At the moment, we are unable to offer 7.4.0 because the utility we use to compile PHP is not yet updated for it. They are having difficulties, and I’m sure they would appreciate your help. See, for example: > > ---

Your `composer.json` is complaining, the extension is there, only with a different numeric version. ---
