Hey Core Devs,
I want to report on this Phar error - my servers all give this error on upgrading to 1.3.1 and Phar is enabled on them.
We have success every time by manually updated the update package - not one failure. This condition exists in PHP 7.3, 7.4 and 8.0 when trying to use network install.
I can now report that there are a many others that have the same issue - I get support tickets from our extension users frequently saying "I can't upgrade" and they are running servers in multiple hosting around the global. We give them the update package and the instructions and it works.
This is the first upgrade that has had this issue- so I would like to posit that it is something within the network install that is problematic to multiple servers on multiple hosts. And hopefully it does not show up in the 1.3.2 that you are working on now.
Regards,
Lee with WHY2 support team
