Topic: SMF 2.0.14 Released

[chyg]

Thanks for this release time to update my final servers to php 7!

Hello! You have already purchased the SMFHacks suite, the display version is not compatible! Is there a technical support or a paid installation? SMF1.0.14

[vbgamer45]

Do you need help with upgrading SMF? What  SMF version are you on?

Hello! Has purchased the kit, showing the version is not compatible! Is there a technical support or a paid installation? （SMF1.0.14）

Thanks for this release time to update my final servers to php 7!

I am sorry, but that sentence did not make much sense. What did you purchase? And also this thread is not for support requests

[SpyDie]

The fact it requires a specific version is fine, and makes sense, and you can make it in big red letters for people to not miss and people will still miss it.

Something to consider next time: bumping the minor version would also have made sense here or, if possible (I don't know what new code has caused this requirement), have two seperate releases. One for the patch fixes, and then a minor version upgrade for the new PHP version (which is still old so you've got the ability to be backwards compatible to a degree).

Personally, I saw this as a patch upgrade and assumed it would be upgrade without fault. Every other SMF patch upgrade has, until this one.

[Arantor]

No, bumping the minor version would not have made sense given that there is already a 2.1 with literal years of more development.

The new code that caused this requirement was code backported from 2.1 that fixes some issues with PHP 7, except no-one checked it required PHP 5.4 before releasing it (and it was too late to redo it in a more compatible way, though I gather SMF 2.0.15 will fix that)

[Steve]

I guess I'll keep asking this until someone answers. If I'm on 2.0.13 and PHP 5.3 with no way to go to 5.4, how do I get to 2.0.15 if .14 isn't going to work on my forum?

And yes Kindred, I know, I know, not for support. Sorry.

[vbgamer45]

I guess you would install 2.0.15 instead of 2.0.14 if that is the goal?

  glad it is still being actively updated

I make my update from 2.0.13 to 2.014 today.

Then i have problems with my database connection.

Solution:
The database must be also a higher version.
Server-Version: 5.5.47-0+deb7u1 - (Debian) ----- don't work

Now i have
5.7.12 - MySQL Community Server (GPL) ----work now


Perhaps you can write this to the requirement:
php must be higher 5.4
mysql must be higher than

[Arantor]

I don't think it's entirely about the server version; there is no reason why 5.5 wouldn't work (I still have one deployment on MySQL 5.5 and it seems to work out OK), but I asked for more details in your support topic.

Nice Work Thank you

[Torngate]

Works great, thanks for the update guys!!

[Arantor]

So when are we getting the bugfix release?

[d3vcho]

Still some work left to do. Developers are busy this days.

Not being funny, but it's been 2 months since this release went out with a number of bugs... any news?

[d3vcho]

No news so far, Arantor. We're still waiting for the developers. Hopefully, we'll get news soon.

[ForumMix]

Hi, have just installed the latest version and the installation went well. But when everything is clear to get up this environment. And with an IP-address 127.0.0.1

What do I do now?
