PHP8.4 "voku\helper\UTF8::reduce_string_array(): Implicitly marking parameter $remove_short_values as nullable is deprecated"

[Athar42]

Steps to reproduce

Hi,

Just wanted to report an error which is triggered by this app, seems to be related to a dependancy (once again :D ):

voku\helper\UTF8::reduce_string_array(): Implicitly marking parameter $remove_short_values as nullable is deprecated, the explicit nullable type must be used instead at /home/web/apps/mail/vendor/voku/portable-utf8/src/voku/helper/UTF8.php#13827

Just like AMP case, I don't have more info, but still wanted to share it there so you know it.

Also, this issue seems to rely on apps/mail, but it seems to get triggered on update contacts and calendar as those two apps also got updated at the same time (see additional info)

Thanks.

Shouldn't get an error in the events log.

Thank you for your report.

This is also an upstream issue, unfortunately: voku/portable-utf8#217.
