Xdebug 3.1

I started working on the Xdebug 3.1 tasks, and so far I have mostly been working on making sure that Xdebug continues to compile with PHP 8, and on improvements to xdebug_info(). It now also includes whether a debug connection was successful, which IP address it connected to, and whether some protocol features are enabled.

I have also started triaging really old bug reports, and will close them if no extra information is provided. This should cut down on my "open issues" queue.

Xdebug Videos

As response to a few people mentioning on Twitter that "Xdebug is hard to set up with Docker", and in line with my original goals of creating content to show how to set up Xdebug within various set-ups, I have created a few videos.

I have released the first one, Xdebug with Docker and PhpStorm in 5 Minutes on YouTube, where you can also find other Xdebug videos in the Xdebug 3 play list.

Xdebug Cloud

Xdebug Cloud is continuing to operate as Beta release, and provides an easy way to debug your PHP applications with Xdebug, without having to deal with complexities with regards to networking.

Packages start at £49/month, and revenue will also be used to further the development of Xdebug.

If you want to be kept up to date with Xdebug Cloud, please sign up to the mailinglist, which I will use to send out an update not more than once a month.

Business Supporter Scheme and Funding

In March, no new supporters signed up.

If you, or your company, would also like to support Xdebug, head over to the support page!

Besides business support, I also maintain a Patreon page and a profile on GitHub sponsors.
