Hi everyone,
As stated in the first article in our newsletter this week, security support for PHP 7.4, and therefore its end of life, ends in just over a week. Active support for PHP 8.0 ends in less than a week. If you've not adapted your code you might want to do it soon. We have new releases this week from Symfony, CakePHP, PHPStorm and Laravel. Finally, if you're planning on migrating to Mastodon, Freek.dev's compiled a list of PHP developers who are already there that you might be interested in following. We hope our friends in the US are nicely settled with their loved ones, and those who are still in a mad dash to make it home to make it to Thanksgiving dinner we hope you all get to their destinations safely.
If you have an article, tutorial or podcast that you would like to be featured in our newsletter, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Do follow us on our social media channels on Twitter and Facebook. You can connect with me on LinkedIn:

All the best,
Adrian
