Hi internals, Any *RFCs* that are trying to target PHP 8.5 need to have completed voting by August 12, 2 weeks from tomorrow. This lets us finalize the list of the biggest features that need to be merged. For smaller features *that do notrequire an RFC*, they can still be proposed and implemented during the beta period. PHP 8.5 will be branched on September 23, before which all features need to have been merged if they are to be included in PHP 8.5. You can see a timeline at https://wiki.php.net/todo/php85. Your 8.5 RMs,Volker, Daniel and Pierrick

Hi everyone, I've been made aware of a mistake I've made in the title of the post that said 3 weeks when it should have said 2 weeks, as stated in the body of the mail. Sorry for that. Kind regards, Volker On Mon, Jul 28, 2025 at 7:34 PM Volker Dusch <edorian@php.net> wrote:
