v8.1.17

> [!CAUTION]  
>  **This  version of Snipe-IT REQUIRES PHP 8.2.0 or greater.**

Happy Monday, nerds! This release closes [Sprint Weeks 25-26](https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/milestone/27).  We've a few folks out on vacation last week and this week, so our velocity might be slightly impacted, but we'll be going through [the next sprint](https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/milestone/28) today to make sure it's reasonable. 

We've been trying to stick to the defined Sprints, and also to start releasing consistently every other Monday. Obviously, that's going to be a best effort, and delays could be caused by high-impact bugs or regressions, so don't be too weirded out if you also see an out-of-band release. 

In the upcoming months, we're going to be tackling some larger issues that will enable us to move faster: a big refactor to how the logging system works, reworking some of the permissions and notifications, upgrading the UI to use a more modern version of Bootstrap so that we have an easier time integrating some of the features folks have been asking for, etc. This might mean you see a slow-down in feature requests being addressed, but it will set us up for success down the line. These are the unglamorous bits that need to be done behind the scenes to be able to move forward faster. 

A few highlights of this release:

- A Manager user view setting was introduced that allows managers to see the items checked out to their direct reports. This is optionally enabled under `Admin Settings > General`. We may rework this a little more to make that granular on individual users instead of a global setting, but we're waiting to hear feedback from our users to see if that's needed.

- We've standardized the common table features (such as print, advanced search, fullscreen, etc) so that all of the table views should now have mostly the same features to improve consistency.

- We fixed an issue where the SAML XML file would not correctly upload (the workaround was to copy+paste it into the textarea field, but you shouldn't have to do that anymore.)

- We fixed the permissions on EULAs so that users can now correctly download their own EULAs in their profile area.

- We added the ability to send an acceptance/declined email notification to the admin who checked the item out.
