Package Version is Old

Asked by AKIN CAN

Your PHP Package in your Official Ubuntu Package Platform is very old. We cannot take advantage of the features brought by the new version of "PHP 8.0" (Current stable 8.0.6) and we are experiencing version conflicts and problems occur with new add-ons. I wonder if your developer team can update this version? This will be very useful for all web developers. Doing third-party installations is very problematic for us developers (also from other people's repos). I really like using Ubuntu and its products. :)

Thank you so much in advance.

The package you are referring to will be with Ubuntu Impish 21.10 final release on 2021-10-14.
https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/php8.0
Ubuntu is not a rolling release. It will not be available on any earlier versions of Ubuntu.

Oh, I didn't notice that in the package list. Looks like we have to wait a bit.
