Release notes for v5.5
v5.5 is the new long term backend implementation of Invoice Ninja. In this major release we have incremented the minimum PHP to 8.1 and use the Laravel 9 framework this to allows the platform to remain stable without another major platform upgrade until 2024.
How do I upgrade?
First, upgrade your version of PHP to 8.1 and ensure the same extensions are available:
bcmath extension ctype extension fileinfo extension gd extension json extension mbstring extension openssl extension PDO extension tokenizer extension xml extension curl extension zip extension gmp extension mysql extension fpm (for Nginx)
Update your nginx configuration to point to the new PHP 8.1 FPM socket
If you run multiple version of PHP for other applications on your server, you'll want to ensure the CLI version for invoice ninja is PHP 8.1, if the default PHP cli version is not PHP 8.1 you'll want to update your supervisord configuration to point to the php8.1 binary
After starting the PHP8.1 FPM service and restarting nginx, you are ready to copy over the new v5.5 release files. You can either use the in app upgrade option, or manually copy over release files from the github release section.
Minor fixes in this release. Please note this is the final v5.4.x release. The next release 5.5 is a major "breaking change" version where we are enforcing the minimum PHP requirements to 8.1 and moving the framework from Laravel 8 to Laravel 9. If you are not ready to change your PHP version up to 8.1 you'll want to stay on the v5.4.12 branch until ready to upgrade.

This release completes our Purchase Order feature with end to end inventory management. Purchase orders can also be converted to an expense.
Subscriptions now has the option of quantities to be selected by the end client.
Bulgarian translations have been integrated into the application.
Remove paid to date from credit PDF Uploads for purchase orders Add quantity to subscriptions Expense a Purchase Order Inventory management from purchase orders Update translations Introduce Bulgarian translations Fixes for migrations Fixes for language seeder Fixes for purchase order to expense Fixes for send_email bulk routes Minor fixes for invoice filters
Another big release. We have merged a PR for the Forte Payment gateway, super popular for their very low ACH fees, thanks to @kishanmnpatel for this.
For hosted users, we've added OAuth with Microsoft and also send with microsoft, where you can send emails via Invoice Ninja from your own email address. This is of beta quality, and from our testing appears solid.
For our users in Switzerland we have added Swiss QR payment codes to the PDF invoices. Simply add your QR Iban and BESR ID number in your company settings.
Various other bugs and fixes are included
Forte gateway added. Thanks @kishanmnpatel Add microsoft oauth to index.html Compiled js file added to public folder. Fixes for purchase order fillable list Fixes for designs Checks for access token property Improve queries for client statements Appropriately refresh sending tokens Admin notifications Spam notifications Change purchase order transformer type Add signup checks to flutter routes Fixes for stripe webhooks Minor fixes for Purchase orders Reduce scopes for microsoft email Password protection route with Microsoft OAuth Always ensure contacts can pay an invoice with an invitation link Bulk actions for purchase orders Minor fixes for connected accounts Minor fixes for create user route Minor fixes for company imports Purchase order decorators Add flagging abilities to accounts table Fixes for paths Swiss QR codes Templates for Purchase Orders Fixes for duplicate quote approved notifications Fixes for type checking for purchase orders Fixes for surcharge visibility
Important release for new users. Some supported databases do not have a "json" column, so we instead use a mediumText column.
Fixes for reminders when no due date is set Add dedicated :MONTHYEAR reserved keyword Ensure we save auto_bill_tries Updates for hosted platform Minor fixes for bcc's Add logging for payment intents Fixes for migrations with incompatible types
This is a big release.
Whats new? The self updater has been further improved. With each release a new chromium folder is installed into the application, and when you are releasing at least once a week like we are, these folders start to consume significant space. To fix this, the self updater will now remove all old chromium files/folders in the system.
The Checkout Payment driver has been completely rewritten to take advantage of their new API key system. We now support both the default API and the Four API.
We've added the ability to switch from the Flutter front end to our React front end using the small React button on the dashboard. Please note, this will only work if you use our Release file / Self updater. Please bear in mind that the switch is a one way function at the moment until we update the React Web Application to enable switching back to the Flutter front end.
The Purchase Order API has been completed and we are nearing completion of the front end works for this.

Big release! We are now bundling our React Web Application (beta) into the releases.
You can activate the react application by using the .env variable REACT_APP_ENABLED=true
This release has several important features.
-
Page numbering is now available on PDFs, to enable this, navigate to Settings > Invoice Design and the bottom you can enable page numbering and there are alignment options available. Currently, page numbers are only available at the bottom margin of the PDF.
-
CSV Exports are now available in Settings > Import|Export
-
Memory improvements for the self updater, this should (hopefully) reduce the memory overhead when performing the self update.

UI/UX improvements
Important feature update for users that rely on Stripe ACH payments. We have now implemented their new API which allows for Instant Bank Verifications. Unfortunately their API does not allow instant bank verification on its own, so the micro deposits are still required if a verification alone needs to be performed.
We have also implemented a system maintenance task that will perform a system cleanup of PDFs and Backup .html files. To enable this feature you will need to add two .env variables
DELETE_PDF_DAYS=60
DELETE_BACKUP_DAYS=60
these define the number of days you wish to retain these files. It is important to remember that the PDFs can be regenerated again if the system needs to rebuild them for emailing/viewing.

Starting from this release, we'll be making an effort to describe significant changes to the application to assist the community in knowing what to expect with releases.
One issue we saw with v5.3.73 was that a lot of self hosted installations were not able to run the post update hooks which called composer to update the vendor dependencies, this quickly broken a lot of running applications.
To counter this we have removed both composer and also the self-updater we were relying on. In its place is our own implementation of the self updater. This will pull in the full release file ( circa 200mb ) which also contains all of the vendor dependencies so the chances of an update breaking should be greatly reduced. The cost of the larger file shouldn't be much of an issue for most people given bandwidth allowances nowadays.
So how exactly does the updater work?
I'm glad you asked :).
The first step in the update process is to ensure the system can write the files into the directory. To do this, the webuser must be able to write to every file and directory recursively. So we iterate through the entire directory and check all files and folders. If we hit a file that is not writable, we immediately thrown an exception and stop the update process.
Once the filesystem check is complete, we pull in the latest full package from the github releases and download the zip file to the local file system. Once there we unpack and overwrite all the existing file with the new ones.
All that is left to do after this is to clear the cache, run migrations and then optimize the config cache here are the post extraction steps
$cacheCompiled = base_path('bootstrap/cache/compiled.php');
if (file_exists($cacheCompiled)) { unlink ($cacheCompiled); }
$cacheServices = base_path('bootstrap/cache/services.php');
if (file_exists($cacheServices)) { unlink ($cacheServices); }
Artisan::call('clear-compiled');
Artisan::call('route:clear');
Artisan::call('view:clear');
Artisan::call('migrate', ['--force' => true]);
Artisan::call('optimize');This should bring your system up to date with the least amount of pain possible.
What should I do if the update fails and puts the application into a bad state?
Hopefully this should not happen, however it the app does get into a bad state then download the latest release file from here and copy the files over your existing installation.
Then call the web url https://yourdomain/update?secret=secret
This web url will perform the post update steps and correct the app state.
