Upgrade php version to stable version (currently 8.4)

[igorkrz]

Current version of PHP(8.1) is reaching end of life by the end of the year, currently it is locked in the composer.json to use the version 8.1.x:

"require": {
        "php": "8.1.*",

It would be great if that version is bumped ideally to the current stable version which is 8.4 by the time I am writing this

Any news on this ?

Hi,

It would be highly desirable to add at least support for PHP 8.2 soon, so that the project can run on a PHP version that will continue receiving security updates until the end of 2026.

Could you please provide an update on whether there are any plans or timelines for this?

Hi, it seems no one is working on the community version anymore. I'm trying to upgrade the project all the way to PHP 8.4, but I'm going to go through the inbetween versions of PHP as well

will Akeneo allow the community to move the CE forward? basic features and php upgrades for example?
