Actually there are 28 open bugs marked only for PHP 4. There are 106 open bugs marked for PHP 5, of which about 80% are also found in PHP 4. So really, count of open bugs for PHP 4 is about 100. Feature/change requests are not bugs. > since the php 6 is on the way to go, i want to ask about the support for php > 4, the time it will be officially be in history. If you would ask only me, the support has already ended. If bug is only found in PHP 4, I don't care. But that's just me. Derick will propably support PHP 4 until PHP 6 is out. :) > is there any plan after 4.4 branch releases? or maybe this is the last > branch for php 4? AFAICT, 4.4 will be the last of PHP 4 branches. There will be no new features in PHP 4. Most of the active developers concentrate on PHP 5 and/or 6. --Jani
