Dear Maintainer,

Under PHP 8.5, array_first(array $array) is a strictly typed native function.
Framework_Bootstrap::test_array_first asserted that non-array arguments
(false, string) return null, which now throws TypeError:
  TypeError: array_first(): Argument #1 ($array) must be of type array, false given

This causes the package test suite to fail under PHP 8.5.

Upstream resolved this in commit 060fc95672498993d37e57f74d146a087eb572e0
by dropping the non-array assertions from the test.

Attached is a patch backporting the upstream fix.

Thanks,
Viktor Pashaiev

Hi,

AFAICT Roundcube 1.6.x is not officially supported with PHP 8.5, so I'm
lowering the severity accordingly.  I hope to find time to finalize
packaging 1.7.x for forky.
