All good things come to an end.
Concera was an early adopter of PHP7 within its CoCoS API platform, whereas Aino was still developed in PHP5 at the time. When Aino’s end-of-life status was announced in 2016 (see announcement https://concera.software/Concera-aino-einde-ontwikkeling/nieuws_12.html), we did not anticipate the need for a major version release compatible with PHP7.However, we do not want to leave our existing customers facing a difficult situation. Customer continuity is important to us, and for that reason, we have decided to release a new version of Aino after all.
Aino version 4 is PHP7 compatible. Please note that it is not backward compatible with PHP versions lower than 7.
Is the Update Free?
If your Aino SLA includes automatic major version upgrades, Aino 4 will be installed free of charge. If your SLA does not cover this, you will receive a quotation. Aino 4 no longer requires any license fees. Only the necessary labor related to reinstallation, database migration, and manual data conversion will be invoiced.Depending on the complexity of your website, this process may take approximately a minimum of 4 working days.
Hosting Changes
As of version 4, Aino-specific hosting will be discontinued. Your hosting will be converted into a standard hosting account based on your actual usage. To maintain the same service level, a Pro or Pro Plus account will be selected by default.
