For Cyber Monday, we’re offering PHP 8.0 for free! Go download it today! https://www.php.net/releases/8.0/en.php
All of PHP 7.2 and earlier are now EOL! These versions will no longer receive security updates or bug fixes. It’s time to upgrade! https://php.net/eol.php
@krinkle @pollita I don’t think this is exactly what you’re looking for, but there is https://github.com/phpbench/phpbench and https://phpbench.com (two separate projects), which might help point you in the right direction.

Such is the power of Open Source that when https://www.php.net/releases/8.0/ launched in four languages (en, pt_BR, de, and ru), someone stepped up IMMEDIATELY to provide a French translation: https://www.php.net/releases/8.0/fr.php
Note that PHP 7.2 is EOL in 3 days. After that, it will no longer receive security updates from the PHP project team. Upgrade now!

I might have published the @VonageDev PHP SDK v2.7.0 today with PHP 8 support.
Who am I kidding, I totally did.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I was kinda worried that some bit of the php.net website wasn't going to cope well with the new major version number (due to some quirks in our data structures), but it carried on like a champ.
PHP is really good at running really bad code really well.... even when that bad code is the php.net website.
Very special thank you to @pollita and @carusogabriel, #php8 release managers, and to all the contributors who put in countless hours to make PHP 8 possible! 🥳🎉🎊🍾 #php8hype
Today is the day! Go get it! #php #php8 https://www.php.net/releases/8.0/en.php

If you’re on Board Game Arena, I’ve set up a PHP Community group. Feel free to join the group to find PHPers who like board games! #php #boardgames https://en.boardgamearena.com/group?id=7220436
We’ve re-opened sign-ups, but they must be approved, so be patient if you’re waiting on approval. This is how we cut down on spam accounts.
I’ve set up https://phpc.chat as a community chat resource; it’s powered by open source https://Rocket.Chat. I don’t want it to take the place of other community spaces, but you’re welcome to use it for anything related to the PHP programming language, if your project needs a home.
We recently performed a massive purge of spam accounts on this instance, and we've temporarily disabled signups. Many apologies for the inconvenience!
If you have friends or colleagues who wish to join us on phpc.social, you may generate a link to invite them at https://phpc.social/invites.
Let us know if you have any questions!

Here's the list of changes in the new #PHP 8.0 alpha
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-8.0.0alpha1/UPGRADING
Lots of deprecated functions/methods are now removed. Many existing functions behave differently
These are basically breaking changes for anyone still using any branch older than 7.2
“Version 7 is a fresh, faster new vision for PHP. Don't let old opinions, and critics' disgust for their own code written years ago sway you from giving PHP a try.” — @syntaxseed https://dev.to/syntaxseed/the-state-of-php-today-1n2j
