🎉 Community Builder 2.9.1 released: Embracing new PHP 8.3! 🥳

We're excited to announce the release of Community Builder 2.9.1, a significant update that introduces verified support for the latest PHP 8.3 release. With this integration, Community Builder ensures compatibility with the newest advancements in PHP technology. This update also includes an updated and more friendly handling of obsolescence warnings for old unmaintained versions of PHP, MySQL and Joomla, providing more clarity and guidance on maintaining up-to-date server environments.

PHP 8.3 Compatibility and Performance Boost

PHP 8.3, recently released by the PHP development team, brings a host of improvements, including a notable 28% speed increase for Joomla, as benchmarked here.

It's important to note that PHP 8.0 has reached its end of life for security support, and PHP 8.1 is no longer receiving bug-fix maintenance releases. While Linux distributions might offer minimal security maintenance, we strongly recommend selecting an officially supported PHP version (currently 8.3, 8.2 or 8.1) for your site through your hosting panel.

🔗 All our latest CB and CB Add-ons have been tested and run seamlessly on PHP 8.3, ensuring a smooth experience for your Joomla-powered community websites.

Our demo site is already running on PHP 8.3, showcasing the compatibility and stability of Community Builder with the latest PHP release.
