I see on the last progress report.
[FIX] Lots of PHP 7.1, PHP 7.2, PHP 7.3 fixes. UBB.threads is now compatible with PHP 5.4 - PHP 7.3.
What does that really mean?
Is it ready to be available in the members area?
Or are there still other issues like upgrading, etc to address.

Progress reports are reports on the progress to the next version; this particular line means that we've completed testing on PHP versions 7.0-7.3.

Okay,
I guess that means status quo on a final release.
I have a customer that has let his server lapse in updates .
He is on easy Apache 3 and I need to upgrade him to easy Apache 4.
Not for ubb but for magneto and other apps.
The other new version apps will be compatible with php7.X so I wanted to have ubb on 7.x. since they are on the same domain.

Waiting anxiously.

You have two questions going on here, so I'll answer each one separately.

source.

That [FIX] could also have be a [NEW] or [UPDATE]. But the reasoning I took for using [FIX] to describe that line was; all of the fixed code that makes UBB.threads 7.7.0 work with PHP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3, was code which should have been written for UBB.threads initially when it was updated for initial PHP 5 compatibility many years ago.

Just because writing something produces the function you're attempting to accomplish, doesnt mean that its absolutely correct. No doubt there are nearly a billion ways to get something done. Not everything has to be perfect. What code was written in the past, made the program work with the versions of PHP available at that time. Thats what was needed at that time. And probably without that code written, the software would only work with prior versions of PHP, such as PHP 4.x

Now the code has been "fixed" ([FIX]) to make it work how it should have been written in the first place -- or at least enough to make it work well with how strict PHP 7.3 now requires code to be written. The [FIX] changes made it remain compatible with PHP 5.4, while being strictly correct for PHP 7.3.

Your second question is answered at the top of the thread you were reading. Both the first and the second post of that thread.
