About osTicket
osTicket is in maintenance-only mode — one annual patch, no new capability surface
osTicket has dropped into pure maintenance: the only entry in the last year is v1.18.3/v1.17.7 from January 2026, carrying security fixes, bug fixes, and PHP 8.3/8.4 compatibility. The last meaningfully new capability — OAuth2 support in v1.17.0 — landed in 2022.
