Since PHP 8.1, PHP now offers an extended support period of 2 years for critical security vulnerabilities. Our customers also benefit from this, as the ExportDynamic version is directly dependent on the compatible PHP versions and the support period for ExportDynamic is therefore also extended by 1 year.

However, the second year of this extended security support is limited to the security patches provided by PHP. No bug fixes or updates for Windows libraries or integrated Windows extensions will be provided, nor will their compatibility with a security patch delivered during this period be guaranteed (“Updates to ABI incompatible versions of dependent libraries on Windows are not performed.”). 

Should one or more extensions used by our application be affected by a security patch in this last support phase, Quanos cannot guarantee compatibility. In this case, the customer should contact Quanos via Quanos Service Desk for an PHP version upgrade or an ExportDynamic update.
