The main PHP.net site has posted the latest release announcement for a pre-release of the next major version of the language: PHP 7.2.0 Release Candidate 4.

The PHP development team announces the immediate availability of PHP 7.2.0 RC4. This release is the fourth Release Candidate for 7.2.0. All users of PHP are encouraged to test this version carefully, and report any bugs and incompatibilities in the bug tracking system.

This pre-release version fixes some bugs found in previous Release Candidates and can be downloaded from the QA sites: source packages and Windows binaries. Based on the release schedule, the next release candidate will be posted on the 26th of October and will be the last (RC5) before the official branching of PHP 7.2.0 happens.
