Update Notices

Requirements Change - PHP 7.3 or greater is now required to run BookStack. If you previously installed BookStack using the 18.04 script, please see the details of this release in our update notes for the commands that should help you upgrade to PHP 8.

URL/Search-Filter Change - User profile pages, and user-based search filters, now use name-based "slugs" rather than being ID based. Any old links or instructions you may have for these elements may need to be updated.
