Hi, I'm currently investigating several options to speed up our software development. Your comparison looks interesting enough, but how is your support organized? How fast do you keep up with newer php versions? I'm currently downloading which is taking a long time. Is that standard to new versions?
Hi, thank you for evaluating PHsPeed. The initial download is huge as it is not only installing the IDE, but also the web environment based on Xampp, PHP environments and a sample database. Updates are installed incrementally, so only changed modules. On a full new release however, it is usually advised to install fresh, next to the old environment so that you can test on a new version, while not interfering with the old one.
Regarding support, we try to be as responsive as possible, and fix issues as fast as possible.
In regard to new PHP versions, we keep up with the official releases. PHP 8.4 is currently on RC2 and we already have it running in our development environment. XDebug has released a compatible beta, and we can confirm that - so far - no serious issues has been found. But we don't deploy betas and RC versions, so we have to wait until the releases are formal, then perform our tests and then release. Our deployment date is estimated in the first half of Januari 2025. Hope this answers your questions, otherwize, please ask.
Thank you for your fast answer. It looks like you're pretty responsive, which I like. Did some first tests and it surely is different than other tools I tried. I do appreciate the build-in debugger, that is a big plus for me. How do you manage multi developers on the same project?
Some are using Git, or CVS. You can use any source management system you prefer as there are source files.
