Patch #2 Released for V2.5.0

Nov 22, 2019

NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL THIS PATCH ON A SERVER RUNNING PHP v5.5.x!!! Your web site will no longer run! PHP versions older than v5.6 are very obsolete and we do not support them. The next version may also remove support for PHP v5.6 and v7.0 since they are considered obsolete. ...

Mar 14, 2019

Version 2.5.0 or 'Puffy Puffin' is now in the wild! It adds PHP v7.3.x support and formally removes support for PHP versions older than 5.6.x. We fixed a number of Twitter Bootstrap v4 issues, and many other issues were also fixed and some other things have been tweaked.

We've also added support for IIS servers along with a sample configuration for NGINX servers. We've tweaked many things to ensure we are HTTP/2 compliant which should result in removing issues about cross domain loading of files. Furthermore many issues and other things have been tweaked. We strongly encourage all Exponent installations be upgraded to v2.4.3 as soon as practical! ...

Jan 1, 2018

To help ring in 2018, we've released version 2.4.2, 'Awaited Appearance'. There are a number of changes, new features, and countless fixes...especially since our most recent update v2.4.1patch6.

It however removes support for PHP v5.3 and v5.4 which have been considered obsolete for a long time. We do still support web servers running PHP v5.6 and v7.0, even though each are no longer recommended.
