I found these entries in apache log error file. Using vm3.2.1 and php7

mcrypt issues are already fixed in the latest file set -  VM3.2.4 under ?final testing.

Sorry I can't find the VM3.2.4

In SVN - revision 9602 from 3 days ago. http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/repository  - not for live sites yet.

Thanks Kelvyn. I appologise for my ignorance, but is the mentioned revision 9602 a revision of VM3.2.3.9587 and - for ease of communication - is referred to as VM3.2.4 ?
If I understand the working of SVN correctly, the deprecated function is still present in vmcrypt.php revision 9602.

Just downloaded VM3.2.4 and tested with Joomla! 3.7.5 / PHP 7.1.10.
The issue concerning deprecated functions mcrypt_get_iv_size() and mcrypt_create_iv() in file \administrator\components\com_virtuemart\helpers\vmcrypt.php on line 31, 32, 34, 50 and 61 has NOT been addressed.
NOTE: You must first set the global Joomla! error reporting to 'maximum', or 'development'

EDIT: Kelvyn, when looking for another warning that is thrown, I hit upon your recent reply https://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=138450.msg485610#msg485610
I guess it's a matter of priorities on the VM developers' side whether or not to resolve a warning.

I have 3.2.12 installed, J3.8.3 and php 7.1.

I have still have a long list of warning on the deprecated functions mcrypt_get_iv_size() and mcrypt_create_iv().
Should I go back to php 7.0?
