This release adds translations for Japanese & Arabic and increases the minimal required PHP version to 7.3.

In addition to the two new translations for the Japanese & Arabic languages, the Email-button is now a configurable option, but still enabled by default.

The minimum supported PHP version is now 7.3, due to having upgraded the PHP unit test framework which no longer supports older PHP releases. This simplifies our development (we no longer need to maintain a parallel branch that ensured PHP 8 compatibility) and let us drop a library that provided a more cryptographically secure random function to PHP 5.

Update procedure

As usual, you can download the archive for a manual upgrade and can find more details in the installation instructions.

We also offer a container images using the nginx web server with php-fpm and one using the nginx unit application server, that include the recommended secure setup with the non-essential files and data outside of the web servers document root.
