• Removal of outdated PHP versions 7.2 & 7.3 from Beach

    PHP 7.2 and 7.3 have served us well over the past years. But now it's time to move on–to PHP 8.

    tldr; We love transparency, so I'm going to give you some insights into how our prices come to be. However, if you're only interested in the actual changes and not the background information, you can skip to "what we changed" further below.
