random_compat v1.0.9 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-10-20 // over 8 years ago
  • There is an outstanding issue mcrypt_create_iv() and PHP 7's random_bytes() ๐Ÿ on Windows reported by @nicolas-grekas caused by proc_open() and environment variable handling (discovered by Appveyor when developing Symfony).

    Since the break is consistent, it's not our responsibility to fix it, but we ๐Ÿ‘ป should fail the same way PHP 7 will (i.e. throw an Exception rather than raise ๐Ÿ‘ป an error and then throw an Exception).
