After 4 alpha releases, 3 release candidates and over 400 features and bug fixes, Mantis 1.1.0 gold is finally released. The highlights of the Mantis 1.1.0 release include:
- Inclusion of MantisConnect (SOAP API) out of the box
- Wiki integration (dokuwiki, mediawiki, xwiki),
- Email queuing,
- Gravatar integration,
- DB2 support,
- Tagging,
- Filtering perma links,
- Time tracking,
- Twitter integration,
- UTF8 support,
- Generic configuration page,
- Show last visited issues,
- XHTML compliance,

For Mantis instances that use non-latin characterset, there is no automated upgrade path for data already in the database. Hence, this wiki page guides you through the upgrade process. Please backup before you attempt to upgrade. It is also recommended to test the upgrade process on a backup instance rather than the live one.
Note: As per our previous post about “Dropping PHP 4.x Support“, it is important to note that Mantis 1.1.x release / maintenance releases will be the last Mantis release with PHP 4.x support. See bug #8681 for a fix of a PHP 4 compatibility issue with Mantis 1.1.0 release.

PHP4-Support WILL be dropped?
I just installed 1.1 on a PHP4 machine and it complains that stripos() is undefined, which clearly is an PHP5 function.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: stripos() in /usr/local/ 104 $t_soap_api_path_pos = stripos( $t_path,0, $t_soap_api_path );
apache/htdocs/mantis1.1/config_defaults_inc.php on line 104
Where do i find release notes or info on what has been added/fixed in 1.1.0. This new website is harder to navigate…. Thx.
@eduuser / @fengjie – The stripos issue is the only PHP 4 compatibility issue that slipped in just before the release. The fix can be found in the following bug and will be included in Mantis 1.1.1.

The release notes can be found at:

After upgrading from 1.0.8 to 1.1.1, an error occured on view_all_bug_page.php.
I do not seen any bug, until I use filter to specify each bugs ID.
Looking at the example http://www.futureware.biz/mantisdemo/view_all_bug_page.php, it seems that should not occure.
Any idea please ?
how i can download mantis bug tracking tool
