This is Jitbit Helpdesk version 10 Release Candidate. It is production-ready as we have been using it on our servers (the SaaS version) for more than a month, but you should install it at your own risk.
What's new
With version 10 we've moved our backend to a new platform - .NET 5 (also known as .NET Core). For you as a customer it means two things:
- You can now install it on Linux (installation manual). You still need Microsoft SQL Server, but they have a Linux version too.
- You'll get massive performance gains.
Read more about this move on Alex's blog post: Jitbit is ported to .NET Core
How to upgrade
Backup your help desk files. If anything goes wrong with the upgrade just put your old files back in and recycle IIS. That's all you have to do to roll back. Version 10 does not include any database changes.
On Windows install Microsoft .NET 5 Hosting Bundle first (direct download).
If you upgraded Jitbit before you are used to not touching your web.config file. With version 10 all your web.config settings are moving to appsettings.json. Appsettings.json is now the file you are supposed to not delete between upgrades.
The easiest way to upgrade is to launch the new setup.exe. You can find it in the root folder of the downloaded package (it used to be in the "bin" folder). You will be upgraded automatically. If you have multiple instances on one server you can use the new Setup.exe as well - it lets you pick the instance you want to upgrade.
We updated the manual to reflect all the changes: https://www.jitbit.com/docs/helpdesk/!!!helpdesk-software-readme.htm.

Jitbit is now real-time
Starting with version 9 Jibtit Helpdesk updates the most frequently used pages in real time. There is no need to refresh the ticket list page ever again since all the data you see is always current. Additionally, you will see if other techs are viewing tickets on the main page - there will be an "eye" icon across from ticket subjects. Ticket replies are now also updated in real time.
This release lays the groundwork required for us to bring you more productivity features like these in the future. As always, we'd love to hear your ideas.
Additionally, we've refactored tons of old code and updated our technology stack. This lets us add features quicker and brings huge performance gains.
How to upgrade
For most of you, this upgrade isn't any different from before. If you use "SetupTool" from the "bin" folder you should be all set since it will update the web.config file for you.
If you upgrade your database manually refer this manual to see what changes you need to make to the web.config.
One thing that you need to install to your IIS is "WebSocket protocol". It is not installed by default. It is not required, but all new real-time features will work better and more consistently if you install web sockets.
Here is the official manual on how to do that: IIS 8.0 WebSocket Protocol Support
