Default release track date: 13-Feb-2025

We’re pleased to announce the release of TestRail 8.1.0.6165 to all our Server customers. This release brings a series of fixes and improvements to enhance stability, usability, and security in TestRail. Key updates include:

Text Rendering and Formatting Fixes: Resolved issues with markdown rendering, HTML syntax display, and formatting inconsistencies in reports and test cases.
Report and Print View Enhancements: Fixed missing custom fields in printed run results, improved alignment and formatting in reports, and ensured full test run names are displayed in PDFs.
Integration and API Fixes: Addressed issues with Jira plugin variables, incorrect test case formatting in Jira, and deprecated email references for support ticket creation.
Security and Data Handling Improvements: Fixed encoding issues in test cases, resolved vulnerabilities related to text input fields, and more.
jQuery Library Upgrade: The jQuery JavaScript library has been updated to version 3.7, ensuring improved performance and security compliance.

Customers who wish to upgrade to TestRail 8.1.0 can download the installation files from the Customer Portal.

Please note that our recommended upgrade path is via TestRail 8.0.1. If you’re still running TestRail 7.0 or below, you should upgrade to 7.5 first, then upgrade to 8.0.1, followed by an upgrade to 8.0.4, and only then (upgrade steps for Unix/Linux and upgrade steps for Windows).
