Trying to update shortcode 7.x-2.22 to 7.x-2.25 on a live site, update successful but then the site gives WSOD.
(As it's a live site I couldn't get error log but had to roll back immediately).

How old your PHP? (My tip is, it's outdated).

I had the same issue on a website on PHP 5.3.29: 

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '[' in .../sites/all/modules/shortcode/shortcode.module on line 90

Time to move to a newer PHP version, I guess.

I'm also experiencing this problem (running 7.22, upgrading to 7.25 gives WSOD)

I'm running PHP 5.3.3

Is there a required version of PHP for this module?

The PHP site says: As of PHP 5.4 you can also use the short array syntax, which replaces array() with [].
(http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php)

Today the supported PHP version is 5.6 or newer. http://php.net/supported-versions.php

It's not a big issue, I will change back the old array syntax, but I think, not the best practice to use long time outdated software. It's your responsibility to refresh your PHP.

Just rolled out the 7.x-2.26 release. Please check this version in your server with your (old) PHP.

I just updated the 7.x-2.22 version to 7.x-2.26 and get an WSOD too. I'm running PHP 5.6.33.

@jds23 Can you give me more information about this WSOD? PHP log, what ShortCode did you use, etc.

@Denes.Szabo Okay it's not a WSOD, it's a HTTP Error 500.

This is what the webspace backend says:

I installed the Hcode Theme from Nikadevs. The real error seems to be located in their module I guess.

jds23: seems Nikadevs theme developer knows nothing about input formats and how should use the APIs. :(

I know about nothing Nikadevs cms - it's developer should support newer versions of the ShortCode module, if he used it.
We usually regards functions with _ start as private functions. We do not call these functions directly.
