1.3.0 Release | InvenTree

# 1.3.0 Release

11 Apr 2026 Oliver

The InvenTree team is excited to announce the release of version 1.3.0. This release includes numerous new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

### Changelog

Major changes are documented in the `CHANGELOG.md` file in the InvenTree repository.

For a full list of changes made in this release, please refer to the release notes.

### Update Procedure

To update to the latest version of InvenTree, please follow the updating instructions provided in the InvenTree documentation. Note that the particular update procedure may vary depending on your installation method.

## Breaking Changes

The following changes may require updates to custom plugins, API clients, or other integrations with the InvenTree application. Please review these changes carefully before updating to version 1.3.0.

### Supplier Part Model Changes

In #11303 we have made a change to the implementation of the supplier part model. While this will not impact most InvenTree users, it may change how custom plugins or external API clients interact with the InvenTree application.

Previously, the Part model had a default_supplier field, which pointed to a single instance of the SupplierPart model. This field has been removed, and instead the SupplierPart model has a primary field - which is a boolean field indicating whether this supplier part is the primary supplier for the associated part. This change allows for more flexible supplier management.

### Plugin Data Import

In #11648 we have added the ability to import custom plugin data from an external data file during the import process. This allows custom plugin data to be migrated across InvenTree instances if required.

### Sqlite Support

In #11500 we have made some changes to our support for Sqlite databases. The default implementation now uses a significantly longer connection timeout, and uses write-ahead logging (WAL) mode by default. This should help to reduce the likelihood of database lockouts when using Sqlite, particularly in environments where multiple users may be accessing the database concurrently.

## Security Fixes

There have been a number of security fixes included in this release. We would like to thank the security researchers who have responsibly disclosed these issues to us, and we encourage anyone who discovers a potential security vulnerability in InvenTree to report it to us via our security policy.

Refer to the individual advisories for more information about the vulnerabilities that were resolved.

### Pull Requests

In addition to the above advisories, the following pull requests were merged to resolve minor security issues:

- #11580 - reduces user scope of the `DataOutput` API endpoint
- #11602 - reduces user scope of the `DataImport` API endpoint
- #11579 - improves data security around static and media file access
- #11659 - adds security banner for superuser accounts

### Project Dependencies

We strive to maintain up-to-date dependencies in the InvenTree project, and we have updated a number of dependencies in this release.

## New Features

### Order Line Numbering

In #11692 we have introduced a “line number” field to external orders, allowing users to specify individual line numbers for each order line. This allows for more flexible ordering and better integration with external systems.

### Generic Parameter Filtering

In #11383 we have significantly overhauled the “parameter filtering” system, allowing for more flexible grouping / filtering of parameters.

### Import by Natural Keys

#11288 we have added the ability to import data using natural keys, allowing for more intuitive and human-readable data imports. This allows imported data to be mapped to existing database entries using natural keys, rather than relying on internal database IDs. This is particularly useful when migrating data between InvenTree instances, or when importing data from external sources.

### Auto-Allocate Tracked Parts

#10887 adds the ability to auto-allocate tracked parts against a build order. This helps to streamline the build allocation process, by providing the auto-allocation feature which has already been available for non-tracked parts.

### Copy Data Cells

#11406 introduces the ability to easily copy data directly from table cells. A small but often-requested feature, this allows users to quickly copy data from the InvenTree interface without needing to open individual detail views.

### Zero Quantity BOM

In #11437 we have added the ability to create a Bill of Materials (BOM) entry with zero quantity. This allows for more flexible BOM management, particularly in cases where a BOM may be used for reference purposes without needing to specify quantities.

### Plugin Cache Busting

#11565 adds a cache-busting mechanism for plugin assets, ensuring that users always receive the latest version of plugin files without needing to manually clear their browser or proxy-server cache. When used in conjunction with the InvenTree plugin creator, this allows plugin developers to easily ensure that users receive the latest version of their plugin assets without needing to worry about caching issues.

### Keep Forms Open

#11074 allows certain forms to remain open after submission, allowing users to quickly submit multiple entries without needing to repeatedly open and close the form. This is particularly useful for data entry tasks where multiple similar entries need to be created in quick succession.

### Task Monitoring

#11527 introduces the ability to monitor the progress of a single long-running background task via the API. This allows the frontend to provide progress feedback to users when performing long-running operations, and automatically refresh the required data once the task has completed.

## Bug Fixes

As always, we have provided a number of bug fixes with this release. Thanks to the many community members who have contributed to identifying and resolving these issues!

### Financial Support

Sponsorships help to keep this project sustainable, and buys time for the core developers to commit to the project. A recurring or one off sponsorship is a great way to help InvenTree development to continue at full steam!

The work undertaken to keep InvenTree running is done by a very small group of core developers, who do so in their spare time (and are not sponsored by their employers to work on InvenTree). If you benefit from the InvenTree project, please consider contributing to maintain vibrant development of this software!
