Dear list members,
due to the change of the ILIAS 9 release schedule[1], the Technical Board decided that ILIAS 9 will support[2] PHP 8.1 and PHP 8.2. The support for PHP 8.0 will be dropped. This allows our developers to write modern and sustainable code and to stay current with the accelerated release policy of the PHP project.
We are aware that changing PHP versions at such a pace is a new and exciting development and imposing challenges for many developers (and administrators), but in order to keep the code of ILIAS in a state, where it does not silently degrade, we see no other option but following the lead of the programming language.
If there is anything we can do to help you here or if you have any suggestions, feel free to contact us, as always.
Best regards Michael
on behalf of the ILIAS e.V. and the Technical Board
