Support for PHP 5.6 through PHP 7.4 – e107 v2 now adds PHP 7.4 support while maintaining support for PHP 5.6. Note that PHP 8.0 support is not yet available but will be added in a future release (after #4269).
Support for MySQL 8.0 (#4216) – Database integrity checks no longer persist their warnings on MySQL 8.0. MySQL 5.5 through MySQL 5.7 and MariaDB 10.0 through MariaDB 10.5 remain supported.
New session handler with improved performance (#4113) – Non-blocking session handler backed by the database allows multiple concurrent requests to the e107 site per user session. A site administrator can enable this session handler at Settings » Preferences » Advanced Options » Security & Protection » Session Save Method and setting the value to "Database". New installations will use the database session handler by default.
More social login providers (#3492) – The full list of supported social login providers can be found here.
