Hi Couch forumites, hi KK!
I a have my website running for some years now with Couch v2.1 and I have currently PHP version 7.0.33. So I am wondering, if I should update my couch to 2.4 version and if it is straight forward thing, as it was in earlier versions. Or is it better to update to a lower version. I do not have time to rearrange my website, if that would be necessary. I stopped building websites some 7 years ago so I am rusty, and would take me a lot of time.
Main main concern is that I am using the old PHP version, and if that might pose some security risks or such. I am not sure if I really need all the new features of newer couch versions. At least not right now.
Is PHP 8 compatible with Couch 2.1 at all?
And, are other couch versions higher than mine straightforward to upgrade or would I need to rewrite some pages?
Thanks in advance!
