Grav v1.8 Beta 2

I just noticed there's a beta version of v1.8 CMS. There's an upgrade link in the README, but it leads to a 404 page 😅 But there are some notes in the CHANGELOG

Anyone tried it yet? 🙂

Hi @Karmalakas , yes I've been trying the new beta builds with test builds with my four Grav Skeletons and so far my themes + skeletons have been working well: https://test.hibbittsdesign.org (running on PHP 8.4).

Here is the note Andy posted on Discord:

Grav 1.8.0-beta.1 has been released. The primary purpose of this release is to update PHP version to 8.2 as a minimum, and also to update the core + vendor libraries to latest versions. This is a fairly involved job as we're jumping from Symfony 4 to the latest Symfony 6, plus Twig 1 to Twig 2 (3 breaks compatibiity to much), and many other big version jumps in dependencies. This release NEEDS TESTING! Please help by testing on existing sites, by installing 1.8 and copying the user/ folder from an existing to site to the new 1.8 installation. PLEASE DON'T RUN 1.8-beta IN PRODUCTION!!! Download via the Grav site: https://getgrav.org/downloads

Beta 2 is now available via GetGrav.org.

Do you know if there's some timeline or just a natural flow? 🙂

Unfortunatelly I can't really test, because I don't have PHP 8 support on my hosting. It's provided by my ex-colleague and it's pretty cheap, so I'm not pushing him too much yet :D

No timeline yet, and 1.7.x is also still getting updates and releases (1.8x will be fully compatible with PHP above 8.2 if I understand correctly)
