New Release

[remicollet]

Version 3.1.5 is very old (Dec 2019)

Lot of fixes have been applied in current code
especially PHP 8.0 / 8.1 compatibility

It will be nice to release a new version, and avoid users thinking this is a dead project.

I second this.

Whilst many here will be able to do GitHub-things and wizz a newly compiled version of memcached onto our machines, applying all the readme patches as they go along (whatever 🤷🏻‍♂️) the rest of us are waiting for the signal that our 3.1.5 installations are ready to upgrade.

Sure - this thought might kick in your "BUT ITS EASY… YOU JUST writes twenty instructions" reactions, but that's not the point.

2019/3.1.5 is very old… doesn't (or can't figure how to) install in an 8.0/8.1 installation through, and needs you to do you those clever things that send all the fixes & improvements through our "for the almost layman" package managers, please 😁

Hi @sodabrew @mkoppanen @andreiz ,

Would you guys be okay with me taking over maintaining this library?

I believe I have bona fides from maintaining Imagick (only 1 CVE so far), and some PHP core contributions.

cheers
Dan
Ack

p.s. Mikko - I have a slight sense of déjà vu...

[andreiz]

I don't mind

@sodabrew Happy new year 🎆 Would it be possible to tag a new release? 🙏

[ruudk]

@krakjoe I see that you are also a maintainer, would you be able to help out? 🙏

[meinemitternacht]

Currently the projects I manage at work are pulling from the most recent master commit for our Yocto builds, but we would really love a tagged release.

@sodabrew @krakjoe @ruudk @mkoppanen @andreiz
Any updates on this? What needs to be done before the next release (3.1.6 or 3.2.0) ?

[remicollet]

New version is really needed for all PHP 8+ users

Can we go ?

Other plan proposal:

• create github/php/memcached repository
• push to new origin
• given admin access to needed developers @m6w6 ? @krakjoe ? @Danack ? me ? (git repo + pecl)
• publish new version (3.2.0RC1 ?)

@remicollet you should have permissions to move forward, sorry about the delay ...
