We dropped compatibility code for older PHP and MySQL versions. R5.x and later requires at least PHP 5.2 and MySQL 5. To use with older PHP or MySQL versions, use the older (but still maintained) branch of 4.3.x releases, which you can find on the download page[link7].

1.6. Known Issues

All known issues are tracked in our Bug Tracker.[link8]
  1. To use Captcha, you must ensure that the session settings in freecap.php do not differ from the default values or your config settings, else Captcha can't pass its values to the session. In the following link you find a workaround:
  2. toc action does not recognize include page structure[link10]
  3. broken POST & reset of Session in menu section via user settings which requires you to logout and login to refresh the changed bookmarks / menu
    • HOTFIX: add the {{menu}} action into a seperate page and edit the menu items / bookmarks there
  4. Not compatible with PHP 5.4! - see bugs:422[link11]
