PHP 8 support

[WyriHaximus]

Aside from #264, is there anything else that is blocking a PHP 8 compatible release?

P.S. This is a tracking issue for a release that supports PHP 8.

I think BR (which this depends on) already supports PHP 8, but yeah the named params BC break is a big one that will need to go in. Sorry kinda dropped the ball there :/ (#266 is the PR I opened, it is incomplete at the moment)

BetterReflection needs major work: Roave/BetterReflection#701

clearly this is fake news

Any update on this? Thanks!

@sebastianbergmann no work happening here ATM - too much stuff to maintain, and too little time to get it done.

Roave/BetterReflection#701 is still the major issue here.

If you're pushy, you can try to just run it. Mind the installer output the configured PHP version has all the extensions, the warnings for the PHP versions I did ignore and it all worked.

Replace :dev-master or any of the composer config options in the composer related goals to control with which version you would like to run.

Display is optimized for composer 2, log has all standard error, standard output is unfiltered.
