Future of the project: v1.23.8 / v1.24 / v2.0

Open cypherbits opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

After merging pull requests https://github.com/DanWin/le-chat-php/pull/75 and https://github.com/DanWin/le-chat-php/pull/76 and https://github.com/DanWin/le-chat-php/pull/77 and fixing issue https://github.com/DanWin/le-chat-php/issues/72 we should release 1.24 as a non-backward compatible release.

We should remake everything for version 2.0

Question: Should we release a bug-vulnerability-fixing version v1.23.8 for people not wanting to upgrade PHP to at least 7.2??

@cypherbits I personally think that this would be a waste of effort because all PHP versions older than 7.2 have already reached EOL and therefore do not receive security updates anymore. Even PHP 7.2 will only receive another three months of security updates before it reaches EOL as well: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

I think moving to the newer versions of PHP would be a good idea but maybe have a branch or explain how to patch that version sometimes people are locked in to the versions of php and platforms there using so it's not about people been unsafe willingly even tho there are a few, I myself would create a wiki page on how to patch it, so the ones who want to do the work can, but once you put that much time in might be easier with a branch already does it lol
