PHP 7.1.0 – Portable_XH 1.9
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2016 5:53 pm
Hi!
PHP 7.1.0 is scheduled to be released the day after tomorrow. Therefore I have prepared Portable_XH 1.9dev1 (~6.5MB) which contains CMSimple_XH 1.6.7 and a rather minimal custom build of PHP 7.1.0RC6.
Portable_XH 1.9dev1 requires a somewhat contemporary 64bit Windows OS; see README.txt for details.
I encourage everybody to test with as many plugins/addons/templates as possible – there may be incompatibilities with PHP 7.1 (and also perhaps bugs in PHP 7.1). Please report any issues you find. Also note that some plugins might require some PHP features which are not (yet) built-in into Portable_XH's PHP build – please also report those issues, so I may extend the PHP build.
Also consider to enable debug-mode during testing to catch even minor issues. Note that in this case some deprecation notices ("Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; …") will appear which are relatively harmless (even though not as harmless as I'd expected).
