As this version should be the last 8.x (before 9.0), it should be in Fedora 42, 43 and 44. * A testing SCL and a testing module are available in my [https://blog.remirepo.net/post/2024/07/05/PHP-8.4-as-Software-Collection repository] * List of [https://github.com/remicollet/remirepo/issues/258 extensions compatibility list] * [https://wiki.php.net/todo/php84 Upstream schedule for 8.4] Version 8.4.0 GA is planned for November 21st. == Benefit to Fedora == Provides the latest PHP version to developers and system administrators. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Check Koschei status.
