Ease3 5.0.0 (PHP7.3, MySQL 5.7 - MariaDB 10.3) is coming soon
Compatible as ever, adding PHP 7.3 and working also with MariaDB and MySQL 5.7
It has been a nice but boring job, full of unespected and unpleasant surprises, sometimes needing infinite patience mixed with a little bit of unconsciousness if not outright madness, but Ease3 has been updated in order to keep all current PHP/MySQL requirements while adding also support for:
- PHP7.3 (and likely PHP8)
- MySQL 5.7
- MariaDB 10.3
All core code has been updated for PHP7.3 and for newer MySQL and MariaDB servers, while mantaining complete compatibility with older PHP and MySQL/MariaDB servers.
mySQLi driver is automatically used if mySQL driver is missing (as of PHP7+).
A compatibility library has been added in order to help debugging/repairing of extensions which use deprecated/obsolete functions. For these extensions we also suggest a (working) SQL compatibile session setup which mantains compatibility with newer SQL servers.
Also some very used extensions have been updated.
Stay tuned!
