# Release 21.11 (?, 2021.11/??)

In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights:

- Support is planned until the end of April 2022, handing over to 22.05.

## Highlights

- PHP now defaults to PHP 8.0, updated from 7.4.

## New Services

- geoipupdate, a GeoIP database updater from MaxMind. Available as services.geoipupdate.

- sourcehut, a collection of tools useful for software development. Available as services.sourcehut.

## Backward Incompatibilities

- The `staticjinja` package has been upgraded from 1.0.4 to 2.0.0

- `services.geoip-updater` was broken and has been replaced by services.geoipupdate.

- PHP 7.3 is no longer supported due to upstream not supporting this version for the entire lifecycle of the 21.11 release.

- Those making use of `buildBazelPackage` will need to regenerate the fetch hashes (preferred), or set `fetchConfigured = false;`.
