Release notes¶
Redmine 6.1 Upgrade (Jul 2026)¶
If you notice any issues with redmine, please contact jcormier@criticallink.com
New and improved¶
- Reactions — you can now give a 👍 (and other reactions) on issues, comments, news, and forum messages.
- More editor buttons — the wiki/issue toolbar now has emoji, horizontal-rule, link, and image buttons. Typing ## autocompletes an issue reference.
- Auto-watch — issues you create or comment on are now watched automatically, so you get updates without manually clicking "Watch." You can adjust this under My account → Auto-watch.
- WebP images are now supported in attachments and thumbnails.
- Checklists and the distraction-free editor (zenedit) have been updated to their current versions.
Changes to be aware of¶
- Notification default — brand-new accounts default to "Only for things I watch or I'm assigned to." Existing accounts keep whatever setting you already had, so nothing changes for you unless you want it to (My account → Email notifications).
- Stronger password rules — the next time you change your password, it can't match your login, name, or email address.
