Back-end changes
PHP 8.1
Nextcloud 24 is the first major Nextcloud release to work with PHP 8.1. In this release support for PHP 7.3 was dropped. Follow the steps below to make your app compatible.
If
appinfo/info.xml
has a dependency specification for PHP, increase themax-version
to 8.1.
<dependencies>
<php min-version="7.4" max-version="8.1" />
<nextcloud min-version="21" max-version="24" />
</dependencies>
If your app has a
composer.json
and the file contains the PHP restrictions frominfo.xml
, adjust it as well.
{
"require": {
"php": ">=7.4 <=8.1"
}
}
If you have continuous integration set up, extend your test matrix with PHP 8.1 tests and linters and drop any jobs for PHP 7.3.
Information about code changes can be found on php.net and stitcher.io.
Entity slug deprecation
The usage of entity slugs has been deprecated. There is no provided replacement. If your app needs slugs, add your own logic to create them.
