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

[islander]

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.

At the moment, it is not possible to make this CE branch official because of how the site is managed.
I do not know if it is due to the admins lack of time, access to hosting, or other.
With many people being forced to upgrade to 8.x and no official fix, this was put into place just to keep peoples sites alive and hopefully the project going.
Weather it goes the ModX way or not is still up in the air, but there is a good possibility.
There has are already been a 3.3.17 & 3.4 in the pipeline for a very long time, but it has been left untouched, as far as I can see. A few years I think.
So until the site devs start making official updates, this is the only fix for the time being.
And none of this is being done to create waves in the community, on the contrary, attempting to keep it alive.
