Hey everyone,

For the new release of CIPP we have a couple of required interactions, so pay close attention to these release notes!

This release contains many bug fixes, over 20 implemented feature requests and quality of life improvements and many cool features. You now gain the ability to create and edit Distribution Groups and Mail Enabled Groups. You can also pull a full list of all tenant licenses now using a new queuing system - This way you don't get a pesky timeout and are able to list all the tenants all at once.

This release also contains a pretty awesome new feature by @JohnDuprey - Our CIPP Maintenance script generator. This generates a script with the correct variables to perform specific tasks on your CIPP instance.

We especially like to thank our release sponsors, OITVOIP, NinjaOne, Immybot,Huntress, HaloPSA, and Deskdirector.

A special sponsor spotlight this release for HaloPSA. Halo has created buttons within HaloPSA that jump directly to CIPP pages via our deep-linking feature, making it easy to jump from a ticket, to a users mailbox permissions, overview, or even perform a BEC check directly from the PSA.

The changelog below contains only the most important changes. There's also some interaction required as this release requires some backend updates. If you're a hosted client, these updates are performed for you.

Required interaction

Our new alerts on the dashboard will help you get the most out of CIPP, such as changing to .NET4 and PowerShell 7.2 is now highly recommended; you'll notice an immediate performance increase.

Another required interaction if you want to cut down on costs is to migrate to v1 Storage in Azure. Microsoft has found a bug with their Azure Storage SMB requests that increases costs for Azure functions. This is especially noticeable with Alerts enabled.

You can cut down the costs to a near static $15,- a month by going to CIPP's settings menu -> Maintenance tab, and generating the script "Migrate-CIPP-Storage.ps1".

This script will migrate your instance to v1 Storage. Click the "Create Link" button and execute the link you get in an Azure CloudShell. This will not migrate all settings so be prepared to recreate your exclusions.

I hope you all enjoy this release.
