WP 6.1.1 > PHP 8.0/8.1/8.2 Dev Note is missing

[mdxfr]

see ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/

Just add a post in the core make dev blog to clarify what PHP version WP 6.1 is compatible with, and link it to the handbook page.
Because PHP 7.4 is reaching EOL by 28 Nov 2022, some could get in a hurry in a few days... to find if WP runs ok against PHP 8.0/8.1/8.2

i ping desrosj because the 6.1.1 release date is very soon :-)

A dev note is in the works and is planned to be published around the same time as the general release of PHP 8.2.

Hello @mdxfr,

Welcome to WordPress Core Trac! Thank you for opening this ticket.

The plan is to publish a generic WP PHP dev note when PHP 8.2 is released. When? Currently, the 8.2 release date was rescheduled to December 8th.

Please note, the handbook was updated when WP 6.1.0 released. It shows compatibility for each PHP version. ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/

[mdxfr]

the question is more when the beta status will be raised for 8.0/8.1, since from 28th november those will be the only PHP versions with no EOL ;-)
Just to clarify to novices that WP is running well with 8.0/8.1, with only warnings.
and call the third parts (plugins/themes) to confirm 8.0+ compat.

Removing myself as owner as it's not something I'm working on (or had any part in so far).

The compatibility page in the handbook has been updated, so not sure if this really needs to be left open. We don't typically track posts through Trac tickets unless there are also underlying changesets required on the ticket.

Adding a close suggestion.

I agree with closing this as has been suggested by @desrosj. If however, others do want to reopen we can always do that. It does feel after the time has passed we can now move this on so I will do that today. Thank you everyone.

For now, I am going to close with a status of 'invalid' although it could be 'fixed' due to the handbook status.
