v20.0.0 First Stable Release!

This is the first non-beta release of the Community Edition! There is more work to be done, just take a look at the open issues, but it has been tested as much as possible and all of the main functionality is in place and working.

Stability

The community is growing but small at the moment, so "first stable release" is relative. We've tested everything we can think of but there may be some features you used in the past that may or may not work.

As always, test before using on a production website.

Compatibility

This version works on PHP 7.4 or higher, and PHP 8.0 and 8.1. In fact we did most of our testing on PHP 8.1.

What's Changed - all changes since v18.02 on legacy platform

Note: these include all changes in all the 20.0.0 beta versions, so it includes everything done since the last "commercial" release of the software by the now closed company (since version 18.02 released commercially).

Full Changelog: v20.0.0-beta.4...v20.0.0-beta.5

v20.0.0-beta.4 - PHP 8 Test Edition

PHP 8 Test Edition:

This release may have more bugs than beta 3 - because we updated the Smarty template engine to the latest version for PHP 8 compatibility. The new Smarty version required changing how we load templates internally, so there is a good chance some areas will not work or will show "template error" errors.

If you want the most stable version - for now stick with beta 3.

Volunteer(s) will be helping to test (Thanks @vicos59 🎉 ) to fix any problems caused by the new version so beta 5 will be much more stable.

In addition, as the title mentions, this is the start to the PHP8 compatibility. With this edition we have confirmed that most of the core functionality (register user, create listing, view listing, browse categories) works in PHP 8 with basic settings.
