Four PHP versions have just been released 7.2.34, 7.3.23, 7.4.11 and 8.0.0RC1. Notice that 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 are security releases so all users of these releases are encouraged to upgrade. The final release of 8.0 is expected for around November 2020, so you are encouraged to download and test the first RC1 and report to the QA team. Changes in the 8.0 RC1 include :

  • CLI : Allow debug server binding to an ephemeral port via `-S localhost:0`. (Sara)
  • Core : Fixed bug #80109 (Cannot skip arguments when extended debug is enabled). (Nikita)
  • ODBC : Fixed bug #22986 (odbc_connect() may reuse persistent connection). (cmb)
  • PDO_Firebird : Fixed bug #64937 (Firebird PDO preprocessing sql). (Simonov Denis)
  • SPL : SplFixedArray is now IteratorAggregate rather than Iterator. (alexdowad)
  • Zlib : Fixed bug #78792 (zlib.output_compression disabled by Content-Type: image/).
