Summary of Changes

The voku/portable-utf8 package unfortunately seems to not be maintained anymore and especially in PHP 8.4 throws massive notices. Unfortunately we adopted it as a direct dependency to fix another issue with it in the past and are now stuck with it for compatibility reasons until the end of 5.x. #44654 removes it entirely for Joomla 6. To fix the PHP 8.4 issues, we forked the repo and added those fixes there. We are not going to maintain that repo.

Testing Instructions

  • Run composer i
