Subject: PHP 5.3 - end of live schedule
From: johannes@php.net (Johannes =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Schl=FCter?=)

Hi,

after 5.4.0 was released we had a discussion on 5.3 EOL. Even though it
wasn't properly documented the overall consensus was to go with option
one from https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php53eol "One year with bugs fixes
followed by one year with security fixes only"

So as quick reminder and help for the ones who don't want to do the
maths about our current release schedule themselves the schedule looks
like this:

   December 20th  --  Release PHP 5.3.20

   January   2nd  --  Branch of PHP 5.3.21
   January  17th  --  Release PHP 5.3.21

   January  30th  --  Branch of PHP 5.3.22
   February 14th  --  Release PHP 5.3.22

As of this date the 5.3 branch will go to extended support and should
receive security fixes only. Releases will be made based on need.

Please mind that the above schedule is tentative and unpredictable
events might change this.

Comments?
