Remi Collet has released PHP versions 8.4.20 and 8.5.5 for Fedora and RHEL-based systems without any security fixes this month, allowing administrators to plan upgrades without urgency. Users can install the new packages by switching system defaults or running parallel builds using the Software Collections method, ensuring production stability during testing. It is crucial for users to verify application compatibility before replacing the standard library, as legacy applications may depend on older versions. The updates are available in the remi-modular repository for Fedora 42 and Enterprise Linux 8 or higher, facilitating easier management for server administrators
