SMF 2.1.1 Released

[Arantor]

Because the green tick on the list of topics is too subtle?

I upgraded our forum from RC2 to 2.1.1 and including backup taking, a little bit of debugging and some theme tweaks I think we were down for about 45mins.

Very smooth and 2.1.1 is already miles better than RC2.
Had some failures at the end of the upgrade but I just ran it again and it succeeded.

I did also have to upgrade our php from 7.3 to 7.4 to get over some utf8 conversion issues.

Well done guys and thanks again.

Big thanks to SMF Team. I have just upgraded my forum and everything works well.

sad to see this was not picked up when 2.1 was released and need for a patch so quickly, however excellent to see this being fixed so quickly and hope thatwe will see patches alot quicker when things need addressed.

Amazing work everyone, the 2.1.x series definitely brings SMF way more into the modern future (style and UI wise).

Is there a fixed date for when the 2.0.x branch gets declared EOL?

Is there a fixed date for when the 2.0.x branch gets declared EOL?

• SMF 2.0 remains supported and will continue to receive security updates for the foreseeable future, but this release officially marks the end of further 2.0 development. We will release a separate announcement for any future changes to SMF 2.0's status.

... so, no.

Until 2.0.x gets declared EOL there'll probably a good few that won't upgrade to 2.1 It'll either be 2.0.x getting declared EOL or when hosts start to remove support for older versions of PHP. My gut feeling is that many hosts will soon remove any version of PHP below 7.4 and possibly some might even remove any 7.x versions once 8.2 comes out

Let's get back on topic please.

I'm not quite sure what part of Lex's post was unclear....
