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.

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)
