This is a preview release that supports PHP 8.6 beta releases. It also contains rewritten code coverage support, for better results, and support for FrankenPHP workers.

On Windows, Xdebug will now fail faster when it attempts to a connect to a debugger IDE that is not listening at the start of a request, by disabling some odd Windows functionality. This should drastically speed up requests.

A few smaller features have been added as well, and a few bugs have been resolved.

Xdebug 3.6 no longer supports PHP 8.0 and PHP 8.1.

This is a bug fix release that fixes issues with PHP 8.4 lazy objects while debugging, and when a lazy object becomes part of an exception trace. In either situation, Xdebug would call the initializer of the lazy object when it was not expected.

This is a preview release of Xdebug 3.5, also containing support for PHP 8.5.

The biggest new feature is the Native Path Mapping in the step debugger. This which makes it possible for projects and developers to create mapping definitions that maps files in directories, individual files, and even line ranges in files, that are being run, to files that you would edit. This is useful for generated files, compiled templates files, etc.

Path mapping also allows you to define directories, files, and lines in files to skip. This makes it possible to exclude for example vendor/ directories etc. You can read more about this on the dedicated Project Page, but please be aware that not everything has been implemented yet.

You can see path mapping and skipping in action, in a few teaser videos that I have produced:

• Xdebug 3.5: Native Path Mapping Teaser
• Xdebug 3.5: Skipping Elements While Debugging

Beyond Native Path Mapping, this release also adds experimental support for Windows Named Pipes control sockets, exposes the value of the current exception in a pseudo variable while debugging. There are also several bug fixes and performance improvements.

This is a bug fix release that fixes a: crash bug when Fibers are used; and a problem where, while debugging, Xdebug sometimes calls get property hooks which can then update and change the object's state.
