PHP 5.3.7 released (5.2.x no longer supported)

[NogDog]

Just saw this announcement at PHP.net: http://www.php.net/archive/2011.php#id2011-08-18-1.

In addition to the fixes/enhancements listed there, it also states, "All PHP users should note that the PHP 5.2 series is NOT supported anymore. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.3.7." I don't know if that is old news now, but it's the first time I'd noticed it.

It's dated today, and the first time I saw it on FB was this morning (or early afternoon?)

Ha...

Due to unfortunate issues with 5.3.7 (see bug#55439) users should wait with upgrading until 5.3.8 will be released (expected in few days).

The most scary part of that, I thought, was this comment:

Confirming, some very recent update broke it - right now unit tests fail on SVN. I
wonder if nobody run it before release?

Yeah, I just saw that. Updated my blog post accordingly. :rolleyes:
