OpenProject 4.0 released

Finally, the wait is over: OpenProject 4.0 has been released. After months of development, testing and bug fixing we are proud to release OpenProject 4.0 as the latest stable version of OpenProject.

It is a major improvement over the previous version with several new features such as OmniAuth integration for OpenProject (which allows users to log into OpenProject with OpenID connect providers such as Google), many additional features for the work packages page such as an integrated toolbar, a details pane to display work package information right from the work package list and additional improvements with regard to accessibility and design.

Important notice:

  • OpenProject 4.0 replaces OpenProject 3.0.14 on the stable branch. Please note that additional prerequisites are required for OpenProject 4.0 compared to OpenProject 3.0.

What’s new in OP 4.0?

OmniAuth integration
With OpenProject 4.0 it is possible to log in by authenticating against an Open ID connect provider. New users can simply use their existing accounts (such as Google accounts).

Usablitity and Design
A new design for avatars, standardized capitalized headings and a more readable wiki have been added with OpenProject 4.0.

Accessibility
The improved work package table as well as the work package details pane are fully accessible. Also in many other areas, the accessibility of OpenProject has been improved.

Integrated toolbar on work package page
With the integrated toolbar on the work package page users can configure and save queries right on the the work package table without having to go to a separate page.

Integrated query title on work package page
The title of the work package page has been integrated with the query selection. By selecting the title, a query can quickly be changed.

Column header functions in work package table,
Making small configuration changes to the work package list can be bothersome. A context menu on work package columns activated by clicking on columns allows to sort, group, move, hide or add a new column quickly.

Work package details pane in work package list
Often times users want to see information about entries in the work package at a glance - without having to switch to a separate page. With OpenProject 4.0 a new split screen mode is added to the work package page, allowing the activation of the work package details pane next to the work package table.
