Topic: Outdated PHP version

Hello, I purchased Showkase Pro Bundle for $95 dollars on 01/14/2016.  In 2021 I received a free upgrade to Version 1.7.6 [25 March 2021], which is compatible with PHP 8. 
Currently PHP is 8.4, making PHP 8 outdated.  According to your website, this is the most updated version. When I purchased the bundle, you promised to provide free upgrades within the same major version up to v1.9.  As of today, you are still promising the same support.
When is the newer version of Showcase Pro Bundle that is compatible with PHP that is higher than 8.0 is coming?

Re: Outdated PHP version

Hi.

I'm not responsible for the wording of the upgrade FAQ but I think it means that if or when there is an upgrade (and as long as the upgrade version is labelled 1.x and not 2.x), then the upgrade will be free. Sorry if there is any confusion there.

It's certainly a shame there have not been any official updates to Showkase recently but I have taken it upon myself (as an official member of the Showkase support team) to keep Showkase up-to-date (with an unofficial patch). It's unofficial as I'm not the author of Showkase and no one asked me to do this but I have tested it quite thoroughly myself and I'd recommend that you try it.

The patch fixes bugs, updates internal libraries and ensures compatibility with PHP 8.4.

You can find a download link (and instructions on how to apply the patch) here.

If you have any questions about the patch, give me a shout. Thanks!
