PHP 8.1 has now reached the end of its lifespan at the end of the year
and there has been no information over the years regarding subsequent versions 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, and the latest 8.5.
This is quite serious, given the lack of information for the community and for those who must decide whether to maintain a software no longer protected from potential security bugs, etc.
Why are the owners so slow?
SourceGuardian and IonCube have been officially supporting v8.4 for some time, and will soon be supporting 8.5, for which IonCube already has beta loaders.
It’s been a while since the release of 8.1. Is it possible that these changes aren’t being taken into due consideration or at least that there’s decent public information about them?
Clarifications on this matter and any ETAs would be professional and desirable, hoping that we don’t have to wait years and years until PHP’s support expires.
Best regards
