We upgraded to 1.32.6 today. Everything looks OK. The 1.32.6 release announcement said this is the last upgrade, and we should switch to 1.33 or 1.34.
We rent a CentOS 7 VM. It is fully patched. We enabled Software Collections (SCL) to get something more modern for Apache and PHP. SCL provides:
- Apache 2.4.34
- PHP 7.1.30
- MariaDB 5.5.64
Also see https://www.cryptopp.com/wiki/Special:Version.
When we try the next upgrade to 1.34.0, we get the following when trying to update the Vendor gear:
# php -d extension=phar.so composer.phar update Do not run Composer as root/super user! See https://getcomposer.org/root for details
ComposerHookHandler::onPreUpdate
Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies (including require-dev) Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1 - This package requires php >=7.2.9 but your PHP version (7.1.30) does not satisfy that requirement. Problem 2 - Installation request for mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer 28.0.0 -> satisfiable by mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer[v28.0.0]. - mediawiki/mediawiki-codesniffer v28.0.0 requires php >= 7.2.0 -> your PHP version (7.1.30) does not satisfy that requirement.
What is the highest version of Mediawiki we can upgrade to?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_version_history says that 1.33 is the last version to support PHP 7.1. MediaWiki version 1.33 will probably be supported until approx. June 2020.
Note that MediaWiki version 1.31 is a Long Term Support (LTS) version supported until approx. June 2021.
