I see in the release notes of the latest version I notice there have been improvements to PHP 7.4 compatability, however there has been no documentation update that I can find to give us specifics?
All I can find is this: https://docs.cs-cart.com/4.11.x/install/system_requirements.html and it doesn't mention PHP 7.4.
Can someone confirm or otherwise the latest CS-Carts PHP compatibility?

Currently its not compatible, there are however indications that it will be in 4.12;
in the install guide docs for CS-Cart System Requitrements I see that the following PHP commands should be enabled: system exec shell_exec passthru
These are by default disabled on cpanel servers running PHP 7.3 (ea-php73) PHP-FPM
disable_functions exec,passthru,shell_exec,system
as these open up serious security holes, how critical are they to run CS Cart 4.11.5?
do we really need to essentially hack the default config of cpanel and open up our server to vulnerabilities to run this?
see here for the reasons why they are explicitly blocked

see here for how to enable them

Any news on this is Cs cart 7.4 PHP ?
I just tried to upgrade in my server to this latest version , but i get a message that one of my app is not currently up for it , and by the look of it,the issue can only obviously be cs cart .
wordpress is up to date, my host is up to date too
Thanks
Per the doc:
The support of PHP 7.4 was added in CS-Cart/Multi-Vendor 4.12.1 and higher.
We've had zero issues on PHP 7.4 with versions greater than 4.6.x (circa 2018)
