Upgrade from 18/06A to 20/10A

Submitted by jimskin on Tue, 2021-08-17 13:26 in

Hello,

Do you have a list of files that need to be replaced to upgrade from 18/06A to 20/10A? I couldn't find that information on the changelog page. I'm assuming no database changes are needed for that upgrade.

Also, what PHP version is recommended for 20/10A?

Thanks,

James

Hello James,

20/10A is a basically a maintenance release for PHP 8 compatibility but remains compatible right back to the widely deployed version 5, no feature additions at all.

It does remove the magic quotes functionality which is deprecated in PHP 7 and removed completed in version 8 so for compatibility with an existing installation if you edit includes/widget.php and look for the following code at line 351:

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())

...and REPLACE with:

if (FALSE)

Cheers,
David.
