Hello @Friendica Support how compatible is #Friendica with #PHP 8.2?

It was released today, so soon I will be jumping from 8.1 to 8.2.
I saw already trouble using PHP 8.1 and latest stable of #Friendica...
@Nordnick :verified: yes, that was me with the trouble, but RC works well with 8.1 now.
Me also.

Switched from 8.1 back to 7.4.
@Nordnick :verified: yeah, switching back was not really possible, then I would need to downgrade to many dependencies by hand.

8.1 work OK now.
@Nordnick :verified: I think you can switch to 8.1 without problems, maybe some tiny things, but you could help a lot by reporting problems.
Problem here was, that resetting a user's password didn't work with PHP 8.1.
@Nordnick :verified: maybe I should try that. Resseting via comsole in cli?
No, using the web interface.

Just turned into a white screen... and nothing else happened.
@Nordnick :verified: This should leave a trace in your Friendica and/or web server logs.

8.0 works here like a charm with the current rc.
@Raroun yes, but 8.1 brings some changes that broke some Friendica functions.
@utzer ~Friendica~ You know very well you're the main provider for newer PHP version compatibility issues for Friendica, how would anyone else know?

I've looked over the changelog and it should be seamless. Please keep the deprecation messages coming.

@Hypolite Petovan thanks for this feedback. If In would look in this changelog I would know as much as an hour ago. 🤣

I will keep them coming and am very happy to help. 😍
