What's New in Version 2.5.0

You can find issues and features related to this release on our Roadmap.

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 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 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 for the currently supported distributions.
