RC5 was GOLD, so version 8.0.0 GA is just released, at planed date.
A great thanks to all developers who have contributed to this new major and long awaiting version of PHP and thanks to all testers of the RC versions who have allowed us to deliver a good quality version.
RPM are available in the remi-php80 repository for Fedora ≥ 31 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 7 (RHEL, CentOS) and as Software Collection in the remi-safe repository.
RPM are also available in the php:remi-8.0 module for Fedora and Enterprise Linux 8.
Read the PHP 8.0.0 Release Announcement and its Addendum for new features detailed description.
Installation: read the Repository configuration and choose installation mode, or follow the Configuration Wizard instructions.
Replacement of default PHP by version 8.0 installation (simplest):
Fedora modular or Enterprise Linux 8:
dnf module reset php dnf module install php:remi-8.0
Fedora or Enterprise Linux 7:
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php80 yum update php\*
Parallel installation of version 8.0 as Software Collection (x86_64 only, recommended for tests):
yum install php80
To be noticed :
- EL8 RPMs are build using RHEL-8.2
- EL7 RPMs are build using RHEL-7.9
- this version will probably be the default version in Fedora 35
- lot of extensions are already available, see the PECL extension RPM status page or PHP extensions status with upcoming PHP 8.0 post.
