 * Changelog lowest PHP-version is 8.0 from version 4.1.4, but the plugin seems 
   to require v8.1?
 * Is this just a missing information in the changelog or is it a mistake when setting
   the actual required PHP-version?

 * What error do you get with PHP 8.0 ?
 * EDIT: Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I have no way to test 8.0 as there
   is no WP image with this version and a recent WP version on docker hub : [https://hub.docker.com/_/wordpress](https://hub.docker.com/_/wordpress)
 * Moreover, PHP 8.0 is officially not supported anymore : [https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php)
 * So, it could very well works with PHP 8.0 but I just wanted to help move to newer
   versions of PHP 😉

 * Maybe I should have explained better.
 * There is an warning in the update in backend that says the plugin doesn’t work
   with “my” version of PHP (v8.0 which I’m running). This forces me to update to
   minimum PHP v8.1, but as far as I can see this is the only plugin that until 
   now requires minimum PHP v8.1, so I need to go through each and every of my plugins
   to test them for PHP v8.1, just to run the update for WP Opcache.
 * Also, as a wrote, the changelog only states that the lowest required PHP is v8.0.
   There is nothing mensioned about it requiring a higher version than that. Still,
   it is required.

 * I can’t translate the message in the red box in your first screenshot. Can’t 
   you use the plugin anyway ?
 * As shown in your second screenshot, the minimum PHP version I test this plugin
   is 8.1. In the changelog, 8.0 is mentioned for 4.1.4 version, not the newer releases.
 * Other plugins are probably compatible as it’s already an old PHP version not 
   supported anymore by PHP itself. Upgrade to a newer version of PHP is not a waste
   of time as WordPress will sooner or later drop support to PHP 8.0 like they did
   for older PHP versions : [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/)
