PROBLEM changedata fails with http500 after php update to 8.x

[bonaventure]

Thats definitely a bummer!

And those are odd files to get a diff from. Did you see what the diffs are?

Regardless, past versions of GS will not work past php7.4.
So my recommendation would be to overwrite changed files with good ones.
Look at uploads folder for any strange files.

Then upgrade to the new "Community Edition" which supports 8.x
If you are on 8.1, you may want to opt for v2

Hope this helps

what you are saying is that I should upgrade to 3.3.16CE2

CE and CE2 seem to be nonfunc changes only on php 8 syntax,
both containing some functional enhancements and bug fixes, as I see from diff :-p

could you pls elaborate on what you plan to be the dev roadmap? Will it diverge like MODX into 2 projects?

Whats the motivation not to make an official 3.4?
normal way would be to name the "CE" 3.4.0, cause it contains bugfixes and new functions
and CE2  3.5 or maybe 3.4.1 cause it adapts "arrays" to new syntax.
BTW the main contributors shouldnt fork ... this makes feel me bad about the future of this thingie.

regarding the diffs: I dont have time to investigate this in detail - as the files are minified it's PIT* to read that code,
I suspect this might have nothing to do with the error, but is a reliq of the student who "maintained" this before.
I'll just upgrade with CE2 now and we'll see what happens.

thx + br
