For over a decade, Microsoft has helped fund build infrastructure for the PHP for Windows community. We decided to transition out of this effort starting with the upcoming release and as part of our yearly review of this investment. During this transition, we will work with members of the community who choose to take this packaging on. While we will no longer work on PHP builds for Windows, expect to see us remain involved in PHP in many ways across MS as we continue supporting PHP developers and collaborating with the community on security fixes.

I admit to a certain degree of confusion in light of the previous
announcement which said:
"We are not [...] going to be supporting PHP for Windows in any capacity
for version 8.0 and beyond."
Has this been a policy change since the first announcement?

What will help this community most is to have a copy of your notes of
workflow of how the binaries were created so easily!. Microsoft has got
one of the best document site on C#, C++ and Azure but I haven't seen
anything about php. It would, therefore be very useful if something
about php is posted somewhere so that php users, who are still on
Windows and wants to remain on windows, can continue compiling the php
code for private use.
