- Add PHP 8.5 release schedule link
- Note that the patch-level branch for PHP X.Y.0 is created as part of the last planned release candidate
- Clarify when patch-level branches are pushed
- Add a hint about the values for API versions

| Do not forget to merge up PHP-X.Y all the way to master. When resolving | ||
| the conflicts, ignore the changes from PHP-X.Y in higher branches. It | ||
| means using something like `git checkout --ours .` when on PHP.X.Y+1 or | ||
| master after the merge resulting in the conflicts. |

Didn't have a good example (assuming you mean an example command to run; if you meant an example commit happy to add a link) but added a link to the merge driver instructions

I remember the bit about the last RC being confusing last cycle; I think this clarifies this well.
