While I *did* run some manual testing of some components, there's a lot
to consider with PHP 8. To date, distributions don't have imagick for
PHP8 (upstream discussion here:
https://github.com/Imagick/imagick/issues/331), xmlrpc is deprecated
(json-rpc works fine though) and I have not looked into what php8 does
to some really oldschool coding patterns in horde/rpc and horde/forms
which spam warnings as of php7. For the moment, I cannot advise running
either the released 5.2 versions or the 6.x dev-master on PHP 8.

Regards


Ralf
