Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: 5.3 final release
From: gwang@litespeedtech.com (George Wang)

Hi,

I have a request to include our latest sapi/litespeed V6.6 to the EOL 
PHP 5.3 release. I thought it was EOL already.

We had some difficult to commit our LiteSpeed SAPI code into PHP source 
repository before, so it is lagging behind our office release.
The sapi/litespeed code in 5.3.28 is the V5.5 release, which is very 
old. We have a script to patch LiteSpeed SAPI to latest version when 
user build PHP binary for production use. However, we start to push for 
rpm packages, some vendors only take the official PHP release. It could 
be a big problem for PHP 5.3 if only the official code is used. PHP 
5.4/5.5/5.6 branch has been updated to the latest, and will be kept 
up2date from now on.

Fortunately, there are one more release for 5.3, I sent in a pull 
request for the PHP-5.3 branch on Github which updates sapi/litespeed 
code to the latest v6.6, it is the version has used in production for 
long time.

https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/739

Hopefully, it is not too late. :-)

Thanks,
George Wang
