SO. MUCH. HYPE. For this.
I know some of you are like "How hard is it to run svn2git?" It's not. It's everything else involved in the complex organism that is php-doc that made this a Herculean task.
Huh... Anyone know what's up with sunshinephp.com ?
I'm not really expecting a conference this year because the plague is still raging, but I went looking for something from last year's site and nothing seems to be up at all anymore.
Well.... this will give me something to read in the morning.... https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/k514jf/how_awful_are_userspace_filters_in_php/
And thus the floodgates open. Chinese and Spanish added since that previous toot, and three more pull requests for Italian, Turkish, and Dutch.
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
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.
We had a great panel of people last night at azPHP! All about PHP8!

For those asking about the apron, it reads:
"""
I only tell bad chemistry jokes because all the good ones...
"""
Followed by an entry from the periodic table showing the chemical symbol 'Ar' and its various properties.
Countdown to PHP 8.0.0
