We are not, however, going to be supporting PHP for Windows in any
capacity for version 8.0 and beyond.


Hi Dale!

First, let me convey all our appreciation for the work Microsoft has put
into supporting PHP on Windows over the years. Thank you also for letting
us know in advance to not expect 8.0 builds. I guess this decision must
have only been made very recently since 8.0.0alpha1 and alpha2 builds were
produced already.

I won't say I'm not bummed, of course. Nevertheless, y'all gotta do what
you gotta do. I'm sure we can work out an alternative by the end of the
year.

All the best,
-Sara Golemon (PHP 8.0 Release Manager)
