www.php.netPHP: PHP 8.4.0 Release AnnouncementPHP 8.4 is a major update of the PHP language. It contains many new features, such as property hooks, asymmetric visibility, an updated DOM API, performance improvements, bug fixes, and general cleanup.

@nick @php This was mentioned in the announcement emails - 8.4.0 didn't include some important but late-breaking security fixes. We don't retag (tags on releases are immutable) so we skipped to 8.4.1 instead.

Thanks for the info.

I tried to find information on php.net - #PHP 8.4 information and change log.

But i wasn't aware of announcement e-mails.

@php@fosstodon.org

@nick @php No worries. They're easy to miss: externals.io/message/126019

The relevant part: "8.4.0 does not contain security fixes and I skipped it. Therefore, 8.4.1 is the first version of PHP 8.4."

@php Thanks to everyone who was involved in making #php 8.4 possible. Now that the chain got rattled, everyone, who is part of that chain, is going to do their work to make php 8.4 usable in all those different php environments that are out there.

@php Cool, some c# features....
And deprecations BCBs doesn't look too overwhelming this time
