With the upcoming beta & release of XenForo 2.2, we'd like to share the roadmap for DragonByte products going into XenForo 2.2. We are committed to supporting the latest version of XenForo, and focus all development efforts on the latest available version at any given time.
Goals
Timeline
XenForo 2.2 Beta 1 Released
Once this is released, all XF 2.1 add-ons will go into "bug fixes only" mode.
No new features will be added, to give us more time to prepare the XF 2.2 versions.
XenForo 2.2 "Gold" Released
Once XenForo 2.2 has gone "gold" (out of beta, fully released), all XF 2.1 versions will go into "security fixes only" mode.
Any bug reports for the 2.1 versions whose issues have been resolved in the 2.2 versions will be closed, unless the issue is critical (e.g. data loss).
Should a security issue be discovered, these will of course be patched in every applicable version.
Goals
- Every XenForo 2.1 product will be compatible with XenForo 2.2 before XenForo 2.2 is officially released (out of beta)
- The minimum PHP requirement for DragonByte add-ons running on XenForo 2.2 will be set to PHP 7.2
- PHP 7.4 will be the recommended version, and a warning will be displayed on install if you are running a PHP version < 7.4
