Our good old TB 1.4.0 is now running on PHP 8.4, thanks to the patches from PS The Web Solution! It runs like a rocket, and after all our testing, there are no errors, warnings, or deprecation notices in the logs! Thanks guys, outstanding work!

Nevertheless, it is VITAL to update to the latest version - it has MANY security patches that are not included in your store.

Getting a 1.4.0 install clean on PHP 8.4 with no notices in the logs is a real accomplishment, so credit to the patch authors. The point about updating anyway is the one I'd underline: backporting compatibility fixes keeps an old codebase running but doesn't carry the security patches that shipped since. For anyone maintaining a legacy storefront, the practical path is usually to keep the patched install as a stopgap while planning the full upgrade, rather than treating it as the destination.
