Or use the git tag: php-8.5.0beta1

Please test it carefully, and report any bugs at

Please note that due to a packaging mistake, when compiling without
running ./buildconf, the PHP version will falsely show as 8.5.0-dev
instead of -beta1.
I apologize for the mistake and this process will be improved.

In addition, an issue with the pipes' RFC was found that will cause a
change in behavior
between beta1 and the upcoming beta2. A more detailed explanation will be posted
to internals@ soon.

8.5.0beta2 should be expected in 2 weeks, i.e. on 28 Aug 2025.
Hash values and PGP signatures can be found below or at

Thank you, and happy testing!

Volker Dusch, Daniel Scherzer, and Pierrick Charron
