# PHP 8.4 support & Passkeys update 🔐

**PHP 8.4 is here!** 🎉

Great news - we've added support for PHP 8.4 right away! This new version comes with some really cool features like property hooks and a handy new array\_find method. Want to try it out? Just hit that 1-click install button to either set up a fresh server or add it to your existing one.

**Making login easier with Passkeys** 🔐 

We're super excited about this one - you can now use passkeys to log into your Ploi account! It's faster, safer, and works with your favorite password manager. Just head to your profile, click on the [security tab](https://ploi.io/profile/security#passkeys), and you're good to go.

**More control over your deployments** ⚡️

You asked, we listened! You can now run scripts before, during, and after your zero-downtime deployments. Need to restart those queue workers or warm up your cache? No problem - you've got full control over the whole process now.

**Quick updates**:

- Added PostgreSQL 17 support
- Fixed that annoying Redis installation issue (no more "Class redis not found" errors!)
- Made SSL certificates available via ZeroSSL for all tenants

**Something exciting brewing...** 🚀 

We've started beta testing Ploi Surge, our new website load testing tool. Want to help us test it? Drop us a message!

**For our API users**: We've added some new endpoints to make your life easier:

- Manage your load balancers (attach/detach servers)
- Work with source control providers and their repositories
- Full docs: <https://developers.ploi.io>
