# PHP 8.4 at least

**[stitcher.io](https://daily.dev/sources/stitcher)** · 3 min read · 161 upvotes · 4 comments

## Summary

Tempest will require PHP 8.4 due to significant upcoming changes, like property hooks. The author believes in leveraging the initial flexibility of open-source projects to embrace new features early, pushing the community to stay current with PHP versions, and deliberately slowing initial adoption to manage quality and feedback effectively.

> Actually love that last point the author made. Slowing the adoption rate in such a natural way gives the maintainer a more gradual feedback curve

> I had the (bitter) opportunity of facing an update issue this year. We jumped from php 7.4 up to php 8.3, and breaking changes were all over the place.

> I really loved that perspective, perhaps for a production environment is more convenient to be a couple minor releases behind, but failing to update consistently will be more chaotic sooner or later.
