See the complete Upgrade Guide in the Documentation

• Dropped PHP 7.3 and PHP 7.4 support
• BC: Using strict comparison internally everywhere, consequences:
  • types are now type sensitive,
  • "2" != 2
  • null != 0
  • if you can do: YourEnum::create("2") then you can't YourEnum::create(2)
• Added the feature to create enums that have a null value but the default is not the null one.
• Changed the internals to utilize streamlined PHP 8 features
• Changed the internal implementation to use argument and return types everywhere
• Changed the git attributes so that the test suite, docs and other helper files aren't exported in the vendor folder
