Hi, all!

According to the supported versions page[^1] (and our release process =
documentation), active support for PHP-8.1 ends on 25 Nov 2023. Since =
our release cycle has a release falling on 23 Nov, this means PHP 8.1.26 =
is the last bug-fix release for the 8.1 series. Following PHP 8.1.26, =
PHP 8.1 will be in security maintenance mode.

I know there was some confusion around this, and I apologize that we =
didn=E2=80=99t make this clear earlier (though the dates have been =
posted for a while ;-) ).

PHP 8.1.26RC1 was technically the last chance to get in bug fixes and =
have them tested prior to the release on 23 Nov.

Unfortunately, we=E2=80=99ve had a few bug fixes merged into the PHP-8.1 =
branch since yesterday, and I=E2=80=99ll work with Patrick and others on =
figuring out what to do with these.

Cheers,
Ben
