Not everyone can update to the latest version of Slim, so I&#39;m delighted to release version 3.13.0 which allows Slim 3.x to run on PHP 8.4 and PHP 8.5. Thanks to @oliver for their work on this! https://github.com/slimphp/Slim/releases/tag/3.13.0

RE: https://indieweb.social/@lornajane/116606916108970922 I love this. It is long, but Cory Doctorow’s Post-American Internet speech is worth a watch or read of the transcript. Lots of food for thought.

I have just released Slim Framework 4.15.2. This fixes a reflected XSS vulnerability in Slim’s HTML error renderer. If you are using Slim 4.4.0 to 4.15.1 and set untrusted/user-derived data into HttpException, please upgrade to Slim 4.15.2. https://www.slimframework.com/2026/05/22/slim-security-advisory.html

As noted by fellow BrumTech’er @maxw, tech is weird right now and everyone should consider whether they should join a union. I have another friend who had contract issues at the end of their employment where their union helped clarify things and supported them. Membership seems useful. Think about it. https://utaw.tech/
