Shipping PHP 8.5

Abstract

Join Volker for a Release Manager’s view on how a new PHP version comes together. We will discuss the features in PHP 8.5 and how releasing and contributing to a PHP version works in general.

We will talk about how numerous individuals and the PHP Foundation shape a new PHP version, how features get into PHP, how to navigate that process, and understand how decisions are made. Both for understanding the language evolution and to potentially contribute to the core language.
