Frequently Asked Question
Can my committee / fraternity use deprecated software?
Last Updated 3 years ago
No. To make sure software is safe to run, we will stop supporting deprecated software. We (and IMS) also don't want you to run deprecated and possibly insecure software on GEWIS servers. Starting April 1 2022 the CBC will actively check if applications use software no longer supported by the creator and disable the applications that do run this unsupported software.
An example of deprecated software would be all applications running a version of PHP 7.3 or lower, as security support of PHP 7.3 expires coming December. This policy change is most applicable to organs that run software on the container hosting platform, but may also apply if you use deprecated platforms on the webhost.
