Snipe-IT re-tags 8.8 within minutes to ship Alpine's patched PHP in its Docker image.

it-asset-managementself-hostedsecurity-patchphpdocker
◆Current state
Snipe-IT is a self-hosted IT asset manager whose latest visible release, v8.8.3, is a rebuild for Docker Alpine users after Alpine published patched PHP versions minutes after 8.8.2 went out. It also removes PHP 8.4/8.5 deprecation notices. The project now requires PHP 8.2 and recommends 8.4.
◆Where it's heading
The release notes say upcoming features will require PHP 8.3 or newer, so the runtime floor is about to rise again. For now the cadence is maintenance and security hygiene on the 8.8 line.
◆Prediction
With only one entry visible, the next move is unclear beyond a likely minimum PHP bump to 8.3 tied to new features.

    A rebuild of 8.8.2 so Alpine-based Docker images pick up PHP security patches released minutes later, plus removal of PHP 8.4/8.5 deprecation notices. Ubuntu image users were already covered. The notable signal is the warning that new features will need PHP 8.3+.
