Possible outdated mirror, missing latest PHP releases

[dennydanek]

Hello

Get-PhpAvailableVersion -State Release
returns outdated versions.
It queries same results on web: https://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/ which currently has PHP 8.4.16 as latest.

However, the newest releases (PHP 8.4.17) are available at https://downloads.php.net/~windows/releases/.
This causes Update-Php to report "no update available" even when a newer version exists.

Expected behavior: PhpManager should check both mirrors or use the correct/current source for latest releases.

Same with 8.3 and 8.5

Environment:
PhpManager version: 1.33.0
PowerShell version: 7.5.4
Windows 11

Is there any official announcement about where the Windows binaries can be found?
I can't find anything related, neither at https://windows.php.net/ nor at https://www.php.net/archive

And the links at https://windows.php.net/ points to the https://windows.php.net/downloads URL...

Maybe @derickr knows something?

Or maybe @shivammathur knows something?

Hi,

The right (new) location to use is https://downloads.php.net/~windows/releases/ — windows.php.net is being phased out, as it's not under our direct control.

cheers,
Derick

I've just published a new version (1.34.0) that uses the downloads.php.net website, which provides the most recent versions:
