Last week we released version 3.1.0 for all our AlphaNodes Redmine plugins (Enterprise+). These versions are now compatible with Redmine v5.1x and come with new requirements (Ruby v3.0x or higher). We strongly recommend that all Redmine Installations be upgraded to our new minimum requirements before installation.
Here is what to know about the new plugin version:
