We are excited to announce the release of much awaited Kayako Classic version with PHP 7 support. It's supported with PHP 7.1 and above versions. PHP 7 series is known to perform over two times faster to its predecessors 5.5 and 5.6. We highly recommend taking advantage of it by upgrading to the latest Kayako Classic version 4.93.00.
We’ve listened carefully to your feedback, and thought hard about what businesses should be doing to improve our customers’ service along with a good triage practice.

- PHP 7 is 2x fast as compared to PHP 5.6
- Significant reduction in memory usage & consistent 64-bit support
- Security fixes (including XSS vulnerability)
- Allow staff users to reset their password from the login page
