Starting Monday, Oct 15, 2018, we are making PHP 7.1 available in our project web hosting as a part of the newer https sourceforge.io hosting option. Those remaining on the older http sourceforge.net hosting will continue to utilize PHP 5.4. For those who are not familiar with the sourceforge.io project web hosting, keep in mind that any current links to your project web pages will continue to be valid since the old paths will redirect to the new. However, you may need to do some domain tweaking in your files to handle the difference (and to avoid superfluous redirections) and to make some http-to-https protocol tweaks for linked materials to avoid warnings about insecure files.
We chose the 7.1 release as our first version of PHP 7 because it offers more backward compatibility features than going straight to 7.2 or 7.3. In the future we will be upgrading PHP to newer versions of 7.x, so users are encouraged to check for compatibility warnings and fix them to future-proof their apps.
For the transition we have created a list of projects that are already on the sourceforge.io hosting but aren't yet ready for PHP 7 so that we can temporarily exclude them from the upgrade while reaching out to the project admins to let them know about the issue. We also provide a way for admins to test their website under PHP 7 before making the switch. Visit our Project Web Services documentation page to learn more. | "Staff Choice" Project of the Month
For our October "Staff Pick" Project of the Month, we selected Universal Media Server ,a DLNA-compliant UPnP Media Server that streams many media formats with minimal configuration. Universal Media Server was previously elected "Community Choice" Project of the Month in March 2014 where project founder and lead developer Klaus Townsend spoke about the project's developments and direction. Recently we caught up with Klaus to find out how the project has been doing since then.
Check out the full interview with the developers on our blog here. | Related Projects
