Well, the PHP for Windows team does not want to + provide possibly premature binary packages, so as usual, we will wait until + late January or early February to trigger the mass build for all applicable + PECL packages; that is, after PHP 8.1.2 has been released, what is currently + scheduled for January, 20th. After the builds have been done, you can + download the binary packages from <a href="https://pecl.php.net/">pecl.php.net</a> + as usual. + </p> + <p> + Waiting for two months is no option for you? In that case you can download + <a href="https://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/snaps/">snapshot builds</a> of + some of the PECL packages. If there is no snapshot for your package available, + consider to <a href="https://windows.php.net/team.php">contact the team</a> + and to request that a snapshot for that package is being build. Note though, + that these snapshot builds are not recommended for production. However, testing + these and reporting issues is very welcome! + </p> + </div> +</div><!-- .info -->
