The moment is finally here! PHP 7 is available on Hypernode.
These are the changes we’ve made since the last release:
PHP 7 support
- New PHP version available: 7.0.4.
- You can upgrade in the service panel or try it out in the Vagrant
- Installed modules: Curl, GD, IMAP, intl, mbstring, mcrypt, mysql, ldap, pgsql, pspell, SOAP, tidy, XML, XMLRPC, Redis, igbinary
- If you want to take a look at our Precise 12.04 backport you can find that here.
NB: Although we have a couple customers live on PHP 7 using both M1 and M2, the Redis library is still reported as being unstable.
NB2: There is currently no NewRelic agent module available for PHP 7. See FAQ.
NB3: There is currently no IonCube module available for PHP 7. See FAQ.
