Serendipity 2.6-beta1 released!
The project is happy to announce a first beta for Serendipity 2.6, featuring compatibility with PHP 8.4.
Serendipity 2.6-beta1 is the first release of Serendipity that targets compatibility with PHP 8.4. It was again a smaller release on that front, but also includes a couple of other upgrades. Besides various fixes, some significant changes to the latest stable 2.5.0 are:
- PHP 8.4 compatibility for the core
- A better performing integrated cache
- The ability to receive webmentions
- Restored support for the gravatar mode in the gravatar plugin
We would love to get feedback from our users! Please help us in reaching full support for PHP 8.4 by running this version with PHP 8.4 and report bugs (also and especially for plugins) in the forum or the Github issue tracker. Keep in mind that this is still a beta though, so production blogs should have a proper backup and you should be prepared that we might ask you to apply patches, or that we might have to release a new beta with fixes soon.
Please see the release statement on GitHub for more (technical) details.
You can download the release file and unzip it to your installation as usual.
