Xdebug Update: November 2024
In this monthly update I explain what happened with Xdebug development
GitHub and Pro/Business supporters will get it earlier, around the first of each month.
On GitHub sponsors, I am currently 43% towards my $2,500 per month goal, which is set to allow continued maintenance of Xdebug.
If you are leading a team or company, then it is also possible to support Xdebug through a subscription.
In the last month, I spend around 10 hours on Xdebug, with 22 hours funded.
Xdebug 3.4
PHP 8.4 was released at the end of November, and with that it was also necessary to release Xdebug 3.4 with support for it. Before I did that, I had another good look at many issues to try to find out what the problem was.
I fixed a few issues, and another set of issues disappeared due to fixes in PHP itself.
If you find any issues with Xdebug 3.4, then please send me a bug report through the issue tracker.
Xdebug Videos
I have created no new Xdebug videos in the last month, but there is a new video in my "Writing Extensions" series.
All Xdebug videos can be watched on my channel.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to reach out to me on Mastodon or via email.
Business Supporter Scheme and Funding
In the last month, no new business supporters signed up.
Besides business support, I also maintain a Patreon page, a profile on GitHub sponsors, as well as an OpenCollective organisation.
If you want to contribute to specific projects, you can find those on the Projects page.
Xdebug Cloud
Xdebug Cloud is the Proxy As A Service platform to allow for debugging in more scenarios, where it is hard, or impossible, to have Xdebug make a connection to the IDE. It is continuing to operate as Beta release.
Packages start at £49/month, and I have recently introduced a package for larger companies. This has a larger initial set of tokens, and discounted extra tokens.
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.

I've just finished reading "Children of Ruin", by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
The second book in the series, following Children of Time (the one with the spiders).
Great read, but a little creepy at times.
