|
|
Major changes in beta 5 |
|
|
======================= |
|
|
The policy is to stick with upstream updates unless there are compelling |
|
|
reasons not to. The number of customers unable to run the software they |
|
|
want because of the PHP version constituted a compelling reason. |
|
42 |
|
|
43 |
PHP 5.2.10: is provided by the Red Hat Application Stack v2. |
Major changes since alpha 3 |
44 |
5.2 is needed by recent web applications such as OScommerce. |
