Development of #ampache 7 will need to start this year.
I think this will ready after July 2024 and will raise the minimum #php version to #php82.
It usually takes me about 6 months depending on the removals and changes. I don't intend to make major structural changes to the backend so I think that's an over estimation.
I have a big commit ready here, which splits the Update.php into individual classes. Should I wait until the branch or do we already want to integrate this in Ampache 6?
@ampache The work was a bit monotonous, but it was worth it. The code is clearer and phpstan now runs much faster 😃
I will improve the commit a bit more (especially documentation and tests) - probably I will be done in 1-2 days. The actual update logic won't change, but I could use some help with testing (especially updates from old versions).
@usox I made a few tests with old empty databases from 3.9.0.
I'll see if I can make some sql files for older versions using ampache-test to make sure there is actual content there as well. https://github.com/lachlan-00/ampache-test
