 * thank you for providing us with version 2.4.7 beta. Trying to resolve issue with
   php8 that pot files cannot be saved after sync with new contents.
 * the new compiler.php (json compile) is missing on repository to test this. Looking
   forward to a new version running on php8

 * Sorry about that. It was under SVN. I forgot to add it to the Git mirror.
 * I’ve updated the dev branch again. Feel free to test for PHP8 compat, but note
   that the JSON stuff is still in progress. Compiles, but doesn’t load from custom
   folder yet. Working out how to handle merge as per MO.

 * Quick update to say that custom JSONs are loaded and merged now, on top of installed
   versions.
 * The merging may become optional because it carries an overhead on each page view.

 * [@kubiq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kubiq/) You need to install the 
   [development version](https://localise.biz/wordpress/plugin/developers) to test
   PHP8 compat. See also [this thread](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/got-error-notice-in-php-8-0-0/)
   regarding your report.

 * oh, well, PHP 8 is available on most hostings now and also new WP 5.6 is ready,
   but I see, that your plugin is not yet compatible (Tested up to: 5.5.3) :/
    that’s
   a pitty do you have some estimation for release date for fully compatible version?

 * [@kubiq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kubiq/) I don’t provide estimates
   for releasing new versions. I rely on people like [@svenbolte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/svenbolte/)
   trying the dev version and feeding back. The more feedback, the quicker the release.
