Remi Collet has released release candidate packages for PHP 8.4.20RC1 and 8.5.5RC1 for Fedora and RHEL based distributions, available in testing repositories for safe parallel installation. Administrators can use yum or dnf commands to enable the remi-test repository and test compatibility without disrupting existing systems. It is crucial to test these versions before the final release to prevent potential issues that could arise from bugs during peak traffic. Once testing confirms stability, users can smoothly transition to the new version using dnf module commands, with packages available for both x86_64 and aarch64 architectures

Remi Collet has released release candidate packages for PHP 8.4.20RC1 and 8.5.5RC1 suitable for Fedora and RHEL based distributions. These versions are available in testing repositories as both base packages and Software Collections to allow safe parallel installation without disrupting existing systems. Administrators can use yum or dnf commands to enable the remi-test repository and switch module versions once they verify compatibility during testing. Note that PHP version 8.3 has now entered security mode only so no further release candidates will be produced for that branch.
