(Updated 3/4/23) Though initially released as v3.0.0rc1, the version was changed internally to v3.0.1 so the two versions (v2.7.x & v3.0.x) would mimic each other in minor version. This better identifies similarity in features between both branches. This will become apparent with the imminent release of a patch #1 to both v2.7.1 and (now) v3.0.1. There have been no issues noted with the v3 initial release.

Version 2.7.1 or 'Bully Balloons' is now available! We/ve added support for PHP v8.1 and v8.2. We also fixed quite a number of issues with those PHP versions and Twitter Bootstrap v5 support. There are also many other things have been tweaked or fixed. If your server PHP version supports it (v5.6.0 or later), we strongly encourage all Exponent installations be upgraded to v2.7.1 as soon as practical!

Version 2.7.0 or 'Belated Benefits' is finally available! We/ve added support for PHP v8.0 and initial support for PHP v8.1 and Twitter Bootstrap v5 (now integrated). We also fixed quite a number of issues with MySQL v8.0, especially v8.0.19+, and many other things have been tweaked or fixed. If your server PHP version supports it (v5.6.0 or later), we strongly encourage all Exponent installations be upgraded to v2.7.0 as soon as practical!

Along with the integration of Twitter Bootstrap v5 as a theme framework, we've updated the standard icon set to Font Awesome v6 over Font Awesome v5. We also offer the option of using Twitter Bootstrap Icons which provide a cleaner, thinner icon set.
