Re: Feedback: Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 beta.1 released
Thank you very much, Stef!
The web provider does not enable MySQLi by default. Enabling the corresponding feature allows TXP to work perfectly with PHP 8.3.
You are a master!
Patrick.

Re: Feedback: Textpattern CMS 4.9.0 beta.1 released
Sanity check request before I file a bug…
I’ve installed 4.9.0 beta 1 on a fresh Hetzner hosting account, and the textpattern/setup directory exists after install. The diagnostics shows ‘All checks passed’, where previously it flagged the textpattern/setup directory.
Single user on a shared server (I know, this is not like me at all…), permissions on the textpattern/setup directory are 755 at upload time.
Has the diagnostics changed to ignore a present textpattern/setup directory, or should I be filing a bug?
Thank you.

Yes. It ignores the setup dir check if the release is flagged as ‘dev’. We don’t flick the ‘final’ flag over until actual release, so betas will ignore the setup dir and checksums etc to avoid unnecessary noise.
EDIT: Not sure if that’s the right thing to do given that this is technically a ‘release’. Maybe we should introduce a txp_is_beta flag too and conditionally switch some diagnostics stuff on that rather than txp_is_dev?

That’s a good angle. I’m using beta 1 in production, and there’s a fine line to tread between having people actually use it and keeping the security aspect on lock.
No skin in the game here, I can delete easily enough, but that’s a good idea.

Thanks, Bloke – that looks very reasonable. I’ll open an RFC in the other place so we can keep track.
