PHP-8.1 closed for bug fixes, security fixes only

Hi, all! According to the supported versions page[^1] (and our release process documentation), active support for PHP-8.1 ends on 25 Nov 2023. Since our release cycle has a release falling on 23 Nov, this means PHP 8.1.26 is the last bug-fix release for the 8.1 series. Following PHP 8.1.26, PHP 8.1 will be in security maintenance mode. I know there was some confusion around this, and I apologize that we didn’t make this clear earlier (though the dates have been posted for a while ;-) ). PHP 8.1.26RC1 was technically the last chance to get in bug fixes and have them tested prior to the release on 23 Nov. Unfortunately, we’ve had a few bug fixes merged into the PHP-8.1 branch since yesterday, and I’ll work with Patrick and others on figuring out what to do with these. Cheers, Ben [^1]: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php
