This is not an exhaustive list of the all the changes made since 2.3 but hopefully captures most of them.
The upgrade process will require running the DB migrations: php artisan migrate
. This will update the DB to support all the new 2.5 features. It will
also move the scheduled maintenance from the incidents table into a dedicated
one, as a result any maintenance older (as in scheduled at date) than a day will
be marked as closed, any newer ones will be open and so will appear on the
status page. If you've performed and completed any maintenance in the last day
you'll need to manually login to the dashboard and set the "When did this
maintenance complete?" field.
PHP < 7.1 is no longer supported, you must use PHP >= 7.1 <= 7.3.
- Support for PHP >= 7.2 < 7.4
