Mysql 8 is already the stable version and has been for a while. I for development use it on windows and its v8 -----Original Message----- From: Ruprecht Helms <rhelms@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: 08 September 2021 16:02 To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: MySQLnd support for ed25519 Hi Dimi, I think mysql 8 is the new version of mysql. I don't know if there a exists a stable release or only a beta. My thoughts are that the last php-version maybe can handle the mentioned authentication method or you have to try to compile the handling for the mysql-plugin in the php-mysqldriver. Maybe the question about enhancing the php is relation on the Linuxdistribution. Here I mean an additional rpm if you use Redhat, Fedora, Centos, Suse... or .deb if you use Debian, Ubuntu or such of these. To mix a tarball with one of these packages I think it is to difficult in this case.
