• Notable changes
  • Update dependencies to latest versions - Updated dependencies like Symfony and the TextFormatter to their latest versions
  • Deny installations of 3.2 on PHP 7.3 - Due to the dependencies used in phpBB 3.2 and its minimum PHP version 5.4.7, it's currently not possible to run phpBB 3.2 on PHP 7.3
• Hardening
  • Remove support for backup download - Removed support for downloading database backups via the ACP UI. This is to prevent the possibility of a database compromise on gaining access to a founder account

Soo if I am currently running php 7.2 with phpBB 3.2.5 without a single issue I must either downgrade php or not update phpBB ?

PHP 7.3 gives errors

[CheGuevara]

Mistake in my original post, I meant 7.3. There are no errors.

You may not have encountered them yet but they are there.

[CheGuevara]

If I have not encountered them in about a month on a production board, I find that highly unlikely. My point was that denying installation for those that are willing to take the responsibility, when it's clearly working fine for some, is annoying, a warning would've sufficed. Especially since knowing phpBB production speeds 3.3 will be released around the time of the second coming...
