| <p>
|
| Hi all. Today, we will briefly show you about PHP7.4 support which will be available in the <b>next NetBeans version</b> i.e. <b>NetBeans 11.2</b>.
|
| </p>
|
| <p>
|
| First of all, I strongly hope that new features are tested by PHP users before NetBeans 11.2 is released because there should be bugs.
|
| Definitely, we need your help!
|
|
|
| If you are interested in them, please test it. You can download a dev version <a href="https://builds.apache.org/view/M-R/view/NetBeans/job/netbeans-linux/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/nbbuild/">here</a>.
|
|
|
| Then, we could merge new changes quickly thanks to our committer <b>Tomas Mysik</b>. Thanks a lot for your review, Tomas!

| <h3>PHP 7.4 Support</h3>
|
| <p>
|
| To enable it, you have to set PHP 7.4 as the PHP version of your PHP project. (Right-click your project node, click Project Properties.)

|
| <h4>Suggestion for converting a simple closure to an arrow function</h4>

|
| <p>
|
| Of course, code completion, formatting, go to declaration, and mark occurrence features for the above syntaxes should also be fixed.
