it breaks an entire system. Why do standards keep changing so much to render an entire system needing an upgrade cause someone changes the syntax.
ridiclous.
I would have not phrased it that way, but I agree with your sentiment. I chose this framework as a replacement for long term supported Laravel in an enterprise environment. In Codeigniter, only the most current version is patched. I chose Codeigniter for the increased speed, especially since I was not using many of Laravel’s included features.
Currently I have locked my version to < 4.5.0 and am trying to standardize on that for now. I am currently working on migrating an older 4.4.x project and then I know I have a 4.3.x one that needs to be moved to my new standard.
We can confidently use the latest PHP 8.3 version without fear of breakage, In my experience, the same cannot be said for Codeigniter.
Yeah I was in a bit of a pissy mood, cause I was trying 4.5.1 and I decided to just keep 4.4.1 for now and lock down that version for now. I started my project back in Novemeber of last year, and it sat for a few months, and now a bunch of stuff changes again. It's frustrating, but I will build another application on 4.5.x most likely. I think its a better to approach an EOL for a software instead of updating it too much. So I will take that aproach instead of updating all the time.
I love codeigniter for the same reasons light weight and speed. Been using it since Version 1.8ish days. So yeah things change, but sometimes I wonder if some people get a kick out of breaking peoples code and making them work to get their applications updated lol.
You can probably use the latest 4.4 (4.4.8?) That is what I chose, at least until I get confidence in 4.5 It was patches 2 weeks after release.
