Fair enough. The only reason I mentioned it was to attract more users. My sites run on php 7.2 and admittedly I am happy with the speeds.
I just checked on Dreamhost – 7.2 is the oldest version offered, 7.3 is recommended, and 7.4 is available. I am pretty sure I manually upgraded all my sites off 5.6 – 5.7 was never an option – a while back.

PHP 5.6 was the last release branch from PHP 5, PHP 6 was skipped (and yet, there are still printed books on PHP 6), PHP 7 was the new hotness.
As it stands now, PHP 7.2 is in extended security support until December, 7.1 and 7.0 are EOL.

Done. Landing page updated: removed beta-demo (for now), replaced with prev-demo.

Re: Textpattern CMS demo site
No changes to tech stack, beta-demo offline for now, and prev-demo is now on the landing page.
Demo server tech stack (current as of post timestamp):

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Release Demo | Textpattern 4.8.1 | Nginx 1.19.0 | Percona Server 8.0 | PHP 7.4.7 (PHP-FPM) |

Yiannis, please don’t take any sniping from me as a sleight on you, absolutely nothing you’ve said or done. My frustrations are with old software, not you!
No worries. It often happens to me too. We live in very frustrating, but thankfully interesting times.

Re: Textpattern CMS demo site
I am rebuilding the landing page to house the existing and upcoming demo sites.
So far, I have:
release-demowithphp74(current Textpattern release, current PHP)prev-demowithphp73(most recent release from previous branch, most recent from previous branch [if combination works, otherwise current PHP])beta-demo(most recent Textpattern beta, current PHP)dev-demo/dev(Textpattern from GitHubdevbranch, current PHP)dev-demo/4.8.2(Textpattern from GitHub current branch, current PHP)dev-demo/devwithphp-src(Textpattern from GitHubdevbranch, PHP from GitHubmasterbranch)dev-demo/devwithphp-next(Textpattern from GitHubdevbranch, PHP from upcoming PHP major or minor release)
I appreciate there’s a lot to digest there.
What’s missing, if anything?

Re: Textpattern CMS demo site
Hi Pete, just wondering if there is an opportunity to use the Textpattern .com styling on the demo landing page (https://textpattern.co/demo) just for a nice bit consistency with the main website?
Can see anything layout on there that we can’t do with the current CSS and HTML.
Let me know if this is feasible – and if so, maybe let me have the template/HTML for it and I will refactor?

Re: Textpattern CMS demo site
Also (and this might be a stretch) we could use demo.textpattern.com for the URL too. Not sure how that fits into your plans for https://textpattern.co/ so I apologise if I’m overstepping.

I’ve gone back and forth on this a lot. The original plan was to have the demo site offered for anyone to use, and Textpattern Consulting (on the to-do list) foots the server bill and my time for maintenance etc. Not much happened officially with Textpattern Consulting in the past years, but it’s now getting paid work (albeit without its own site, ironically).
I am making the landing page prettier, along with sundry other improvements, but I need to be careful there are no blurred lines between .com (here) and .co (there) since there’s business involved. Current plan is to redo the landing page properly, explain towards the bottom that it’s technically a third-party site compared to the official Textpattern network, but has some sort of loose approval from Textpattern HQ.
When I get Textpattern paid work in, I can offset that with time and work here, so everyone hopefully benefits from the paying client, in a roundabout sort of way. Is that reasonable?
