Yes we have done the testing for Alpine3.21, Debian12, Ubuntu24.02, CentOS9 and Suse15.6

- Support for Debian 12 and 13
- Support for Red Hat 9
- Support for Alpine 3.21, 3.22, and 3.23
- Support for macOS 14, 15, and 26

### Removed
- Support for PHP 8.1
- Support for Windows 10, Server 2012, and Server 2012 R2
- Support for Ubuntu 20.04
- Support for Debian 10
- Support for macOS 11 and 12

### Fixed
- Fixed segfault when connecting to Fabric ([PR #1549](https://github.com/microsoft/msphpsql/pull/1549))
- Enhanced error reporting in PDO driver when ODBC diagnostic retrieval fails ([PR #1549](https://github.com/microsoft/msphpsql/pull/1549))

### Limitations
- No support for inout / output params when using sql_variant type
- No support for inout / output params when formatting decimal values
- In Linux and macOS, setlocale() only takes effect if it is invoked before the first connection. Attempting to set the locale after connecting will not work
- Always Encrypted requires [MS ODBC Driver 17+](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server)
- Only Windows Certificate Store and Azure Key Vault are supported. Custom Keystores are not yet supported
- Issue [#716](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/716) - With Always Encrypted enabled, named parameters in subqueries are not supported
- Issue [#1050](https://github.com/microsoft/msphpsql/issues/1050) - With Always Encrypted enabled, insertion requires the column list for any tables with identity columns
- [Always Encrypted limitations](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/connect/php/using-always-encrypted-php-drivers#limitations-of-the-php-drivers-when-using-always-encrypted)

### Known Issues
- Connection pooling on Linux or macOS is not recommended with [unixODBC](http://www.unixodbc.org/) < 2.3.7
- When pooling is enabled in Linux or macOS
- unixODBC <= 2.3.4 (Linux and macOS) might not return proper diagnostic information, such as error messages, warnings and informative messages
- due to this unixODBC bug, fetch large data (such as xml, binary) as streams as a workaround. See the examples [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/wiki/Features#pooling)

The [Microsoft Drivers for PHP for Microsoft SQL Server][phpdoc] are PHP extensions that allow for the reading and writing of SQL Server data from within PHP scripts. The SQLSRV extension provides a procedural interface while the PDO_SQLSRV extension implements PHP Data Objects (PDO) for accessing data in all editions of SQL Server 2012 and later (including Azure SQL DB). These drivers rely on the [Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server][odbcdoc] to handle the low-level communication with SQL Server.

This release contains the SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV drivers for PHP 8.0+ with improvements on both drivers and some limitations. Upcoming [releases][releases] will contain additional functionalities, bug fixes, and more.
This release contains the SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV drivers for PHP 8.2+ with improvements on both drivers and some limitations. Upcoming [releases][releases] will contain additional functionalities, bug fixes, and more.
