The first beta version of Geeklog v2.2.1 is now available for download.

This version of Geeklog now fully supports PHP v7.3. The minimum PHP requirements have changed, they have gone from v5.3.3 to v5.6.4. In part for security reasons, we decided to update the minimum requirements of PHP to v5.6 since this is the only version of PHP v5 that has received any security updates in the last year. The system requirements for installing Geeklog v2.2.1 is now:

• PHP 5.6.4 or higher
• MySQL 4.1.2 or higher (MySQL 5 recommended)
• Postgresql 9.1.7 or later

New major features, improvements and fixes in this version include:

I just wanted to give an update on Geeklogs next release. I was hoping it would happen by the summer but that unfortunately looks not to be the case. We are hard at work on Geeklog v2.2.1 and hope to see the first beta by September 2019.

Some of the new features in Geeklog v2.2.1 include:

• New PHP Session Handling System (move to use PHP built in system)
• A Likes System for articles, comments and plugins (can include likes and/or dislikes)
• PHP 7.2 and PHP 7.3 support
• Updates to the latest library files for CKEditor, jQuery, Uikit, etc...
• Plus more and a large number of bug fixes as well...

Update (2019-06-24): Please note for Geeklog v2.2.1 we plan to up the minimum PHP version required to PHP v5.6.
