Officially as in on the front of php.net. Yes, we're coming to the end of 5.2 branch soon, so it would make sense to make it as clear as possible that other versions are not supported. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal --- ## #33395 — Ilia Alshanetsky — 2007-11-23T14:56:29+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/33393#33395 · In reply to: #33394 I think 5.2 will be alive for a while longer, at least until 5.3.X stable is released. 5.0 and 5.1 have long been dead, I think we can safely announce their EOL today if we wanted to. > > > […] > > Yes, we're coming to the end of 5.2 branch soon, so it would make > sense to make > it as clear as possible that other versions are not supported. > > -- > Wbr, > Antony Dovgal > > -- > > > Ilia Alshanetsky --- ## #33396 — Marcus Boerger — 2007-11-23T15:14:11+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/33393#33396 · In reply to: #33395 Hello Ilia, ok, then who is going to write the entry for 4, 5.0 and 5.1? To me it sounds like a job for one of the active RMs (Derick, Ilia, Johannes). And I definitively agree, 5.2 will be around for quite a while. marcus Friday, November 23, 2007, 3:56:29 PM, you wrote: > I think 5.2 will be alive for a while longer, at least until 5.3.X > stable is released. 5.0 and 5.1 have long been dead, I think we can > safely announce their EOL today if we wanted to. > > > […] > Ilia Alshanetsky Best regards, Marcus --- ## #33397 — Ilia Alshanetsky — 2007-11-23T15:22:46+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/33393#33397 · In reply to: #33396 I don't know about the "quite a while", but definitely for a few more months still. > Hello Ilia, > > ok, then who is going to write the entry for 4, 5.0 and 5.1?

Officially as in on the front of php.net. We already set the EOL date for PHP 4. August 8, 2008. See the 4th entry down on the php.net front page. -Rasmus --- ## #33399 — Marcus Boerger — 2007-11-23T16:48:13+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/33393#33399 · In reply to: #33398 Hello Rasmus, right, so we only need to add the other two. marcus Friday, November 23, 2007, 5:44:11 PM, you wrote: > Marcus Boerger wrote: > > […] > We already set the EOL date for PHP 4.

If I remember correctly decision was about PHP4 and not about PHP4 and older PHP5 versions. -- Tomas --- ## #33416 — Ilia Alshanetsky — 2007-11-24T20:46:19+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/33393#33416 · In reply to: #33415 The older versions of PHP 5.0 have long been discontinued and while there was no public announcement to that effect, it was certainly implied. All that is being suggested now (good idea IMHO) is to make this information publicly known. > > […] > > There is eight month difference between 2008-08-08 and 2007-12-31. > If I > remember correctly decision was about PHP4 and not about PHP4 and > older > PHP5 versions. > > -- > Tomas > > -- > > > Ilia Alshanetsky --- ## #33417 — Hannes Magnusson — 2007-11-24T21:04:04+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/33393#33417 · In reply to: #33416 "Unsupported Historical Releases We have collected all the official information and code available for past PHP releases. You can find more details on the current release on our downloads page. Please note that older releases are listed for archaeological purposes only, and they are no longer supported. " http://php.net/releases I agree though, making an official announcement on the frontpage is a good idea. Furthermore, I think http://php.net/reST (by Lukas) is news entry worthy :) -Hannes > The older versions of PHP 5.0 have long been discontinued and while > there was no public announcement to that effect, it was certainly > implied.
