We are thrilled to announce the release of Request Tracker (RT) 6.0.0! This major release introduces an updated user interface, new customization features, integration of popular extensions into the core, and numerous enhancements to improve performance, usability, and administration.
You can see details and videos on our blog showing how RT looks with htmx and Bootstrap 5, along with new ticket and saved search features. And you can now customize your ticket and asset pages to contain only the elements you need, and you can position them however you want to.

This release also contains many other big new features including scrips support for assets and articles, full-text search enhancements, and accessibility improvements. The TimeTracking and ArticleTemplates extensions are now core in RT 6, and configuration for extensions is available in the RT System Configuration interface.
We have added Selenium to our automated test suite to help test htmx and you can see RT’s 45,000+ tests run automatically on GitHub every time we push and update and continue to work to improve RT.
