Or could an additional version number label be added that is not textarea, and a shorter textbox for this purpose?

Currently in version 2.27.3, when going to a project and viewing versions, only the version number is displayed along with a date and edit/delete buttons

Is it possible to get the ...

I recently upgraded from 2.27.0 to 2.27.3

If you are indeed using HTML email notifications here are your extra steps after the main package upgrade has completed and system is known up and working properly.

No problems with the new jquery

I wish it were as easy as just choosing a new collation in MySQL. I didn't read all of the code history but looking at it through 2025 eyes it's weird that a collation was specifically hard-coded into an application. I'm sure there were valid reasons at the time but it looks off in 2025.

Should anyone else want to take a peek or work on this here are the ALTERS needed to migrate to utf8mb4_unicode_ci



ALTER DATABASE bugtracker CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

ALTER TABLE `mantis_api_token_table` CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
ALTER ...

Converting the database itself to utf8mb4_unicode_ci was easy.

It looks like the Mantis codebase is hardcoded in a ton of places to only use utf8, I'm guessing this is a relic of the past.. because utf8mb4_unicode_ci is pretty much the standard for today.

I'd hoped this would be easy... but I'd ...

My users want to use emoticons which requires utf8mb4_unicode_ci.. Is it generally safe to migrate to this new collation?

Just needed to complete Database Update from the 2.27.0 upgrade.

Putting jquery 3.7.1 back into play.

Please delete - I just noticed the Update Database tab under Administration/settings.

All good, I have my categories now

After performing an update from 2.26.1 to 2.27.0, I'm finding that I am not able to select a Category. Viewing source, it appears that I have no category items for any project - although, I do.

<select id="category_id" name="category_id" class="autofocus input-sm" tabindex="1" required ...

Note that I just backed out that change to 3.7.1 due to a new issue I found in 2.27.0

No just a general error that there are multiple XSS vulnerabilities with sites that use out of date jquery

1) Downloaded the latest jquery 3.7.1 and placed in the mantisbt-2.27.0/js directory

2) Updated mantisbt-2.27.0/core/constant_inc.php

Tenable found that the installed jquery with Mantis 2.27.0 is out of date and thus subject to multiple XSS vulnerabilities.
