+# Re2o 2.9
+
+## Install steps
+
+To install the latest version of Re2o, checkout the [dedicated wiki entry](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/wikis/User-Documentation/Quick-Start#update-re2o).
+
+## Post-install steps
+
+### MR 531: FreeRADIUS Python3 backend
+
+On the Radius server, add `buster-backports` to your `/etc/apt/sources.list`:
+```bash
+echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
+```
+
+**Note:** If you are running Debian Bullseye, the package should already be available without going through backports.
+
+Then install the new required packages:
+```bash
+apt update
+apt install -t buster-backports freeradius
+cat apt_requirements_radius.txt | xargs sudo apt -y install
+```
+
+### MR 582: Autocomplete light
+
+On the Re2o server, install the new dependency and run `collectstatic`:
+```bash
+sudo pip3 install -r pip_requirements.txt
+python3 manage.py collectstatic
+```
+
+### MR 589: Move ldap to optional app
+
+Add `ldap_sync` to your optional apps in your local settings if you want to keep using the LDAP synchronisation.
+
+### Final steps
+
+As usual, run the following commands after updating:
+```bash
+python3 manage.py migrate
+sudo service apache2 reload
+```
+
+## New features
+
+Here is a list of noteworthy features brought by this update:
+
+* [!488](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/488): Use `+` in searches to combine keywords (e.g. `John+Doe`).
+* [!495](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/495): Add optional behavior allowing users to override another user's room, if that user is no longer active.
+* [!496](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/496): Add option to allow users to choose their password during account creation. They will have to separately confirm their email address.
+* [!504](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/504): Add setting to change the minimum password length.
+* [!507](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/507): New form for editing lists of rights that should make everyone happier.
+* [!512](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/512): Add ability to comment on tickets.
+* [!513](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/513): IP and MAC address history (`Statistics > Machine history` tab) which also works for deleted interfaces. Uses already existing history so events before the upgrade are taken into account.
+* [!516](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/516): Detailed events in history views (e.g. show `old_email -> new_email`).
+* [!519](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/519): Add ability to filter event logs (e.g. to show all the subscriptions added by an admin).
+* [!569](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/569): Refactor navbar to make menu navigation easier.
+* [!569](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/569): Add ability to install custom themes.
+* [!578](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/578) : Migrations squashed to ease the installation process.
+* [!582](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/582): Improve autocomplete fields so they load faster and have a clearer behavior (no more entering a value without clicking and thinking it was taken into account).
+* [!589](https://gitlab.federez.net/re2o/re2o/-/merge_requests/589): Move LDAP to a separate optional app.
+* Plenty of bux fixes.
