The first alpha version of PHP 8.5.0 has been released for testing, featuring numerous enhancements and bug fixes. The update consists of an optimized `bc_divide()` implementation, an adjustment to the n_scale parameter to 0 when the result is 0, and the application of the BC_VECTOR array for sizes that do not exceed 64 bytes.
CLI has been enhanced to feature the -ini=diff option, which allows for the printing of INI settings that have been modified from the built-in default. CURL has been enhanced with the introduction of CURLFOLLOW_ALL, CURLFOLLOW_OBEYCODE, and CURLFOLLOW_FIRSTONLY values for the CURLOPT_FOLLOLOCATION curl_easy_setopt option. COM provides fixed property access for PHP objects encapsulated in variants, as well as method calls for these PHP objects within variants. Core has been enhanced with the introduction of the PHP_BUILD_DATE constant, improved support for closures and first-class callables in constant expressions, and the implementation of `clock_gettime_nsec_np()` for high-resolution timing on macOS. The enchant module has been enhanced with the introduction of enchant_dict_remove_from_session() and enchant_dict_remove(). The EXIF module has been enhanced with the addition of OffsetTime* Exif tags. The FileInfo module has been updated to version 5.46, and the FPM module has been corrected to work with FPM and httpd ProxyPass. The GD module has been addressed with bug fixes #68629 and #64823, while the Intl module has been enhanced with DECIMAL_COMPACT_SHORT and DECIMAL_COMPACT_LONG for the NumberFormatter class. The MySQLi module has been addressed with corrections for bug GH-17900 and GH-8084, while the Opcache module has received updates to resolve issues with the ZTS OPcache build on Cygwin.
