If you mean there will be a PHP 7.4 encoder that will compile scripts using 7.4 language features, such as short form closures and typed properties, then that encoder will indeed be in version 11 and not added to 10, It depends on what you mean by "compatible". Will the Ioncube 10 will be compatible with PHP7.4 or should we wait for a v11 ? However, you will not be able to do so for encoded files. You should be able to use the preload feature for unencoded files, which may be useful for frameworks. So if I use ioncube, I won't get performance benefit from php 7.4 OPCache preload ? It will not be possible to include functionality similar to the new OPCache preload option in the 7.4 ionCube Loaders. ones that do compile source code to byte code) do not provide such backwards compatibility.

Producing ionCube Loaders for a new version of PHP is typically a fairly complex task due to changes in internal byte code formats between PHP versions, even if PHP itself does not appear to have changed much on the surface, For PHP 7.4 we would thus need to translate between the 7.1 and 7.2 formats, as produced by the encoders for those PHP versions, to the 7.4 format. We may release beta ionCube Loaders for PHP 7.4 on Linux and FreeBSD prior to that date. We would hope to release an ionCube Loader as soon as possible after PHP 7.4 itself is released, which is currently scheduled for 28th November. When it is supported will it take advantage of the new preload option? I understand this is an opcache option but will IonCube have a simular option?
