Snipe-IT 4.2.0 is out with a plethora of new features, bug fixes and overall improvements.

New in v4.2.0
Lots of small bug fixes this time around, along with a few exciting but nascent features: themes and REMOTE_USER authentication.
. . .

Have you upgraded yet? Any hiccups while upgrading?

I've upgraded, and I check for updates daily.

I've had zero issues.

So this is a bit cool, but what should happen is someone should take out the killcode and create a new Cryptolocker kill button out of it.

Rather than leaving the dangerous bits in there. . .

Ubuntu 18.04 suspend issues show that Linux suspend is still an issue. Not really surprising as Windows suspend is still an issue, too.
