Hi internals,

In PHP 8.2.0, Bob Weinand found some critical bugs that are uncommon in a=
rtificial code,
but are very likely to happen in a real world use case.

>I've been testing the release with an observer enabled extension in real=
 world scenarios against other codebases.

>It turned out that if the observer was enabled preloading hard crashed. =
(https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/37b3e377a40799d75f7acd76e35d5eee8a=
d539ca)

>It happened that sometimes the opcodes array pointer changes in pass=5Ft=
wo() during the erealloc(). Happens rarely, but sometimes led to an unple=
asant crash with my extension. (https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/972=
36f9d9b92f1825b76a2aceac3dfc37e262fdd)

Also, some releases are scheduled just before festivity period.

Therefore, we decided to introduce another release candidate for 8.2.0, R=
C7 and to slightly change the schedule for subsequent releases.

Thus, the new schedule will look like this:

November 24: PHP 8.2.0RC7
December 8: PHP 8.2.0 (includes fixes from 7.4.35, 8.1.13, and 8.2.0)
Dec 15: PHP 8.2.1RC1 (synchronized with 8.0/8.1)
Jan 5: PHP 8.2.1 (in sync with 8.0/8.1)

=E2=80=94
Regards,
Pierrick Charron, Sergey Panteleev & Ben Ramsey
