-# efiction v3.5.8 fixes
+# eFiction 3 Mod
 
-- rating display fix
+This version is essentially a version of 'future 3.5.9' wiith some of my internal modifications. For now, there are no auto paths to patch old eFiction versions to this version, so it has to be done manually. (The update.php file needs to be cleaned up, and the 3.5.5 update does not work properly in PHP 7 anyway.)
 
 
-# efiction v3.5.8
+## Requirements
 
-- added notification module
-- changed files: user/editbio.php and user/lostpassword.php 
-- chanded way for loading DB functions - moved from config file! 
-- fixed bug in install.php - script worked but in PHP 8.x it caused warnings
-- new ranking system - number of likes, used as {ratingpics} likes in tpl.
+- Minimum: PHP 7.4, MySQL 5.6.3 or MariaDB 10.5
+- Recommnended: PHP 8.4, MySQL 7.0 or MariaDB 11.4
+- Tested Working: PHP: 7.4.33, 8.5.8; MariaDB: 10.6, 10.11, 11.4
