PHsPeed version 3.5 Release notes

Version 3.5 is currently in the alpha test phase. The following list is the situation as of the 20th of June 2024. Release is expected at the end of August, after the holiday period. We want to avoid issues on support during holiday season.

Deprecated

Due to changes in the web browser policies, importing executable files from 3rd parties will become restrictions. This will have implications for web-based stored files that are included in the source code, like javascript. In PHsPeed you could choose to use the locally stored files or use the remotely stored files. By default, locally stored files are used; it always has the advantage of higher speeds. As of version 3.5 the option to import from 3rd parties will be deprecated. There are all kinds of configurations possible, but deploying your applications with all the libs locally will always be the easiest way of doing so.
Because the size of the complete libraries is large (the optimizer will delete what's not in use, but still), the preferred way is to use shared libraries. This means that you only need to upload the runtime once, and then all your projects will use this lib. Shared libraries are the standard way, and as far as we know, most users use them. For users that still use private libs, please migrate, as we expect this feature to become deprecated in PHsPeed version 4.
