Well today I have a good news for all of you. The Beta version of Mys v1.3.6 is ready, and it comes with these new updates:
1. Full Fledged MVC architecture with proper data models
2. PHP 7/8 Compatibility
3. Custom Smarty Templates
4. New Password Hashing using BCrypt
5. Miscellaneous QoL Updates
As you see, Mys v1.3.6 does not introduce new features, and all the updates are effectively QoL updates or bug fixes. The new version is compatible with PHP 7/8, it currently runs smoothly on my PHP 7.4 server. The minimum PHP version has also been bumped up to PHP 5.4, so you wont be able to use Mysidia v1.3.6 if you are stuck on PHP 5.3 server. Once the official release is ready, new accounts on MysidiaHost will be using PHP 7.4 by default.
Note: This is not the stable release which will come out in about 2 weeks. It is for users who wish to experiment with new features in Mys v1.3.6, as well as testing it for bugs and other issues that will be fixed in the official release. It currently does not have an upgrader from Mys v1.3.5, nor do I guarantee that the MyBB integration is working yet. I will also release an RC version in about 7-10 days, which should be the one last step before the stable release at the end of August. Stay tuned.
