thx for your comment 👍

it sounds reasonable at first and I wonder as you used 8.3.3, I have 8.1.10 on Windows and JBT is using 8.3.11, I would expect deprecation on the highest PHP version most likely

however the point is to reproduce the problem and then see it gone after the patch 😄

@brianteeman Now, I remember JBT disabling deprecated messages as they were caused the tests to fail and there were to many. Perhpas after all the fixes I can hopefully enable checking deprecated again.
