The 5.x line installs on PHP 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5. Netgen Layouts is installed by default on PHP 8.4 and later and left out on PHP 8.3, and publishing in the legacy administration works on SQLite.

Added:

  • composer create-project runs bin/add-netgen-layouts at the end: on PHP 8.4 or later it adds Netgen Layouts 2 (netgen/layouts-ibexa, netgen/layouts-standard); on PHP 8.3 the project installs and works without it. EXP_WITHOUT_NETGEN_LAYOUTS=1 leaves it out on PHP 8.4+ too; php bin/add-netgen-layouts adds it later.

Updated:

  • The lock file is resolved for PHP 8.3 (config.platform.php 8.3.0). Up to v5.0.3.4 the line needed PHP 8.4, although it declared 8.3: LegacyBridge 5 and Netgen Layouts 2 required it.
  • The Netgen Layouts and Content Browser bundles and routes are registered only when their packages are installed.
  • The lock takes the kernel with the expui activation and the SQLite id fix, expui 1.0.0.16, LegacyBridge 5.0.14, site-bundle 5.0.5, site-legacy-bundle 5.0.4, xmltext fieldtype 5.0.4, the rich text datatype bundle 5.0.1 and the current database translator. Publishing content with links in the legacy administration on SQLite no longer fails with "database is locked", stored links keep their ezurl:// form, and uploads work on databases the Platform created.
  • README, INSTALL.md and the book (chapters 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12) describe PHP 8.3 and where Netgen Layouts is present; the book's line tables list the newest releases.

Verified from a bare clone with packages from Packagist: composer install from the lock on PHP 8.3 and 8.5 (INSTALL.md SQLite steps, 18/18 pages and sign-ins, rich text publish with a link, 404 pages, no CRITICAL log entries), and composer create-project on PHP 8.5 (Netgen Layouts added, its tables created by the install, its admin answering) and PHP 8.3 (installed without it, no Layouts tables, pages answering).
