*** CI tools' upgrade status:
https://libraryupgrader2.wmcloud.org/status?branch=master** PHP 8.0:
*** Nothing major.
*** Our target is REL1_35 (and thus also REL1_36) as well as master.
*** Upstream libraries: Elastica-related PHP code is theoretically the last one.
*** Core: Some unit and integration tests still fail; thank you to everyone working on fixing them.
