Description
Discussed in https://github.com/php/pie/discussions/460
Originally posted by asgrim December 17, 2025
https://github.com/php/pie/pull/443 - slated for 1.4.0 release - introduces an experimental executable version of PIE. However, an initial limitation of this experimental functionality is that the self-update mechanism has been disabled.
If there is enough demand for the executable versions, we can fix this functionality.
