Discussion the drop support of PHP v7.3 #179
Comments
Hi @94noni, |
There is now a nice live PHP version stats view: https://packagist.org/php-statistics So currently
That is a good one 😄 .. but I get your point. I think 6th Dec 2021 when 7.3 security support ends there can be a hard cut dropping 7.3. People then had 1 year of no rushing since the active support stopped for 7.3 😉 And the good thing is that people who still wants to use this lib with php 7.3 they still can. It is just that they probably won't benefit from future additions to this lib. And this is one major point where I can understand to adopt new versions earliert and drop old ones. There is no downside for the people. And if there is a major bug upcoming you can still think about backporting the fix. |
I think the current policy is a good one. No doubt that the code can be smaller and more polished dropping support for not so old versions, but it can be hard for some projects to move on to the newer ones. We're currently working on upgrading from 7.2 to 8.0 and it's a ton of work. It's a work that must be done eventually, of course, and the end of support is a very good milestone to force it. |

Hi,
I began using MeiliSearch recently, and with PHP for a personal project
Regarding:
I am opening this issue to discuss the minimum version of this package, I think requiring PHP v7.4 could improve the codebase for the better, and will be very happy to contribute to :)
Feel free to close, related to #136 and #165
Cheers!
