Mantis BT 2.0 (2.1.0) requirements

Post by Mario Balanica »

Hi! I saw on this page http://mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=21841&nbn=11 that MySQL 5.5.35 is required to support UTF8MB4. I have MySQL 5.5.51 version, but when I installed Mantis BT 2.1 it created tables with utf8_general_ci collation. Why?

I installed MantisBT on another hosting and collation still remains the same.
Did you removed UTF8MB4 support?

Not removed, it has never been implemented but is targeted for future version, see http://mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=20431

And if i want to upgrade, the installation will edit the collation by itself, or i should do that from phpMyAdmin?

This question can't be answered before there is a final implementation.

Ok, but the next version will remain compatible with version 2.1.0, no?

Depends on what you mean with "compatible".
There might be database schema changes if needed, but there will not be any bump up for minimum requirements for PHP, DBMS or Web server.
There will also be no removal of existing functions or any changes that break plugins.
