What is Redmine:
Redmine is a versatile, open-source project management tool built on Ruby on Rails. It offers features like multi-project support, issue tracking, time tracking, and custom fields. Visit the official website at www.redmine.org to access a wealth of comprehensive information.
Here are the key updates across all three versions:
- A new net-imap gem is included to address CVE-2025-43857 (#42662).
- Important fixes have been incorporated to improve Redmine's compatibility with Rack 3.1.14 and later. These resolve issues like "Page not found" errors when saving workflows and mail handler failures with large emails (#42875, #42962).
- A patch for an issue that limited available locales to those defined in Redmine (#38529) has been properly corrected.
