Fixed

#4740: phpunit.phar does not work with PHP 8.1

8.5.18 - 2021-07-19

Fixed

#4720: PHPUnit does not verify its own PHP extension requirements

8.5.17 - 2021-06-23

Changed

PHPUnit now errors out on startup when PHP_VERSION contains a value that is not compatible with version_compare(), for instance X.Y.Z-(to be removed in future macOS)

8.5.16 - 2021-06-05

Changed

The test result cache (the storage for which is implemented in PHPUnit\Runner\DefaultTestResultCache) no longer uses PHP's serialize() and unserialize() functions for persistence. It now uses a versioned JSON format instead that is independent of PHP implementation details (see #3581 and #4662 for examples why this is a problem). When PHPUnit tries to load the test result cache from a file that does not exist, or from a file that does not contain data in JSON format, or from a file that contains data in a JSON format version other than the one used by the currently running PHPUnit version, then this is considered to be a "cache miss". An empty DefaultTestResultCache object is created in this case. This should also prevent PHPUnit from crashing when trying to load a test result cache file created by a different version of PHPUnit (see #4580 for example).

Fixed

#4663: TestCase::expectError() works on PHP 7.3, but not on PHP >= 7.4
