Summary	0036527: Support for current/newer php versions
Description	In 0035215 the php release 8.4 is supported which was released 1 year ago. Since these releases are no majaor releases, there are not many changes. The next php release 8.5 will be released in 1 month, and is already available for testing. Usally most problems can be found using a static analyzer like https://github.com/phan/phan It should not be to problematic to prepare a release before, or just after the release of php and support the latest version, as most things work in older versions too.
Tags	No tags attached.

However, we have just a small team with little resources as we support Mantis in our spare time, so it's hard for us to anticipate this as you suggest. Since this Issue does not identify any actual bug with PHP 8.5, I'm going to set it to resolved. If you want to help, please run the static analysis yourself and provide us with a list of incompatibilities or even better, submit pull requests to fix them.
