PHP 8.4.4RC2 has just been released and may be downloaded from https://downloads.php.net/~calvinb/ Or use the git tag: php-8.4.2RC2 The reason why this is RC2 is because we caught a regression after tagging RC1. This includes the fix for that (from GH-17628) as well as a zlib-ng test regression fix. (Thanks to Niels and Remi for these fixes.) It's otherwise identical to RC1. Windows builds and friends may not yet be available due to the short notice; these should be coming soon. Windows binaries are available at: https://windows.php.net/qa/ Please test it carefully, and report any bugs at https://github.com/php/php-src/issues 8.4.4 should be expected in 2 weeks, i.e. on the 13th. Hash values and PGP signatures can be found below or at https://gist.github.com/NattyNarwhal/fd174c123455fd95d3ba5c4ae825fab0 Thank you, and happy testing!
