[jrfnl]

This is just an issue to keep track of which of the implemented RFCs for PHP 8.3 have been addressed.

This list should be updated when additional RFCs are accepted/implemented.

To Do

• Deprecations for PHP 8.3
  Sublist:
  • The NumberFormatter::TYPE_CURRENCY constant
• Deprecate functions with overloaded signatures

  • dba_fetch()
  • FFI::cast(), FFI::new(), and FFI::type()
  • Phar::setStub()

• Deprecations for PHP 8.3
  • Unnecessary crypt() related constants RFC rejected
  • Global Mersenne Twister - vote 1 *rand*() functions RFC rejected
  • Global Mersenne Twister - vote 2 *shuffle*() functions RFC accepted, but as it was a vote which was dependent on vote 1, nothing will change.

Process

If anyone starts work on updating PHPCompatibility to handle any of these issues, please either update the above list (if you can) or leave a comment below, so one of the maintainers can update the list.

Once PHP 8.3 comes out, individual issues should be opened for the changes which remain at that point in time.
