The PHP-8.1 branch is open for bug fixes UNTIL 25 November. I’m very
sorry for the confusion.



Does this mean any bug-fix merged into 8.2 already needs to be backported?
Or will 8.1 RMs do this?



Since this was my mistake, I will help resolve this. Let me know what bug fixes 
would have otherwise gone into the PHP-8.1 branch, and I’ll take care of 
merging them.



I cherry-picked all the bug fixes from PHP-8.2 that folks didn't commit 
into PHP-8.1 (because of my earlier misunderstanding).


You can see all of these commits here:

https://github.com/php/php-src/commits/PHP-8.1?since=2023-11-22=2023-11-23

The only two commits that did not appear relevant to PHP-8.1 were:

- 
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/5a77870492e8e293a3d12b0e94d91b890ed78197
- 
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/4d41dffb4f355872476bae561264c4796eef26b8


So, I did not cherry-pick these two commits into PHP-8.1.

Please let me know if any of this looks incorrect, and I'll fix it.

Cheers,
Ben

Gina,

Since this was my mistake, I will help resolve this. Let me know what bug fixes 
would have otherwise gone into the PHP-8.1 branch, and I’ll take care of 
merging them.

[PHP-DEV] PHP-8.1 open for bug fixes UNTIL 25 Nov

Hi, all!

According to the supported versions page[^1] (and our release process 
documentation), active support for PHP-8.1 ends on 25 Nov 2023. Since our 
release cycle has a release falling on 23 Nov, this means PHP 8.1.26 is the 
last bug-fix release for the 8.1 series. Following PHP 8.1.26, PHP 8.1 will be 
in security maintenance mode.

I know there was some confusion around this, and I apologize that we didn’t 
make this clear earlier (though the dates have been posted for a while ;-) ).

PHP 8.1.26RC1 was technically the last chance to get in bug fixes and have them 
tested prior to the release on 23 Nov.

Unfortunately, we’ve had a few bug fixes merged into the PHP-8.1 branch since 
yesterday, and I’ll work with Patrick and others on figuring out what to do 
with these.

Cheers,
Ben
