Farewell

Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I announce that I cease all development and activity in the programming universe indefinitely. My career has reached the turning point I was not expecting for at least another year, leaving me highly off guard and without laid-out plans for this hobby's continuity. I have begun a 5-year residency program in Neurosurgery which is clearly not compatible, time-wise, with programming.

I gave in all my passion for developing, and you gave me back your loyalty and trust, even when I did not deserve that much. Now it is the time for payback. I release all my present and past work as Open Source software, in the hope some talented developer will continue maintaining and expanding my vision of a modern, sleek forum software. The intrinsic flexibility of MyBB is the true hidden gem of an otherwise outdated codebase; I do hope the project can continue and be updated complying to the latest coding standards.

I hereby thank Euan, kawaii, andrewjs18, Ben, Matt, Omar G., effone, Eric J., Devilshakerz, Wildcard, JordanMussi and all the other team members I have had the opportunity to work with when I was a MyBB team member. I thank Tomm M, my mentor, who inspired me to pick up coding with his piece-of-art plugins. And finally, I thank all of you MyBBoost subscribers who have helped me getting through my toughest university years economically.

Yours sincerely, Filippo

Does Flyover Work In PHP Version 7.2.14?

This issue is marked as solved
As the post title indicates, I am wondering if Flyover will work in PHP 7.2.14 (current version for my website) because of the requirements as of this post is PHP 7.1 or older.

I have NOT installed Flyover on my website because I wanted to make certain that Flyover will work.

Actually, it's PHP 7.1 or newer. PHP 7.2 is supported (I am running 7.2.8 just fine, and I don't think subminor versions are prone to introduce breaking changes). PHP 7.3 is a different matter, as I still have to run some tests on it. Besides, it's unlikely the plugin will not work in newer PHP versions. Warnings should be the only thing that might pop up, but even then:
1) they can be hidden to the public by logging them to a file instead;
2) they do not (usually) break the plugin's functionality.

If something is found to break important features of my plugins, a hotfix is usually dispatched within days.

Great!

I misread that requirement part about the PHP version. The '<' symbol is "less than", meaning older than.

This line → - PHP 7.1 <;

It's actually where you put the symbol that adds context and meaning. 7.1 < is the same as > 7.1: that's how math works. Btw I'm in the process of updating both the site and some docs so it doesn't bother me to be changed to a "+" if you feel like it's necessary.
