Tony Wood	Wednesday 06 July 2005 1:43:47 am Hi, I just read a worrying comment in one of the bug reports. http://ez.no/bugs/view/6879 It looks as if 3.6.1 will require php 4.4.x to run properly. Can you please confirm this, before I get worried :) Tony Note: This is a duplicate of the Question asked by Bruce http://ez.no/community/forum/general/release_date_for_3_6_1 Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!

Paul Borgermans	Wednesday 06 July 2005 3:52:50 am Hi Tony, Start worrying I'm holding back upgrades to the 3.6.x series for production sites. Installing php 4.4 doesn't bother me, need more extensions than any of the entreprise distro's offer -paul eZ Publish, eZ Find, Solr expert consulting and training http://twitter.com/paulborgermans
Derick Rethans	Wednesday 06 July 2005 4:32:28 am No need to start worrying yet - we ofcourse try to find a good solution for this. We would still actively recommend to use PHP 4.4.0 with eZp 3.6.1 ofcourse, as there are simply too many things that <i>can</i> go wrong with PHP 4.3.x.
Paul Forsyth	Wednesday 06 July 2005 4:46:47 am Personally i'd like to see the 3.6 series untouched, changes backed out and a patch provided for those who need it. I dont like to see changes like this for a maintainence release. 3.7 can make the change of course. paul
Lydie Soler	Wednesday 06 July 2005 4:52:19 am Hi, I am thinking to update to 3.6. I have php 4.3.9 and I don't want to upgrade it to php 4.4. So would you recommend me to stay in 3.5 or upgrade to 3.6 Thanks Lydie
Tony Wood	Wednesday 06 July 2005 5:18:53 am Hi, I am now worried, we have production sites in 3.6 that have deployed. Now a minor release should not need an system change like this. I am concerned because this is an extra cost to deployment and basically prevent 3.6 upgrades until the systems with 4.3 can be upgraded tested etc. We could not go with 4.4 as it is still in RC. Please ensure that 3.6 series does not require this upgrade. IMHO: This should be parked till 3.7 when we can plan for it in advance rather than finding out a week before 3.6-1 release. I would also like to ensure that architectural changes like this are explained to us in advance so we do not get these little surprises :) I don't want to sound ratty, but this was a nasty shock to me escpecially as we just won the Olympics in London and the Software Patents Bill got canned. It was such a good day :) Thanks Tony Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!

Frederik Holljen	Wednesday 06 July 2005 6:03:12 am Hi all, I've just opened a discussion about this on our public mailing list. I also want to emphasize Dericks statement: eZ publish doesn't run properly with PHP 4.3 and older (actually, no object oriented PHP program with references does). You can solve this only by upgrading to PHP 4.4. Because of this we want to provide upgrade paths to PHP 4.4 for our currently supported branches.
