-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi,
MediaWiki core's master branch now requires a minimum of PHP 7.0 or HHVM[1], as decided upon in the RfC. CI has been updated no longer run PHP 5.5 tests. There are already quite a few patches[2] to remove code that isn't necessary now, or start using new features :) But out of caution, we're waiting until after next week's Wikimedia train deploy before merging those to ensure it doesn't need to be reverted for any reason. It's important to remember that while nearly all of the new PHP 7.0 features can now be used, they still need to be supported in HHVM (with hhvm.php7.all disabled). Notably, this means that scalar type hints cannot be used. PHPCS should prevent those features from being used (more on that in a separate email). Thanks to everyone who made this finally happen, especially the Wikimedia Operations team :) - -- Legoktm [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/405216/ [2] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/topic:new-php -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEE+h6fmkHn9DUCyl1jUvyOe+23/KIFAlsHydgACgkQUvyOe+23 /KJvEBAAj3ljVLOuSQitaB+6xakUTlZZpkcjRLyrbJ8KbfxyycB94pzlZ4fRdqHY nBnrokrawqQqgVEai9hq7nfVngWYH2eC11dhIXrpj2oklxswVaOxxwhPF92SJ9IP cuDawz9v6sqgMKDnQmHmTkpNmsWzez4d7LZMPW6UHKSGBl48ZZc5ZiTYlFyBKeLB BY5CNHY41flx21Z+BTQBQ2+tZ/Fm2kv6tAgI9gj8wpS5lviq1bhO+AH2/7qEcpjm LHZTcvrxHgctgU8XbEWXeGbNKK9/JUyuHApiDcgSXi81qGRHgaUytmYunXNQmsP8 51GzpGBL8R7YVP6uPFeYEcEJgvFAFa+xyeGHjDtTNniUj5co3eVixWvD668jCFc9 Lfd4O73vNMQluksNw81DEZQ5Pt+MMhA1DMqmAw+rwRYVdunfbumhh1uze03nJuCj Pk386sJkXVmawbc8PV9U8tnUoNIY+ngdzjl0ivOGwlxRpt30Usv0XxiA2i1R9IUU +BNGETmgpRg9i7cA4yqYGeOUeiYQhh4PHQeKIURp0M7BHChYsRCUqg6+blSNRqf4 TXpwIzAZ7Y3DjCxJLmn2zF1wHu5qSF20Af+hCf6A3WzYrnULGe2UtAk2BdOpJJ7h zgtG/lLuQPHCXxAfrP8gkVtfkTL+LGD1ZZm+AGlpDWYNNnB5pqE= =Xzun -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
