PHP 8.4

Summary

Update the PHP stack in Fedora to the latest version 8.4.x

Owner

Current status

Version 8.4.0 GA is planed for November 21th.

Detailed Description

Update the PHP stack in Fedora to latest version 8.4.x.

Fedora has a 6 months cycle, PHP a 1 year cycle, our common practice for some years:

  • 2 Fedora cycles for each PHP minor release (exceptions below)
  • 3 Fedora cycles for latest minor (e.g. 5.6 or 7.4) to give more time before next major
  • 1 Fedora cycle for first major (e.g. 7.0 or 8.0)

Fedora 38 and 39 have PHP 8.2, Fedora 40 and 41 have PHP 8.3.

As this version may be the last 8.x (before 9.0), it should be in Fedora 42, 43 and 44. If the PHP project chooses to do an 8.5, it should land in 44.
