A GitHub Actions incident left the 1.8.0 release build queued indefinitely, so no Docker image was ever published for that tag. 1.8.1 re-runs the release with the same code, plus one plugin slot that merged in the meantime.
Security: Manage S/MIME and PGP public keys and configure Stalwart encryption at rest from account security settings
Notifications: Background notification onboarding, sequenced after the PWA install prompt
Navigation: Deep links for mail, calendar, contacts, files, and settings, with screen-reader improvements
Settings: Always show the Unified Mailbox switch in Layout settings
i18n: Catalan translation
i18n: Localized editor toolbar across every locale
Plugins: Contact API — contact.get, contact.create, contact.update, contact.search
Plugins: contact-cryptokeys UI slot, behind the ui:contact-cryptokeys permission, so a plugin can render a contact's crypto keys in place of the built-in list
Plugins: user.getAccounts and user.getIdentities
Plugins: user.logout method and logout hook
Plugins: Crypto API — public-key management and encryption-at-rest control on the privileged tier
Plugins: onBeforeBlobUpload can offload an attachment to external storage
Plugins: Binary Blob/File bodies for api.http.post
Plugins: upfiles.get moved behind email:blob-read, off the privileged tier
Dev: Mock JMAP defaults now include nested tags
Changes
Mail: The "Reset to defaults" button is gone from tag settings — one stray click wiped a carefully built tag list, with no confirmation and no undo
Fixes
Send: Send through the identity's own account client so DKIM matches the From domain (#461)
Send: Split Name <addr> recipients into the JMAP name and email fields (#672)
Send: Time out stalled JMAP requests so a send can't hang forever (#702)
Mail: Keep inline images when replying to application/octet-stream cid parts (#543)
Mail: Reply on your own thread message no longer re-addresses the original recipients (#703)
Mail: Empty folder no longer stops after 500 emails (#711)
Mail: Move messages across accounts from the "Move to" context menu, preserving read state and deferring source removal to Stalwart
Mail: Stop resurrecting deleted rows in the mailbox refresh merge
Mail: Keep the message/rfc822 attachment visible after inline unwrapping
Mail: Strip sender and recipient names from forward-as-attachment filenames
Mail: Open mailto: links in the built-in composer
Mail: Spell out the full tag path in drag-and-drop toasts, so Personal/Receipts and Work/Receipts no longer read as the same tag
Mail: Act on current email state in the context menu's mark-as-read instead of a stale copy
Mail: Match the selected-row tint between dark and light mode
Mail: Restore lost animations after the Tailwind config move
Drafts: Restore the sender identity when reopening a draft
Calendar: Stop re-adding the organizer to the attendee list on every save (#731)
Calendar: Stop re-probing shared accounts that have no calendar access
Calendar: Route the parse dump through the debug logger
Project variable resolution now matches the Docker Compose CLI
Previously, environment variables set on Arcane's own container (such as PORT) could be picked up when resolving ${VARIABLE} references in your projects' compose files. This could cause surprising results — for example, a project using ${PORT:-8191} could end up binding to Arcane's own port instead of its default (#3499).
Starting with this release, variable references in a project's compose file resolve only from:
your global Variables (.env.global)
the project's own .env file
defaults in the compose file itself (${VAR:-default})
timezone and locale from Arcane's environment (TZ, LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_ALL)
This means a project deployed through Arcane now resolves its variables the same way as running docker compose up in the project directory, and projects can no longer accidentally pick up Arcane's own configuration.
If a project referenced a variable that was only defined on Arcane's container, add it under Customization → Variables to share it with all projects, or to that project's .env file. No other action is needed.

⚠️ Changes to be aware of
Filter operators: literal wildcards and true case-insensitive equality
$eqi / $nei now do real case-insensitive equality (= LOWER(?)), not LIKE, so values with %, _, or a trailing \ no longer act as wildcards or crash some databases. Substring operators ($contains, $startsWith, $endsWith, and case-insensitive variants) now treat %, _, and \ in the filter value as literal characters. If you relied on % / _ inside those filters as SQL wildcards, update filters to match the new literal semantics.

If you are using Part-DB it would be helpful if you fill out this short survey on your usage of Part-DB (Google Forms): https://forms.gle/Q15twx3YYq3qCNfe8
Restricted the settings fields readable with minimal app access to those actually needed by non-admin users, no longer exposing admin-only and sensitive AI configuration fields (#27996)
The minimal app permissions now grant read access to only a subset of directus_settings fields. This applies to new policies, existing policies are untouched.
Replaced the TinyMCE editor powering the WYSIWYG with Tiptap... (#27754) The WYSIWYG interface now runs on Tiptap instead of TinyMCE
tinymceOverrides no longer has any effect. Stored values are kept and a console warning is logged, but the editor ignores them. Use the fontsize/fontfamily toolbar menus and customFormats instead.
TinyMCE is no longer bundled with the app, so anything depending on it (custom plugins, skins, content CSS, the global tinymce object) no longer applies.
Existing content that contains markup the editor would normalize now locks the field read-only until the warning dialog is confirmed. Editing and autosave are blocked while locked, including raw-value editing.
Fixed deployment webhooks resolving a project from the wrong provider when external IDs collide (#27816)
The DeploymentProjectsService.readByExternalId method now takes the deployment ID as its first argument (i.e. readByExternalId(deploymentId, externalId))
Added support for multi-collection flat data imports (#27984) Import file size is now capped by default
A new IMPORT_MAX_FILE_SIZE environment variable (default: 50mb) limits the size of uploaded import files and schema snapshots. Previously, imports were effectively unrestricted, allowing files larger than 50mb to be processed. With this change, imports exceeding the configured limit will be rejected. Increase IMPORT_MAX_FILE_SIZE to restore the previous behavior.
Updated background query flag handling for POST /utils/import/:collection
The background query flag now treats a valueless indicator (i.e. ?background) as true. If you previously relied on a valueless background flag being interpreted as false, pass an explicit value instead (i.e. ?background=false).
Added a mode parameter and partial snapshot support to the schema diff endpoint (#27984)
The SDK schemaDiff command now takes its options as an object (schemaDiff(snapshot, { force, mode }))
Added support for restricting image transformation output size via ASSETS_TRANSFORM_IMAGE_MAX_OUTPUT_DIMENSION (#27995) Image transformation output is now restricted
Image transformations that project an output larger than ASSETS_TRANSFORM_IMAGE_MAX_OUTPUT_DIMENSION (default 3000 px) on either axis are now rejected with an IllegalAssetTransformationError.

Replaced the TinyMCE editor powering the WYSIWYG with Tiptap (#27754 by @alvarosabu)
To avoid data loss, the editor preserves attributes (class, id, title, role, lang, dir, data-*, aria-*) and non-schema semantic tags. If stored HTML still contains markup the editor would normalize, the field is locked read-only with a warning dialog, so no edit or autosave can rewrite it before you confirm; raw-value editing is disabled while locked so the warning can't be bypassed.

⚠️ Changes to be aware of
Required media and relations: opt-in strictRelations
New config api.documents.strictRelations enforces required media and relations on publish (drafts can still be empty). On by default for new projects; existing apps are unchanged until you set it. To opt in, set documents.strictRelations: true in config/api.
(#27028)
Empty multiple media / morphMany now returns []
Populated empty morphMany relations (including type: 'media', multiple: true) serialize as [] instead of null, matching other to-many relations. This is unconditional and not gated by strictRelations. If clients, webhooks, or integrations check field === null for empty galleries / morphMany, treat [] as empty instead (e.g. !field?.length).
(#27090)
This is a security release to address a range of vulnerabilities:
External Authentication Use (OIDC/SAML2/LDAP) could potentially mismatch external authentication system users to BookStack users upon login, where unique IDs are very similar (same ID text but different casing, or accented characters).
The login form could be abused to use timing to gain information about if a user exists in the system. This was already limited by request rate-limits, but could still have assisted targeted scenarios.
Certain editor content could be used to load interactive content over file links when exported, which could then pose a risk after being exported in Windows environments which use NTLM.
API errors could include debug details by default, and therefore potentially expose some system details like file paths.
With our default PDF rendering option, certain content could be used to access/check for files on the BookStack host beyond the scope of what we'd expect.
Upgrading is generally advised, but more so for instances using OIDC, SAML2 or LDAP authentication.
Thanks to Tanner Marks (GitHub), Gurmandeep Deol (LinkedIn) and whale120 (Blog, X, Working with DEVCORE Internship Program) for responsibly reporting issues addressed in this release.

there is a discord server with an @everyone in case of future important updates, such as vulnerabilities (most recently 2026-07-27)
⚠️ ATTN: this release fixes a vulnerability in FTP and FTPS (not SFTP)
the FTP-server (default-disabled) would allow uploading to any folder that the copyparty process had permission to write to, but with certain limitations; see GHSA-phv8-wgjp-g4p9
After upgrade, you need to run php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate (or equivalent) as webserver user after upgrade.. If you are running a docker container, use sudo docker exec --user=www-data partdb php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate, or sudo -E inside the docker container, to ensure that the migrations are applied to the correct database.
