I introduce the new features that have been committed in the official Redmine repository and will be included in the upcoming release. Let's preview the upcoming features that will make Redmine even more useful.

This month, I'll highlight 5 issues out of the 17 committed in December 2025.

What is Redmine?
Redmine is an open source project management software. It can be freely installed on self-hosted servers or used via cloud services. For more information about Redmine, visit official site.

UI Improvements for a Simpler Design

By reducing borders and shadows while increasing white space, text readability is improved, giving the UI a more spacious and clean feel.

Improved Layout Spacing

Increased top padding between the menu and the title relieves the "cramped" feel and improves visual clarity.

Right-Aligned "Estimated Time" and "Spent Time" in Issue Lists

Numeric columns such as "Estimated time" and "Spent time" in the issue list—previously center-aligned—will now be right-aligned. This makes it easier to compare numbers with different digit counts.

Macro to Display Recently Updated Wiki Pages from Specific Projects

The {{recent_pages}} macro has been enhanced. You can now specify a project (e.g., {{recent_pages(project=identifier)}}) to display updates from other projects on your home screen or parent project Wiki.

(Example) Display pages from the project with the identifier ui-design that were updated within the last 7 days.

{{recent_pages(project=ui-design)}}

  1. Update a Wiki page in the "UI/UX Design Team" project.

  2. Insert the macro into a Wiki page in the "Company-wide Internal Portal" project.

  3. The recently updated Wiki pages from the "UI/UX Design Team" project will now be displayed in the "Company-wide Internal Portal" project.

API Now Includes Project ID and Name for Wiki Pages

When retrieving Wiki page info via the REST API, project details (ID and name) will now be included in the response. This simplifies integration for developers connecting Redmine with external tools.

Redmine 7.0: "project":{"id":1,"name":"Customer Management System Development"}, is included.

$ curl -s -H "X-Redmine-API-Key: API-Key" "http://***/projects/Identifier/wiki/Development_Environment_Setup.json"
{"wiki_page":{"title":"Development_Environment_Setup","text":"# Development Environment Setup...","version":1,"author":{"id":5,"name":"Mai Akada"},"comments":"","project":{"id":1,"name":"Customer Management System Development"},"created_on":"2025-10-28T04:52:40Z","updated_on":"2025-10-28T04:52:40Z"}}%

Redmine 6.1: "project":{"id":1,"name":"Customer Management System Development"}, is not included.

$ curl -s -H "X-Redmine-API-Key: API-Key" "http://***/projects/Identifier/wiki/Development_Environment_Setup.json"
{"wiki_page":{"title":"Development_Environment_Setup","text":"# Development Environment Setup...","version":1,"author":{"id":5,"name":"Mai Akada"},"comments":"","created_on":"2026-01-27T08:49:53Z","updated_on":"2026-01-27T08:49:53Z"}}%
