PHP 8.5.4 Release Candidate: Bug Fixes and Safe Testing Guide"

Software 44154 Published 2026-02-24 17:40 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The PHP 8.5.4 release candidate has been released, addressing several critical issues in the core engine and popular extensions, including memory corruption on Aarch64 LTO builds and crashes triggered by null casts. The RC fixes various bugs, such as "insufficient shared memory" errors on Solaris and deprecation warnings when accessing null array keys under JIT, making it a safer choice for testing than the production branch. To try the RC safely, developers can extract the tarball, configure it with their usual flags, and run make -j$(nproc) to compile in parallel. However, they should be aware of potential pitfalls, such as memory leaks in OpenSSL integration under heavy TLS traffic, libtool wrappers cluttering the PATH, and differences in floating-point results due to JIT fine-tuning.
