With the release of PHP 8.2 in November 2022, Phalcon and in particular Zephir were adjusted accordingly to support the new code and generate the correct module for this new PHP release.

It has been a while since my last post. Recently, I’ve been using this blog to store things I come across, which I find potentially interesting to others and also as a personal reminder of the things I’ve accomplished in the past.

Many of us use Linux machines as our primary workstations. I personally use Linux Mint, and this post reflects my current installation.

Home scanners have not fully caught up with their drivers and support for Linux. For years, the Linux community had to rely on hacks and solutions offered by the open source community, so that scanners can work reliably on Linux environments. Luckily, more and more companies are offering Linux drivers for their scanners, but there is still work to be done.

Code coverage is a very informative feature of testing. For PHP, PHPUnit offers functionality to run tests as well as gather coverage statistics.
