PHP 7.4 feature request
PHP 7.4 is already at the first minor release 7.4.1. PHP 7.4. was released on 28 Nov 2019 and comes with some new features, such as:
Typed Properties
PHP 7.4 new features
Arrow Functions
Limited Return Type Covariance and Argument Type Contravariance
Unpacking Inside Arrays

We will support the new version as soon as it is added by cPanel. From our internal tests, we don’t expect any issues. PHP 7.4 will become our servers’ default PHP version.
