Note Regarding PHP 8

Many 3rd party or custom extensions may not yet be compatible with PHP 8. If upgrading Blesta, it is best to use a PHP version that is compatible with both the release you are upgrading from and the release you are upgrading to. Test third party integrations and customizations.

Blesta supports PHP 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.1, and 8.2 through Ioncube using the default files, and PHP 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2 through SourceGuardian via the hotfix-php8 directory. Report any PHP 8 related issues for Blesta or official extensions on our forums or Discord #beta channel.

When is the final release?

Version 5.10 will be officially released after the beta phase has completed, which we expect to happen soon. Once we deem 5.10 stable for production, a final release will be issued. You can help speed things along by participating in the beta!
