I released the first PHP 8 library ever ####################################### :category: PHP :tags: php 8 :date: 2020-07-03 22:12:00 +0300 At least among the libraries listed on the Packagist. On this Tuesday `sandfoxme/bencode`_ was updated to 2.0 that requires PHP 8 as a minimum. While it was meant mostly as an experiment and a joke, it allowed me to try some new features like ``Stringable`` interface and remove some old compatibility handling thanks to ``mbstring.func_overload`` being finally removed. .. _sandfoxme/bencode: https://packagist.org/packages/sandfoxme/bencode
