments](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/pull/3515#issue-200075373)
* Updated German localization
* Updated Italian localization

#### Freeing you from unrealiable things

* Removed support for PHP < 5.6
* Removed support for persistent database connections

### What's New in Version 2.5.3

You can find issues and features related to this release on our [Roadmap](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/milestone/50?closed=1).

#### Fixes

A fix for an issue introduced with v2.5.2 that prevented service-only contacts from appearing in the UI resulted in long
database response times and has been reverted.

### What's New in Version 2.5.2

You can find issues and features related to this release on our [Roadmap](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/milestone/49?closed=1).

#### UI Changes

The sidebar's search behaviour has been changed so that it does only react to user-input after the user stopped typing.
Also, the cursor does not jump to the end of form-inputs anymore in case of an auto-refresh. We've also fixed an issue
that caused [custom icons](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/issues/3181#issuecomment-378875462) to be inverted when
placed in the sidebar. Last but not least, the header now expands its width beyond the 3840px mark and single dashlets
do not show a horizontal scrollbar anymore.

#### PHP7 MSSQL Compatibility

Support for Microsoft's `sqlsrv` extension has been added. Also, it's now possible to setup MSSQL resources in the
front-end using the `dblib` extension.

#### Proper Error Responses

An issue introduced with v2.5.1 has been resolved where some errors (especially HTTP 404 Not Found) were masked
by another subsequent error.

#### Broken LDAP Group Memberships

An issue introduced with v2.5.1 has been resolved where users with a domain in their name were not associated with any
LDAP groups.

#### Monitoring Module

Issuing a check using the "Check Now" action now properly causes a check being made by Icinga 2 even if outside the
timeperiod. (Note: This issue was only present if using the Icinga 2 Api as command transport.)

#### Login/Logout Expandability

It's now possible for modules to provide hooks for the user authorization. This for example allows to transparently
authenticate users in third-party applications such as [Grafana](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/pull/3401#issue-178030542).

### What's New in Version 2.5.1

You can find issues and features related to this release on our [Roadmap](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/milestone/47?closed=1).

Besides many other bug fixes, Icinga Web 2 v2.5.1 fixes an issue where it was no longer possible to filter by host
custom variables in service related views. Also, this release introduces detail views for the event history and
improved upgrading docs. Furthermore, this version censors sensitive information (e.g. LDAP passwords) in exception
stack traces.

### What's New in Version 2.5.0

You can find issues and features related to this release on our [Roadmap](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/milestone/45?closed=1).

#### Raised PHP Version Dependency

Icinga Web 2 now requires at least PHP 5.6.

#### UI Changes

The style of the login screen and menu have been changed. Also, the menu of Icinga Web 2 is now collapsible.
Browser tabs will not auto-refresh if they are inactive. Users are now allowed to change the default pagination limit
via their preferences.

#### Domain-aware Authentication for Active Directory and LDAP Backends

If there are multiple AD/LDAP authentication backends with distinct domains, you are now able to make Icinga Web 2
aware of the domains. This can be done by configuring each AD/LDAP backend's domain. You can also use the GUI for this
purpose. Please read our [documentation](doc/05-Authentication.md#domain-aware-auth) for more information about this
feature.

#### Changes in Packaging and Dependencies

Valid for distributions:

* RHEL / CentOS 6 + 7
  * Upgrading to PHP 7.0 / 7.1 via RedHat SCL (new dependency)
  * See [Upgrading to FPM](doc/02-Installation.md#upgrading-to-fpm) for manual steps that are required
* SUSE SLE 12
  * Upgrading PHP to >= 5.6.0 via the alternative packages.
    You might have to confirm the replacement of PHP < 5.6 - but that should work with any other PHP app as well
  * Make sure to enable the new Apache module `a2enmod php7` and restart `apache2`

#### Discontinued Package Updates

For the following distributions Icinga Web 2 won't be updated past 2.4.x anymore:

* Debian 7 wheezy
* Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty)
* SUSE SLE 11 (all service packs)

Please think about replacing your central Icinga system to a newer distribution release.

Also see [packages.icinga.com](https://packages.icinga.com) for the currently supported distributions.

### What's New in Version 2.0.0

#### Changes


Upgrading to Icinga Web 2 2.0.0

Icinga Web 2 installations from package on RHEL/CentOS 7 now depend on php-ZendFramework which is available through the EPEL repository. Before, Zend was installed as Icinga Web 2 vendor library through the package icingaweb2-vendor-zend. After upgrading, please make sure to remove the package icingaweb2-vendor-zend.

Icinga Web 2 version 2.0.0 requires permissions for accessing modules. Those permissions are automatically generated for each installed module in the format module/<moduleName>. Administrators have to grant the module permissions to users and/or user groups in the roles configuration for permitting access to specific modules. In addition, restrictions provided by modules are now configurable for each installed module too. Before, a module had to be enabled before having the possibility to configure restrictions.

The instances.ini configuration file provided by the monitoring module has been renamed to commandtransports.ini. The content and location of the file remains unchanged.

The location of a user's preferences has been changed from config-dir/preferences/username.ini to config-dir/preferences/username/config.ini. The content of the file remains unchanged.
