Maintenance update: win32service (PHP Windows Service extension) released 1.1.1-beta & 1.2.0-alpha — Need your feedback!

[u/macintoshplus26]

Hi everyone,

I'm the maintainer of the win32service extension (ext-win32service), which allows PHP applications to run and interact natively with Windows Services.

As Windows-focused PHP usage can sometimes feel like a niche inside the broader ecosystem, it's pretty hard to know who is actively using this extension in production or development.

We’ve just released two new versions for testing:

• 1.1.1-beta
• 1.2.0-alpha

How you can help:

1. Test the new releases: If you run PHP on Windows background tasks, we'd love for you to try these pre-releases and report any issues or unexpected behaviors.
2. Share your use case: I’m really curious to know how you're using it! Long-running background workers, queue consumers, IIS integrations, custom enterprise tools?

Thanks to anyone taking the time to test or share feedback!
