Is MW 1.35 going to support PHP 7.4?

That's the plan. Currently we're waiting on upstream for one of our key libraries, and then we'll have to go through all the extensions and skins to check their compatibility futher (we've already found and fixed a number of issues).


MW 1.35 will still support running on PHP 7.2 and PHP 7.3 as well, however (I think).

In fact, the older 1.34 already supports PHP 7.4, so 1.35 will as well.

This isn't true. Bits of it may work, but we found several things in developing 1.35 that weren't working correctly, and there are likely still more in popular extensions, let alone random ones people might find, sadly.

Huh, Compatibility#PHP claims the opposite. It tells not only 1.34 supports PHP 7.4. According to said page, PHP 7.4 support even reaches back to 1.31.
