PHP 8.5.0beta1 has just been released and may be downloaded from https://downloads.php.net/~edorian/
Or use the git tag: php-8.5.0beta1 Windows binaries are available at: https://windows.php.net/qa/ Please test it carefully, and report any bugs at https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/new?template=bug_report.yml on GitHub. Please note that due to a packaging mistake, when compiling without running ./buildconf, the PHP version will falsely show as 8.5.0-dev instead of -beta1. I apologize for the mistake and this process will be improved. In addition, an issue with the pipes' RFC was found that will cause a change in behavior between beta1 and the upcoming beta2. A more detailed explanation will be posted to internals@ soon. 8.5.0beta2 should be expected in 2 weeks, i.e. on 28 Aug 2025. Hash values and PGP signatures can be found below or at https://gist.github.com/edorian/f2d2f755b7082bd5cc2fa72a7e91f74e Thank you, and happy testing!
