🚀 Big things are coming in PHP 8.5.
summary
PHP 8.5 delivers a fully standard-conform URL/URI parser that replaces brittle homegrown parsing and promises consistent, spec-compliant behavior across edge cases, plus new pipes syntactic sugar for chaining expressions without temporary variables. The release bundles dozens of smaller changes across the runtime and standard library listed on the release page, including performance tweaks and clearer error modes, and aims for incremental compatibility rather than breaking API shifts.
