Hi @doneforyou As far as I know, OJS 3.4 and maybe 3.3.0.9 will be compatible with PHP8, but they aren’t officially released yet. Best Jason

@jnugent when we can expect official release? Also may I know the key features of upcoming versions

@doneforyou I don’t have a list of 3.4 features handy, but 3.4 is due out in “second quarter 2022”. I’m also not sure when 3.3.0.9 will come out, but probably soon.

Hi @doneforyou , OJS 3.3.0-9 will be released within the next week or two, and should be compatible with PHP 8.0. OJS 3.4.0 is scheduled for the second quarter of this year, but might slip a little from there, and should be compatible with PHP 8.1. Regards, Alec Smecher Public Knowledge Project T…

@asmecher thanks, since I am using 3.3.0.7, what are the beat stepa to move to 3.3.0.9?

Hi @doneforyou , OJS 3.3.0-7 and 3.3.0-9 will be “database-compatible”, so you should be able to just update the code. There is comprehensive upgrade documentation here: How to Upgrade How to upgrade Open Journal Systems (OJS) and other PKP software, including a step-by-step tutorial. …

@asmecher In error.log I am not seeing any error but I will recheck again, possible the other installed plugin may have the issue…

@asmecher Also good to jump from 3.3.0.7 to 3.3.0.9 directly?

Hi @doneforyou , Yes, you can jump directly. Regards, Alec Smecher Public Knowledge Project Team

Hi @doneforyou,

Those are data inconsistencies in your database. You should be able to ignore them for now but if you’re curious there are other threads in the forum about those messages.
