Upgrading to php 7.3.xx. This carries a slight risk because it is necessary to use a non-standard OS repository. The risk is that the upgrade may fail and necessitate reversion to the current version 7.2, in which case the site may be offline for a few minutes. Removal of the site banner will indicate that all is back to normal --Peter (talk) 17:26, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

January 2020

Upgrading to 1.33.2 and SMW 3.1.0.

7 January

The database will be locked for brief periods. The upgrades require a full database rebuild and the html cache will have to repopulate. The DB rebuild will take 2-3 days and completion will be advised here. Editing and page creation will be OK during this process but is likely to be much slower. --Peter (talk) 11:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

9 January

DB rebuild complete --Peter (talk) 06:56, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
