 Hi folks,

We are approaching the release of PHP 8.4, the 3rd release I am involved into as a PHP member and the 1st from a PHP Foundation's perspective. There are enough new features but the most noticeable are the Property Hooks and the HTML5 parsing (in my opinion of course). You can find a nice summary here for example.

About FreeBSD 14.2, scheduled for next month, one noticeable piece for me is the optimisation for arm64 via SIMD. I invite you, in that regard, to watch the EuroBSDCon 2024 talk related to this topic.

Wish you well and see you next time ☝
