Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77363&edit=1 ID: 77363 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: spam2 at rhsoft dot net Summary: bundled libraries are always outdated -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: *General Issues PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Are there any *particular* issues that you are experiencing? We generally do not update bundled libraries on stable versions unless there is a specific reason to do so, as such updates carry stability risks. Of course we also prefer not to bundle libraries, e.g. in PHP 7.4 libsqlite and libzip will be removed from our distribution. There are currently no plans to remove the bundled libpcre though.

However, in my opinion, this should be filed as separate issue" it's not only about pcre it's a general thing - there is nothing like "if there are bugs which affect our PCRE binding" - bugs in a library affect PHP and the users of PHP one thing are security bugs like https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-3265/opdos-1/Pcre.html but that is only part of the story ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77363&edit=1
