CMake 3.28 has been released. CMake is a build system generator for C/C++.

You know how it is. You fix one variable, contribute to docs and you're super proud of the product. 😇

BTW, a futuristic PHP build system in CMake is also progressing nicely.

💻 The phptherightway.com site has just been updated and now recommends the PHP 8.3 version as a starting point.
Screenshot from phptherightway.com site with a text: Use the Current Stable Version (8.3) If you are getting started with PHP, start with the current stable release of PHP 8.3. PHP 8.x adds many new features over the older 7.x and 5.x versions. The engine has been largely re-written, and PHP is now even quicker than older versions. PHP 8 is a major update of the language and contains many new features and optimizations. You should try to upgrade to the latest stable version quickly - PHP 7.4 is already End of Life. Upgrading is easy, as there are not many backwards compatibility breaks PHP 8.0, PHP 8.1, PHP 8.2, PHP 8.3. If you are not sure which version a function or feature is in, you can check the PHP documentation on the php.net website.
