2. v8.7.1v8.7.1Aug 17, 2026

   Happy Monday, folks! This is just a small patch release for some quality-of-life fixes, mostly for the importer and LDAP wizards, with a few SCIM fixes as well. Also, you can now manage maintenance types in the UI. We'll be improving that UI moving forward, but we wanted to at least get that capability into your hands. ## What's Changed * Asset Importer: Fixed #19468 - removed requiredness for custom fields by @snipe in https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/pull/19471 * Cleaned up some PHPStan errors, re-ran baseline by @uberbrady in https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/pull/19480 * Importer: Fix for Livewire+modal+select2 search by @snipe in https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/pull/19483 * Action_logs cleanup script by @uberbrady in https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/pull/19462 * Fix the add_link_colors_to_settings migration by @sirzerator in https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/pull/19475 * Change Address parsing to better handle Okta's SCIM by @uberbrady in https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/pull/19485 * Rebuild Docker images weekly to pick up security patches by @markof88 in https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/pull/19397 * 🖼️ LDAP Wizard:

3. v8.7.0v8.7.0Aug 11, 2026

   > [!CAUTION] > **This version of Snipe-IT REQUIRES PHP 8.2.0 or greater, 8.4+ recommended.** PHP 8.2 is still in security release support until 31 Dec 2026, but let's not play that game Buckle up, friends. This one has been simmering on develop for a while and it turned into a proper feast. 1,182 commits across 136 pull requests, several long-running feature branches finally released, and a lot of little "oh crap THAT was still broken?" cleanups along the way. Grab a coffee. <img width="640" height="344" alt="let-me-explain-sum-up" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e007c62f-18e7-4227-b3b8-e11c1dd76adf" /> ## The Highlight Reel ### Replenish and orders (for real this time) Accessories, consumables, and components now have proper "add stock" and "remove stock" flows with a ledger. Instead of admins hand-editing the `qty` field on a parent row and hoping for the best, every quantity change writes an action-log entry with the delta, a note, and (optionally) an order number. This leads the way to orders being a real first-class object that you can start from and add things to. (That's not here yet, but it's coming.) ![Replenish flow](https://github.c

This release largely addresses some SCIM issues stemming from the newly mappable fields from the last release (largely affecting Azure/Entra and Okta, since they both behave very differently), and a handful of security issues and general bugs, but we also added new markdown textarea custom fields. We've also optimized a bunch of queries to speed custom asset report and the models API endpoint. BUT ALSO - there's one new feature that we're excited about that may or may not matter to your workflow: ### Feature: "Floater" company setting We've always had two use cases for FMCS: folks who wanted null to be a sort of floater company where anything can be assigned to users without a company, and people who wanted null company to act as a pseudo company, where it was restricted to only fellow-null-company-ed things. We n
