Improvement

Across all installations of WHMCS, we've upgraded PHP from v8.1 latest to v8.2 latest, in preparation for the major upgrade this year to WHMCS v9.

This has gone successfully, and involved a bit of tinkering to get a few things happy. We upgraded Dev, then my.Merlot before finally our client installations.

We've upgraded our hypervisors to the latest version, which comes with a newer platform and kernel underneath. It delivers major improvements.

Patching is critical in our business. Many avoid it, while we're advocates for it!
