Weekly update – 10 October 2025 – New ProCache version

[ryan]

Today there’s a new version of ProCache (4.0.7) available for download in the ProCache support/upgrades board. Here’s what’s new in this version of ProCache:

• ProCache has been updated throughout for PHP 8.4 support.
• Upgraded the SCSS compiler to the latest Leafo SCSSPHP 2.0.1. This version requires PHP 8.2, so ProCache also lets you choose from two older versions if you prefer.
• Upgraded the LESS compiler to the latest Wikimedia LESS 5.4.1. Past versions can also be selected, including Wikimedia 3.0.0 and Leafo LESS 0.5.0.
• Upgraded the CSS/JS minifier to the latest available version (1.3.75 latest). Because we had customized the CSS/JS minification quite a bit, the older version (1.0 stable) also remains selectable, just in case there’s anything the older version handles that the new one doesn’t yet.
• LESS, SCSS and Minifier versions can be selected and changed in the ProCache configuration: Setup > ProCache > JS/CSS. Likewise the ProcessProCache module has a new JS/CSS tab for configuring the settings mentioned above.
• ProCache now logs LESS/SCSS and Minify status and errors to the JS console (when in debug mode or for a logged-in superuser).
• ProCache now has a proper API reference page available here: https://processwire.com/api/ref/pro-cache/

Because this is a brand new version with several upgraded libraries, it should be considered beta until it's been out a couple of weeks. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

@ryan nice to see an update to this.

Less is 5.4.0, so the link on ProCache is broken: https://github.com/wikimedia/less.php/tree/v5.4.1 and the setting wont point to the correct folder.

I remember a while back someone posted an nginx config file they got to work with ProCache. I CANNOT find this post and if anyone has a better memory or search skills than me, I would be very greatful for a link.

I've got another project coming up where we'll be building our first public facing website with PW so I'd like to get going on this. Thanks in advance!

Maybe one of these?
