"Function strftime() is deprecated"

Hello,
I assume there is a plan to change, fix this strftime near future, or doesn’t hurt for PHP 8.4

Thanks

Re: "Function strftime() is deprecated"

We have removed all but two instances of the deprecated strftime() and gmstrftime() functions. Both remaining instances occur in our own safe_strftime() function.

There are some suggested replacements but I don’t know which is the best to use. Some rely on extensions that may not be loaded. Others seem fraught with locale and timezone issues. Maybe Oleg has some thoughts?

Re: "Function strftime() is deprecated"

The only case when one sees this warning should be a php 8.1+ with intl extension (enabled by default in php 8+) explicitly disabled by someone. Yes, we will remove strftime() from core when php 9 will be released, but then intl (or similar) extension will become mandatory.

We have PHP 8.4 compatibility tracking if you find any other related concerns when using the pre-GA 8.4 releases.
