Dear developers,

in our latest Technical Board meeting we decided to NOT support PHP 8.1 for ILIAS 8.

Reasons: - It is not possible to support the range of PHP 7.4 - 8.1 in a single release without suppressing E_DEPRECATED errors for 8.1, and we don't want to soften our error reporting policy for future releases of ILIAS. - We can't guarantee all our dependencies are compatible with PHP 8.1 until the beta release.

Nevertheless, all component maintainers and contributors MUST provide commits with passing unit tests for the PHP 8.1 build.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards, Michael

on behalf of the ILIAS e.V. and the Technical Board
