Hello Kevin, I will do so. I did read the release notes and it states
Release Highlights
... Please note that v1.16.2 requires PHP 8 and v1.15.7 is compatible with PHP 7.2 to 7.4
release notes.
HTTP server running Microsoft® IIS or Apache, PHP version 8, MySQL database version 5.5
As it have not mentioned a specific version like 8.0 (as it does on the 1.15.7 release) I just assumed the latest and greatest.
