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 not
require 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
