  21 - **PHP Version Requirement Change** - The minimum supported PHP version has changed from PHP 8.0.2 to PHP 8.1 in this release. Please see our ["Updating PHP & Composer" documentation page](/docs/admin/updating-php/#updating-php) for guidance on updating PHP.
  22 - **Sorting** - Basic sort order changes for chapters and pages will no longer affect the "updated" time for these items. Wider changes during sorting (moving to a new parent) will still increment the "updated" time.

  32 ### Search Indexing Improvements
  33
  34 The way BookStack indexes content for search now follows more advanced logic
  35 for this release to address some common limitation faced.
  36 Specifically, single terms containing certain punctuation like `.` periods
  37 would have previously been split, leaving any searches for terms like "24.5"
  38 falling back to slower exact matches.
  39
  40 As of v25.02, BookStack will now index the non-split term in addition to the split term,
  41 allowing both to match with indexed and scored results.
  42 In additions to `.` periods, this is also done for `-` hyphens which we previously did not
  43 consider before.
  44
  45 Lastly, «giullemets» are now considered as punctuation in the same manner as other brackets.
  46
  47 Note that to receive this improvements for existing content, you'll need to
  48 [regenerate the search index](/docs/admin/commands/#regenerate-the-search-index) after upgrading.
