We are excited to announce the release of PHP Melody 3.1, which now includes support for PHP 8!

With this release, PHP Melody continues to provide an easy-to-use, customizable and reliable solution for creating and managing video websites. PHP 8 support means that PHP Melody can take advantage of the latest features and performance enhancements of the PHP language, providing even better performance and reliability for your website.

We encourage all PHP Melody users to upgrade to version 3.1 since PHP 7.x will not be supported for long by your webhosting provider. As always, if you have any questions or need assistance with the upgrade, our support team is here to help.

Updating Your PHP Melody Site

Updating is recommended but not necessary if your webhost still supports PHP 7.4 and will do so in the future. We’ve had reports of instances where webhosts update to PHP 8 without warnings so, please take this scenario into consideration.

This update works only if you have the latest version of PHP Melody; version 3.0.1.  If you’re running an older version our team might help you migrate to this release.

As a customer you can download the v3.1 update package from your Customer Account -> “Download Updates” page.
If you require any help in updating your PHP Melody site, please review the official update guide first.

Thank you!

We’re working hard to update both our code and 3rd party libraries (which were not updated) to PHP 8.1. Our release schedule is on track and we’re happy to announce we will be releasing PHP Melody 3.1 with full PHP 8.1 support.

This release will include other bug fixes as well but no new features. Those are reserved post this release.

This week we’re in the final stages of testing the code which will be made available next week (if all goes well).

Looking forward to it so stay tuned.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably a long time fan of our project. Hi there!

We are very grateful for your involvement in our little project which started over 10 years ago. We’re still around and so are you.

So…thank you, thank you, thank you!

Happy holidays. Wishing you and your loved ones a better, brighter and more optimistic year.

Take good care and see you in 2022!

P.S. We’ll be on holiday from December 27nd until January 3rd.

We’ve recently received reports of code vulnerabilities in the latest PHP Melody release. As a result a patch was made available today.

The vulnerabilities are of medium to low severity and would require enhanced user permissions (e.g. admin or editor) to be exploited.

In short, your PHP Melody website is still “safe”! Nevertheless, we recommend patching it ASAP.

The patch is now available in your customer account under the Download Updates page.

All our codebase was updated today so, if you are updating from v2.x to v3.x you do not need to apply this patch. The same is true for new installations. All these packages are, of course, patched.

For any inquiries please don’t hesitate to contact our support. Thank you very much!

P.S. A sincere thank you goes to the Vulnerability-lab.com for sending in their findings and detailed report.

We expect zero downtime or service interruptions in the services we provide.

Thank you for your patience and have a great weekend.
