What's new?
Bug fixes and minor improvements. Please take a look at the CHANGELOG below.
Migration required
Due to the complete rewrite of Akeeba Ticket System you cannot just install the new version on top of the old one and have everything work trouble-free especially if you were using any of the following features:
- Template overrides
- Custom fields
- User tags
- Customised email templates
- An avatar plugin other than Gravatar
- InstantSearch
- CRON jobs using the CLI scripts (those using a URL are not affected)
- Credits
- Ticket Buckets
- Ticket rating
- Off-line schedule
- The geolocation custom field
- The Social buttons plugin
- Integration with com_search (the legacy Search feature in Joomla which predates Smart Search by a decade)
Our documentation has migration instructions. We strongly recommend working on your migration on a dev site first and test thoroughly to ensure you are not missing anything important when you upgrade to Akeeba Ticket System 5.
Joomla! and PHP versions supported
Please consult our Compatibility page. It explains our version support policy and lists which versions of our software are compatible with which versions of Joomla and PHP.
