  The microframe Expressive , Apigility , and ZF itself will be transferred to the new organization. So far there is only laminas / laminas-zendframework-bridge bridge package with a special autoloader in the repository. Full relocation promise to complete in the next few months.

Php internals

• [RFC] Arrow Functions 2.0 - Started voting on short lambdas and the voting process is encouraging. The syntax remains the same: fn($x) => $x * $y .
• [RFC] Deprecate left-associative ternary operator - In almost all languages, the ternary operator is calculated from right to left, but in PHP the opposite is true. It is proposed to abolish the left associativity at all, and if it is necessary to use several ternary operators, then explicitly indicate the order using brackets.

   1 ? 2 : 3 ? 4 : 5; // deprecated (1 ? 2 : 3) ? 4 : 5; // ok 1 ? 2 : (3 ? 4 : 5); // ok
