I am wondering why I had to update the 'Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable' package,
since I got a lot of warnings using php 8.0.6 for some extensions.
something like 'extension linked with version xy cannot be loaded' or similar.
on the very same workstation php 7.4 worked without problems, therefore I came to the conclusion
that with php 8.x something changed.

Not really. For a long time Microsoft distributes the Visual C++
Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2019 which works for all
PHP 7 and 8 (so far).
Anyway, the sources of that manual page are at
<https://github.com/php/doc-en/blob/98f2a733bc07e1c6d8fddb1d865b09fd79bdbea2/install/windows/index.xml#L33>.

Description:
------------
the manual page: https://php.net/install.windows.requirements
mentions the requirements regarding 'Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable' for php 5 and
php 7.
it misses this instructions for php8 (which requires a newer version then php 7.4).
would be great this could be added.
I tried finding the source for for this manual page on the github organisation, but wasn't able
to find it
