As mentioned yesterday, we’re currently in the process of adding PHP 7.2 support to the Hypernode platform. In this release we have updated some more PHP extensions to add PHP 7.2 compatibility.
We have compiled php-ext-snappy for PHP 7.2 and will be updating it from 0.1.9-1 to 0.1.9-2 on all Hypernodes. Snappy is the default preferred compression algorithm in the
CM Cache Redis plugin. Additionally we have added PHP 7.2 support to our php-hypernode extension for smart request handling. We will also be updating the Imagick PHP extension from version 3.4.3-2-byte to 3.4.3-byte3. For changes on that front see the PECL changelog for imagick and the Debian packaging changelog.
For local development environments like the hypernode-docker and the hypernode-vagrant we have also put a new version of xdebug in our repositories. The php-xdebug extension will be updated from 2.6.0+2.5.5-1 to 2.6.0+2.5.5-byte2. And lastly, we’ll also be updating the ionCube loader later from version v10.1.1 to v10.2.3 for those that have it enabled. For more information see the ionCube changelog here.
