History of Bitweaver - Web Framework

Differences from version 3 to 13

This is the front end for material on the whole bitweaver framework and will link to both central information pages and my own more local material. While bitweaver.org was not responding yesterday it is back up today which is good news. github - BitweaverCMS is the active repository for the code base, but I have now forked my own complete set of code. I am wondering if it's the right thing to have done as my own fork is something of a divergence from the code base. Bringing things into sync with my own local copy has been something of a challenge, but in fact it IS flagging up temporary changes I made while first trying to get the PHP8.4 hosting working and the time being taken to merge things will, i think, be worthwhile.

This is the front end for material on the whole bitweaver framework and will link to both central information pages and my own more local material. While bitweaver.org was not responding yesterday it is back up today which is good news and I've run a wget copy to my local machine as a backup. github - BitweaverCMS is the active repository for the code base, but I have now forked my own complete set of code.

((Webstack - PHP Version Upgrades|PHP Version Upgrades)) is a start at just what I've been doing to the code base to make it more acceptable to PHP8.4 and later. This is expanded in the PHPSurgery website which will expand on all the fine detail.
