I was looking around to see if I can upgrade from php 7.4 to 8 and checked ioncube loader, which we need for DaDaBIK.
The wording is a little unclear to me, and I hope I'm reading it wrong, but it seems that the developers are planning a release for php 8 that is not backward compatible with files encoded under earlier versions of ioncube (see https://forum.ioncube.com/viewtopic.php?t=4592&sid=7771b7c992597f7dc1c8b4a04c80132f).
If I'm reading this correctly, this may pose some challenges for you because some DaDaBIK users will be on php 8 quite soon, but others may hold back until end of life of 7.4, and we don't know what version you'll be using to produce the runtime files.
Will you have to distribute files to licensees in two different forms? Any guidance you can provide about how DaDaBIK users should plan to migrate to php 8 (or not) would be very helpful. Thank you!
