🧹 Kirby 5.3.3
We have a small patch release for you: https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/releases/tag/5.3.3 This release is completely optional if you don't suffer from the mentioned issues, but those who do will probably appreciate it 🙂
🧹 Hub Login
We've refactored our License hub login. We've not been very happy with our email + order id solution for a while now and switched to a more convenient solution. You can now login with your email address and the Hub will send you a simple login code. You and us will finally no longer need to look up order ids 🎉 https://hub.getkirby.com/
🧹 Upgrade prices for Kirby 4+
We've been asked a couple of times for our planned upgrade prices for Kirby 4+ after three years. We've added the prices to our FAQs a while ago, but wanted to announce them more officially over here as well: Upgrades for three more years are currently €59 (excl. VAT) for Kirby Basic and €249 (excl. VAT) for Kirby Enterprise.
🧹 Upgrades for old Kirby 1,2,3 licenses
We are going to discontinue our upgrade slider and gratitude upgrades for old, inactive 1, 2 and 3 licenses. You can still make use of both until July 31st 2026. Afterwards, we will switch to our recommended upgrade prices for all inactive Kirby 1, 2 and 3 licenses. We wanted to give you plenty of time before we make this change. Of course, once you've upgraded a license you don't have to use it right away. It can stay inactive afterwards.
🧹 EULA updates
A while ago, we've added a clause that Kirby will be converted to open source (MIT) if we should ever fail to continue as a company (going bankrupt, dying, etc. - the usual happy stuff). We have no plans of letting that happen, but you never know.
We've now clarified that this takes place as soon as Kirby no longer receives stable releases from us for more than a year.
