People run software other than Invision on their websites, did that not occur to you? PHP 8.4 has been in General Availability since 2024-11-21. Popular Linux OS' such as Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu support/default to PHP 8.4 Debian 13 ("Trixie" - current) has supported PHP 8.4 since 2025-08-09. Fedora (since the Fedora 42) has supported 8.4 since 2024-11-20. Ubuntu (since the 25.04 release) has supported 8.4 since 2025-04. Quite rude of you to insinuate this is my fault.

Only edited requirements.json - file remains unchanged. Automatic updater halts with the blocking php error.

So since the edit to requirements.json is still not allowing the built in updater to grab the files online and update, what can I do to fix this?

Unfortunately, it does not. As feedback, it really shouldn't have become a problem to begin with. An alert or something sure, but not something that blocks and stops updates which adds to security and stability risks.

Did that, the built in installer still fails with the above error. Edit: Also, how is it that 8.1.0 is deprecated but supported too? Want to add on that Debian is even supporting PHP 8.4.x and they're normally very behind. I sincerely hope you all revert this change, nothing good has come of it.

Unable to update because of this newly absurd block: There has to be some way to bypass this. Been working fine on 8.4 for so many other releases. Not being able to upgrade makes me feel at risk of missing out on security fixes and other important fixes. Before it is suggested, downgrading php is not a viable option. This change should not have been dropped in onto a 5.0.x release, it should have been with a 5.1 release.

I hope we see Cloudflare's Captcha added too.

Will free apps/mods still be supported?
