| *: only PHP 5.6+ <a href="http://php.net/supported-versions.php">currently has security fixes</a> by PHP community<br> |

Actually, security updates are typically provided by the OS distributions much later than the upstream PHP end of support. It is still good to avoid using versions that are much too old, though :-)
An example of extremely slow distribution is CentOS http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=CentOS

Yes indeed, but some distributions like Windows don't provide security updates for PHP ;)
PHP is a big piece of software and so on most case it's simpler to rely on the upstream support IMHO.

There is also MySQL. (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL)

MySQL is in the "Recommened" first column. SQLite and PostgreSQL are in the "Works also with" column.

I've added some commits to be ready for the next 1.7 release and to simplify a bit the recommendation on older versions. I don't know if that's good to list all compatible versions on the home page of the project. |
|
PS: we'll need to release 1.7 before publishing this to master. See FreshRSS/FreshRSS#1548 . |

Maybe FreshRSS 1.10 requirements? I think a software basis is something slightly different than intended (e.g., GNU Core Utilities is a common software basis for most distros).

@marienfressinaud I added a couple of nitpicks. I don't think I ever even knew this PR existed. :-P |

Thanks @Frenzie, I just pushed changes on the server :) |
Hello,
It's time to update our community website, since 1.2.0 release requirements have changed and recommendations too.
I have modified requirements according to the FreshRSS changelogs, so a review from a developer will be more than recommended ;)
I also have added a note about PHP versions supported with security fixes (only PHP 5.6 have security fixes, even if FreshRSS supports 5.3).
Thanks for your great work,
Adrien
