Franz As Toby pointed out, this was intended behavior, but he was very open for changing it.

I vote to change this 😆
it makes it more predictable for users to have this information always on the system.

      I am not the one doing dev work on our flarum install 😅
      but i will ask our dev if he can put that on his list.

        Hi, there are files ready, for installation of Flarum via FTP on own webspace?

        Default files and then files to add/edit only with each upgrade.

          debynory Flarum installs via a tool called Composer, which we use to help alleviate the need to maintain a separate installation script for Flarum. We're aware that many people are interested in a solution to use via FTP, but that won't be addressed by the team before stable.

          You can always find the latest installation instructions on our docs, and we're willing to help you if you get stuck (open a new discussion in our Support tag). Just make sure your host fulfills the minimum requirements for Flarum.

              TOWUK if you want to install multiple packages at once, it will be a lot quicker to pass them as multiple arguments to a single Composer call like composer require vendor1/package1 vendor2/package2

                  It's weird to me that Amazon SES support was silently removed.
                  Emails stopped working and I didn't even know about it.

                  There also does not appear to be an extension currently to add support back in.
                  I don't understand how a core feature can be removed without a clear migration path. I know it's in beta but i think that should have been addressed in a better way.

                    Sorry about that, it seems that we overlooked it in the release logs / upgrade guides. We'll be more diligent about making these things clearer in the future. One thing I'll note is that beta 13 introduced a Mail Driver extender particularly for this reason (flarum/core2012), so adding an SES extension should be fairly trivial.

                        askvortsov Before you run the upgrade, make sure to create a backup of your public/assets directory, your composer.json and your database!

                        You should use darker color here.

                          How do I know if I have Composer v1 or v2? If I have v1, should I upgrade?

                            ScottBeeson no need to upgrade. 2 is still in alpha. Check your version with

                            composer -V
