Release notes for version: 15.9.0
Built in MCP server
Easy8 application has MCP server capabilities, i.e. standardized connectivity to AI tools. For example, in n8n MCP can be used as a tool for AI agent.
Technical documentation is available at https://docs.easy8.com/AI/mcp-server/
⚠️ Removed Daily snapshot feature on widgets
A hidden, and never fully stabilized feature - Daily snapshot has been removed from dashboard widgets. An alternative is using an n8n workflow optimized and more reliabiable for such statistics.
If you have used this feature, updating to version 15.9 will remove the setting from the widgets and the data stored in the widgets.
- Cloud - contact support to find out how to retrieve this data manually
- On-premises - always back up database before updating
Technological stack
This section is important for Server solution, although with Docker, these requirements are updated automatically. Cloud users need not worry about any of this.
- OS: Debian 12 on amd64 architecture
- Redmine: upgradable from version 6.0.9
- Ruby: 4.0.2
- Bundler: 2.7.1+
- Rubygems: 3.7.x
- Database: Percona/MySQL 8.4
- redis-server: 8
- NodeJS: 24.15
- Docker engine: 29.1.5
- Docker compose: 5.0.1
Ruby and NodeJS are strictly mandatory, without these versions you will not be able to run Easy8.
Percona MySQL is strongly recommended, due to optimization and testing with only this version.
✅ Or, forget about the management of technological stack and use Docker deployment. It combines the security of on-premises solution with nearly the comfort of cloud solution.
Before every application upgrade, please carefully refer to all release notes between your existing version and the new version - there may be critical technical or functional changes explained.
To avoid sifting through too many release notes in the future, we recommend updating your application regularly. With Docker updating is very simple, and brings you advantages:
- Latest security fixes
- Latest bug fixes
- Fewer changes at a time - better digestible for your users
