PHP 8.4.2 RC1 released
The release candidate for PHP 8.4.2 has addressed multiple bugs across various components, including BcMath, COM, Core, Curl, DBA, DOM, FPM, GMP, Opcache, SAPI, PHPDBG, Standard, Streams, and Windows Server 2025. The updates include the removal of unnecessary padding with leading zeros, the resolution of issues with COM, Core, and is_zend_ptr(), the resolution of potential out-of-bounds reads in zend_dirname() on Windows, and the correction of memory leaks in curl mime handling. In addition, the release fixes problems with UBSAN warnings and a segmentation fault that happened with the breakpoint map and phpdbg_clear().
