Hi, with the new RFC of explicit nullable in PHP 8.4, the tests will fail, we must upload the PHP version in the master branch for 2.0.50, there is already work done around PHP 7.3, but i think we should increase to at least PHP 7.4 , this will allow us to eliminate cwgans patch and use PHPUnit 9.6.

phpunit 9.6 works on PHP 7.3

There is also a PR with nullable types fix: #20133

@terabytesoftw Do you remember why #19959 was closed?

I closed it by mistake, but i have it locally, so i will upload it without problems, yes PHP 7.3 will also work with PHPUnit 9.6.
