Remi Collet has announced the availability of PHP packages 8.3.22 and 8.4.8 for Fedora and RHEL-based Linux distributions. These updates address a range of issues across several components, including array_splice, nested object comparisons, and numerous extensions such as curl, date_sun_info, and OpenSSL.
These packages can be found in the remi-modular repository for Fedora (version 40 and above) and Enterprise Linux (version 8 and above, including RHEL, Alma, CentOS, and Rocky). Both versions are compatible with x86_64 and aarch64 architectures. Notably, there are no security updates this month for PHP versions 8.1.32 and 8.2.28, and PHP version 8.0 has officially reached its end of life and will no longer receive updates.
The PHP 8.4.8 and 8.3.22 versions are also available as Software Collections in the remi-safe repository. Users can easily install these versions via the Configuration Wizard or through command-line instructions. For instance, to switch to PHP 8.4, one can use the command `dnf module switch-to php:remi-8.4/common`, or to install it in parallel, the command `yum install php84` can be used. Similarly, the commands for PHP 8.3 follow the same pattern.
Moreover, the latest updates are reflected in Fedora Rawhide, with PHP version 8.4.8 already available, and PHP 8.3.22 present in Fedora 41. It's worth noting that the EL-10 RPMs are built with RHEL-10.0, while EL-9 and EL-8 RPMs are built with RHEL-9.5 and RHEL-8.10, respectively. Key updates include the intl extension adopting libicu74 and the mbstring extension now utilizing oniguruma5php. Additionally, the oci8 extension has been updated to use Oracle Instant Client version 23.7.
For those migrating from earlier PHP versions, resources are available to assist with the transition from PHP 8.2.x to 8.3.x and 8.3.x to 8.4.x.
In conclusion, the releases of PHP 8.3.22 and 8.4.8 signify important updates for developers using Fedora and RHEL-based systems, addressing critical components and ensuring continued support for newer libraries and extensions. Users are encouraged to upgrade to take advantage of these improvements and maintain compatibility with modern applications
