The MFGG mainsite is finally running PHP 7.4! I know PHP 7.4 still isn't the latest and greatest PHP, but it's progress. It sure is a step up from PHP 5.6, which we had been using. So what does this mean for you? Well, it should mean you enjoy better performance - PHP 7.x offers some substantial performance improvements over PHP 5.x. PHP 7 is more secure as well. Plus, it'll be easier for us to develop new stuff for MFGG when we're running on more modern infrastructure. While PHP upgrades aren't terribly exciting, they help ensure that MFGG can remain healthy and happy for many years to come. (The farther you fall behind with upgrading infrastructure, the harder it is to catch up.) Upgrading PHP required code changes in a lot of different components. That means we might run into a few bugs along the way. If you find any error messages or unexpected behavior, please shoot me a PM. Or, better yet, make a ticket in the Suggestions forum so we can track it to completion. Recent Additions Graphics Sounds, Music

Dang, I don't envy you. I've had to upgrade our sites at from from 7 to 8 and I thought that was an enormous pain.

@Vertette Indeed! Going from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7 is a pretty big jump, requiring a lot of tedious troubleshooting. Eventually I'll go up to PHP 8.2 or 8.3, but I need some time to recover! |
