Jens Geyer updated THRIFT-6334:
-------------------------------
Description:
PHP 8.1 reached end of life on 2025-12-31. 8.2 still receives upstream security
support until 2026-12-31, so it becomes the supported floor for 0.26.0. It
stays the floor until 2027: once it has reached its end of life, the policy
below makes 8.3 the next floor.
This change:
* raises the {{composer.json}} requirement to {{^8.2}} and the
{{lib/php/README.md}} minimum to 8.2;
* narrows the PHP CI matrix from {{\[8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5]}} to {{\[8.2,
8.3, 8.4, 8.5]}} and moves the static-analysis job to 8.2;
* moves the {{ubuntu-jammy}} and {{ubuntu-focal}} build images to PHP 8.2 (both
via {{ppa:ondrej/php}});
* updates the PHP row in {{LANGUAGES.md}}.
It also records a *version support policy* in {{LANGUAGES.md}}: Thrift targets
the language/runtime versions still receiving upstream support (active or
security) at release time; older, end-of-life versions are kept only while the
cost is manageable, and dropped when that is no longer practical -- for example
when an end-of-life version carries defects that affect Thrift and that its
upstream will no longer fix, as PHP 8.1 does. This makes future minimum-version
changes follow a stated rule rather than a per-release debate.
Note: this raises the minimum PHP version, so it is a breaking change for users
still on PHP 8.1.
