IMPORTANT NOTICE: BREAKING CHANGES AHEAD
First and foremost, Version 7 is NOT compatible with php 8.3. The minimum required version is now php 8.4. If you are using the release build (with nginx/apache + PHP), please make sure to update your environment accordingly.
Version 7 docker image is now powered by FrankenPHP with Laravel Octane instead of the traditional nginx + PHP-FPM stack. Upgrading will require you to update your docker-compose setup.
Check the upgrade documentation for more information: https://lycheeorg.dev/docs/upgrade.html
