Description
PHP versions prior 8.1 are end of life and therefore not supported anymore (source: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php). But there are many (Open Source) projects which still rely on them. If your module/CMS has to support PHP 7.1-7.3 and is relying on PDFParser, feel free to comment.
I am for a practical approach: as long as there is no need, don't drop support for old versions. But newer PHP versions provide features which make development easier/safer/more stable ... . To ease development (e.g. support stronger typing), drop PHP 7.1-7.3, but at least for ~ 6 months keep PHP 7.4 support.
Everyone is invited to express their opinion on whether we should maintain support for the following PHP versions:
- PHP 7.1
- PHP 7.2
- PHP 7.3
A simple vote would also help us: Please vote 👍 for dropping support or 👎 for keeping it.
