Thanks team.

I have downloaded and updated my localhost testbed from phpBB 3.3.2 following https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... date_full/. Update went smoothly and without issue. Quick sanity test shows board operating as expected.

Testing environment is CentOS Stream release 8 with PHP 7.4.14.

Reading between the lines that doesn't indicate compatibility with PHP 8, just getting closer and addressing any known issues. Is that correct?

Per SOP I'm guessing PHP 8 compatibility will be available when it is ready, so probably not this specific update.

Hi
I have installed phpBB 3.3.3-RC1, on ACP/General I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '-phpbb' at line 2 [1064]

SQL

SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM kirk-phpbb

But this error only occurs in ACP/General all other categories work without problems.

It's somewhat hard to explicitly know when all potential PHP 8.0 issues are resolved. The planning right now is to support PHP 8.0 but I'd also like to note that there are still a few issues possible and there can be additional incompatibilities caused by extensions.

Could it be that something is wrong within quick links?
Can't close it anymore?

Edit:
In the footer, the quick links for mobile viewing have even disappeared.

I also don't think I'm doing anything wrong as I've never had a problem with an update in the last 15 years

May be a style and/or language problem

It works in my phpBB 3.3.3-RC1 test installation just fine. I think you have a JS error something like this.
