PHP 5.3.27 Released - PHP 5.3 Reaching End of Life
11-Jul-2013
The PHP development team announces the immediate availability of PHP 5.3.27. About 10 bugs were fixed, including a security fix in the XML parser (Bug #65236).
Please Note: This will be the last regular release of the PHP 5.3 series. All users of PHP are encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.4 or PHP 5.5. The PHP 5.3 series will receive only security fixes for the next year.
In anticipation of this, XOOPS 2.5.6 has been tested and certified for PHP 5.4.x series. All our current modules that will be part of Basic Module Pack are also being tested on PHP 5.4.x.
Will be looking at certifying XOOPS 2.5.7 on PHP 5.5.
The first tests went without any problems, and everything seems to be working fine. So far the only errors we've got were related to deprecated functions, in particular: preg_replace() /e modifier.
Feel free to test XOOPS 2.5.6 on PHP 5.5 and let us know if you spot any problem besides the deprecated "preg_replace() /e modifier"
Personally I think that we can be actually very proud that XOOPS 2.5.6 has been certified for PHP 5.4.x, since many other CMS solutions are still only capable of running on PHP 5.3.x
XOOPS 2.5.6 seems also to run without any problems on
Maria DB (see
this thread)
Overall, the Core Team did a very fine job with XOOPS 2.5.6, delivering a very solid version.
