Hello ,

This email is just to detail some new releases on the way. These will be released in Jan 2025.

You can follow changes on the relevant websites. The free systems will also be updated, but not until the above are completed.

A couple of things to note with the upcoming releases:

1. All software releases from now will require a min PHP version of 8 to run. Older versions are no longer supported.

2. All software now uses the Latte template engine. The older Savant template engine, which we have used for years, has now been removed as it is way out of date and no longer updated. We felt now was a good time to go with something more modern and secure. Unfortunately, due to the different syntax, previous themes will not be compatible with Latte. Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. 

3. Payment gateways, where applicable, have been updated, so when upgrading make sure your gateway callbacks and/or api versions are up to date. Most notable change is for Paypal as we have removed the IPN system in favour of the Rest API.

More information on the way very soon. Sorry updates have been slow, but we are gradually getting everything back on track. A new affiliate system is on the way too, so a few things to look forward to. Future updates should also see dark themes and Docker support as well as 2FA.

Finally, thank you for supporting Maian Media software. We wish you all the very best for a terrific 2025.
