We now ship XF 2.3 with jQuery Slim 3.7.1. This is a smaller build of jQuery that excludes animations and AJAX (because this functionality is built in to XF).


You can call it on any page where needed with the following code:
XML:
<xf:js src="vendor/jquery-slim.js" min="1" />

Note that add-ons and custom styles may be broken after upgrading to 2.3. You must test your add-ons thoroughly or look for updates. Be especially careful with add-ons that cover similar features to ones that are added to 2.3; these may conflict with the core XenForo data. If data conflicts are found, they will need to be resolved in a new add-on release or by removing the add-on before upgrading to 2.3.

The following are minimum requirements:
PHP 7.2 or newer
MySQL 5.7 and newer
All of the add-ons listed here require XenForo 2.3.
Enhanced Search requires at least Elasticsearch 7.2
Note: Some requirements here have changed. Notably, PHP 7.2 is now required, and MySQL 5.7 (or equivalent) is required. That being said, we highly recommend upgrading to PHP 8.3 or MySQL 8.0 at the earliest opportunity.​
