Is it safe to update Grocy?
Tracking grocy/grocy
Holds breaking changes.
The release notes explicitly flag (with a ⚠️ warning) that PHP 8.5 with SQLite 3.40+ is now the only supported runtime, making this a hard infrastructure prerequisite. Self-hosters running any earlier PHP version must upgrade their runtime before updating Grocy, constituting a required manual upgrade step. All other changes in the release are additive features or bug fixes with no additional migration notes.
What changed
v4.6.0 raises the minimum runtime to PHP 8.5 with SQLite 3.40+, dropping support for all earlier PHP versions. On the stock side, quantity-unit handling is significantly improved — units can now be freely changed before a product ever enters stock, and missing 1:1 conversions are auto-created, which streamlines barcode-lookup plugin workflows. A handful of long-standing bugs are fixed across stock, shopping lists, chores, userfields, and the date-shorthand input parser. FreeBSD users on SQLite 3.41+ also receive a targeted SQL workaround.
