In this version, we will focus to upgrade core and all plugins to make them compatible with php8. PHP 8.0 is a major update of the PHP language. It contains many new features and optimizations. Keeping PHP version up-to-date is highly recommended as it makes the site safer and faster.

Plan: In August – 2023

We are pleased to announce the release of mooSocial 3.1.8 and mobile app 1.8.2.
