Hi!

The end of active support for PHP 5.6 is documented to be on December,
31th[1].  Does that mean that there'll be no further release with
"normal" bug fixes (but only security fixes)?

[1] <http://php.net/supported-versions.php>


It has support until the end of the year, so I guess there will be one
more release with regular fixes in early January.

Regards, Niklas


yep, that's my plan, and the PHP-5.6 branch will be closed for regular
bugfixes after tagging 5.6.30RC1:
http://git.php.net/?p=karma.git;a=blob;f=hooks/pre-receive;h=fdff955c6b13c434aab40cb35cf002ab7c7eb146;hb=HEAD#l32
from that point on only RMs can push changes to the PHP-5.6 branch.
going into extended support also means that there won't be RCs as we don't
have regular bugfixes and we won't have a release each month, only when
there are security fixes ready to be released for 5.6


I want to say a huge thank you for doing this. When 5.6.0 was new I moved all sites I am responsible for to it, and I have started porting my other sites to 7.1 but haven't finished yet. This gives me a few months to make sure everything really does work as intended.

5.6.x IMHO was a fantastic branch throughout and I thank all the devs for it as I look forward to 7.1
