PHP 8 support

[ruudk]

PHP 8.0 will soon be released (November 26, 2020).

Is this extension compatible?

[sodabrew]

The extension is compatible. A new version will be needed to allow PHP 8 in the packaging file, and I'll be sure to do that after testing with final RCs.

[ruudk]

@sodabrew Thanks. Would it be possible to publish master as devel to PECL registry? That would already allow others to test it with 8.0 RC's on CI.

Thanks for all the work on this @sodabrew. Looking forward to a stable release on PECL, that'll be useful to have for e.g. us at PaaSes providing the extension to customers :)

It builds and works with latest stable 8.0 - looks it's good time to tag new release

[mokraemer]

would be nice to have the release with php 8 support ready. Waiting for this to come.

./configure --enable-memcached-session --enable-memcached-igbinary --enable-memcached-msgpack --enable-memcached-sasl --enable-memcached-protocol
make -j 8

make error:

The command '/bin/sh -c docker-php-install ${PHP_EXTENSIONS}' returned a non-zero code: 2

But It is working find without --enable-memcached-protocol

@mokraemer

any news here?

If you wish to develop with it (hopefully not for production), you can try cloning master then building with php8.0-dev

[sodabrew]

Just a couple details left before I put out a release - some recent PRs show you the activity to make sure that the extension throws errors in the new style and the new type checks.

Hi, is there any update about the release?

[ruudk]

Please create a tag so that we can start testing it 🙏

Any progress?

[mokraemer]

ping...

[PirxDanford]

We had been blissfully ignorant of the missing support and our acceptance test scenarios with PHP 8 had been using memcached. This explains the weird random session loss that we had been facing.
Also - Ping ;-)

any news?

We're now less than 1 month away from PHP 8.1's release and it doesn't appear there's been a release of memcached in nearly 2 years (2019-12-03).

Are there any maintainers for this project that could tag a BETA release in the current state for a PECL release? I see earlier this year @remicollet has merged in some fixes for PHP 8.1 already.

3.2.0RC1 s released

[sodabrew]

Thank you @remicollet!
