Remi Collet has announced the release of PHP versions 8.3.24 and 8.4.11 packages for Fedora and RHEL-based Linux distributions. These packages are available in the remi-modular repository and can be installed on Fedora versions 40 and above, as well as Enterprise Linux versions 8 and above, which include distributions like RHEL, AlmaLinux, CentOS, and Rocky Linux. Both versions are compatible with x86_64 and aarch64 architectures.
Notably, there are no security updates this month, so versions 8.1.39 and 8.2.29 remain unchanged. Users can also find these versions in the remi-safe repository as Software Collections.
To install the new PHP versions, users can utilize the Configuration Wizard to select their desired version and installation mode. The simplest method for replacing the default PHP version with 8.4 is by using the command: `dnf module switch-to php:remi-8.4/common`. For parallel installation of version 8.4, the command is: `yum install php84`. Similarly, version 8.3 can be installed using `dnf module switch-to php:remi-8.3/common` for replacement or `yum install php83` for parallel installation.
Additionally, PHP version 8.4.11 is now available in Fedora Rawhide, with Fedora 42 set to receive this update and Fedora 41 receiving PHP 8.3.24.
It is important to note that the RPMs for various Enterprise Linux versions are built using specific RHEL releases (e.g., EL-10 with RHEL 10.0, EL-9 with RHEL 9.6, and EL-8 with RHEL 8.10). The intl extension has been updated to use libicu74 (version 74.2), and the mbstring extension for EL builds now uses oniguruma5php (version 6.9.10). Furthermore, the oci8 extension now incorporates the RPM of Oracle Instant Client version 23.8 for both x86_64 and aarch64 architectures.
For users looking to migrate from older PHP versions, guides are available for transitioning from PHP 8.2.x to 8.3.x and from PHP 8.3.x to 8.4.x.
In summary, PHP versions 8.3.24 and 8.4.11 have been released with several enhancements and updates that cater to various Linux distributions, facilitating smoother installation and upgrade processes for developers and system administrators
