Hi WHMCS ecosystem developers! I am excited to share an early heads-up about the upcoming WHMCS 9.0 release by the end of 2025 - a major update that brings important changes to the platform’s technical requirements. As part of this release, several core dependencies will be updated, and minimum system requirements will be increased. These changes are designed to improve performance, security, and compatibility with modern PHP standards. Key Updates in WHMCS 9.0: Minimum PHP version: 8.2 Recommended PHP version: 8.3 Minimum ionCube Loader version: 13.0.2 or higher Recommended ionCube Loader version: 14.4.0 or higher Updated dependencies: A number of underlying libraries and components have been upgraded. Some notable changes include: Smarty v3.1.48 —> v4.3.4 Legacy Smarty Tags are being deprecated and will no longer function in 9.0. Smarty Template Objects (including their use in plugins) will no longer be supported. guzzlehttp v7.4 —> v7.4.5 illuminate v7.x —> v9.0 I have attached a provisional list of dependency changes to this post. Please also use this thread to provide your feedback and ask questions of the Development Team regarding these requirement and dependency changes. These changes will require action from module developers to ensure continued compatibility. We recommend reviewing your module code and preparing for updates ahead of the release. We’ll be sharing more details, including a release window, definitive changelog and developer guidance, between now and the end of 2025 to help you get ready. Thank you for being a valued part of the WHMCS ecosystem. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to working together to make WHMCS 9.0 a successful release. whmcsv90_composerlock_provisional.txt

Hi guys, I have the following case, I'm applying the invoicepdffooter.tpl and quotepdffooter.tpl, the content is shown on both Invoice and Quote generated PDF, but in case the PDF contain multiple lines (services) then the footer is over the invoice/quote services, like in the screenshot below. Is there any chance I could have a restriction in place for the invoicepdf.tpl and quotepdf.tpl as soon as it reaches the footer area to create a second page? thanks, Alex

We won't go cloud. Kayako burned us with that and SupportPal is brilliant. Where's the announcement?

Yes, this sounds correct.

@WHMCS John Thank you for your response. "valid syntax" was the key point on this, as it was not clear on documentation.
