Hello Laborix,

Thank you for the quick & dirty test. That was to be expected. I have recorded it here. Smatry 4 (including Smarty 4.5.3) only supports PHP 7.1 to PHP 8.3. We will have to get used to Smarty 5 in the near future.

With best regards
Frank

Hello everyone,

Since PHP 8.4 will be released in October this year, it is necessary to switch from Smarty 4 to Smarty 5 in FlatPress.
I have created a branch on GitHub and have already started to replace Smarty methods and properties. Unfortunately, the work is not finished yet. I am therefore looking forward to your active support and pull requests.

A to-do list can be found here.

With best regards
Frank

... Since PHP 8.4 will be released in October this year, it is necessary to switch from Smarty 4 to Smarty 5 in FlatPress. ...

Quick info, PHP 8.4 is planned for November 21, 2024.

Regardless of this, PHP 8.3 will be provided with security patches until December 31, 2027. So there should actually be plenty of time.
I will still test FlatPress 1.3.1 with PHP 8.4 Alpha 3, from beta development onwards, mostly only bugs are fixed.

... I will still test FlatPress 1.3.1 with PHP 8.4 Alpha 3, ...

The PHP 8.4.0 alpha 3 was surprisingly skipped and a PHP 8.4.0 alpha 4 was released instead.
Before anything happens again I'll wait for the PHP 8.4.0 feature freeze and then do the mentioned test with PHP 8.4.0 beta 1.
Better to wait before anything else happens ...
