Breaking changes

What to check before upgrading, taken from the notes of the last 30 releases.

• v8.4.1Apr 7, 2026

  Potentially Breaking Changes

  The filters for asset status *type*, (Pending, RTD, Archived, Deleted, etc) have been changed from status=Archived to status_type=Archived.

• v8.3.5Nov 10, 2025

  Breaking API change:

  We did make a change to the API in https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/pull/18150 that slightly changes the shape of the response. If you're using the Departments API and depend on the payload on PUT or PATCH responses, please update your code accordingly. (It now returns in the same shape as a GET request.)

• v8.2.0Jul 23, 2025

  Potentially Breaking Changes

  User Permissions Change

  It was already true that only superusers could assign new permission groups and promote other users to superadmin, but we've tighten a few more of these controls to disallow editing email address, username, password, and ability to login by users with lower privileges then the user they're trying to edit - meaning admins cannot edit superadmin usernames, email, etc - and regular users who have user editing permission cannot modify those settings for either admins or superadmins, though they can still edit those properties for other regular users. See https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/pull/17423 for more info there.

  User Welcome Emails

  We've removed the ability to include credentials for newly created users via import or through the GUI, instead replacing it with the ability to send them a password reset "invitation". Sending passwords via email has been considered a bad idea for a while, so this method seems better. Note that if the newly created user doesn't have an email address in the import, we obviously cannot send them a password reset email, so those emails won't go out.
