Updated without a problem from 3.3.4

Full update package
PHP: 8.0.10
MySQL(i) 10.5.12-MariaDB
Centos 8, Apache 2.4

[P_I]

Two data points to report using my localhost testing environment and following the steps in https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... date_full/

On a CentOS 8 (Stream) server, with PHP 7. 4.23, the update went smoothly and no issues reported or seen so far during post-update sanity testing.

On a CentOS 7.9 server, with PHP 8.0.10, the update went smoothly and no issues reported or seen so far during post-update sanity testing.

Thanks team.

[Kirk]

The update (manual method) went without problems, thanks team.
The change in the overall_header.html would also have to be made in the simple_header.html.
This Bug still exists!

... in the overall_header.html would also have to be made in the simple_header.html...

Already pushed @ github.

[P_I]

Other than testing the update process and basic sanity testing is there anything else that the development team could suggest as a focus for testing with this update?

[Marc]

No, I don't think there is anything special on top of that which necessarily should be tested.
