Re: XC5 - Support for PHP 8.0 & subsequent PHP 8.* releases
 

Initial review shows most if not all 3rd party modules will require complete overhaul/rewrite. This doesn't sound like a major upgrade. More of a new XC5 platform.
The bad news here is 5.5.x "is out of beta" and we did not have a chance to adapt anything to it while it was in beta. Now any new XC5 installations will rely on QT/SL modules only. Any existing XC5 stores will not be able to upgrade for many months.
I have over 30 modules. There is no way all of them will be 5.5.x ready soon especially with holidays around the corner. Maybe thought this is a good thing - it will give a chance for the bugs to be worked out before any of the existing stores move to upgrade.

Since most of my vital/best mods are made by you, I won't be upgrading anything soon. Do keep us abreast of your status in upgrading if possible.

so is 5.5 using php 8.x?? I just updated my xc4 sites to php8 though BCSE (great support) and am wondering status as we have a xc5.4 site still.
