DDEV Update Brings PHP 8.5, PostgreSQL 18, and Smarter Project Communication
Stanislav Zhuk has released DDEV v1.24.9, introducing support for PHP 8.5.0 RC3 and PostgreSQL 18 alongside improvements that streamline communication between DDEV-managed projects. The latest version also enhances integration with Platform.sh, now known as Upsun, and delivers new utilities for diagnostics, debugging, and workflow customization.
The update enables automatic HTTP/S communication between local projects, eliminating the need for manual external link configurations. Developers can configure DDEV to omit project names by default and access new commands such as ddev diagnose, ddev add-on search, and ddev xdebug info. The release also adds pre- and post-share hooks, PostgreSQL connection support for HeidiSQL, and customizable output for ddev describe.
PostgreSQL containers now run under the host user ID for improved security and compatibility, while PHP framework support has been expanded for Laravel, Symfony, and others. The release notes highlight additional refinements, including improved composer root detection, enhanced CI support, and reduced image size through better container optimization.
A regression affecting CI environments using custom project TLDs was identified shortly after release. CI users are urged to upgrade to version 1.24.10 instead, while local users remain unaffected by the issue.
