Why is it imperial to keep PHP4 compatibility if great majority of hosting providers have already migrated to PHP5?

Because the numbers we see suggest that a large percentage of users are still using PHP4. It would not be a very smart move to move to PHP5 exclusively, alienating a number of users, ultimately gaining very little. After all, if you are using EE as such, you do not need to be concerned with what PHP version is used underneath and if you want to use PHP yourself, in your templates, plugins and such, you can certainly use PHP5.

I See Dead Server-Side Scripting Languages (please continue the conversation about PHP 4 vs. 5 in that entry’s thread if any wish to discuss it further)

Is the current thinking that any version 1.6+ would be upgradeable to v.2 when it comes out?
I know for support reasons it’s usually advised to jump from newest branch currently 1.6.4 but may go to 1.6.5.
Just wondering, thinking of installing a clean install now.
Thanks.

That’s the goal.  We see 2.0 as an update, not as a separate system.  There will be some changes needed, mostly around any third party add-ons you’ve got, but for most EE users it won’t be much more involved then any other version update.

That’s the goal….

So, when in October or November will that goal be realized?

😊

October? Nearly gone.

I´m playing all my poker chips at December, 24th…coz i believe it in Santa Claus 😉
