Hello,
Please note that CentOS is still running PHP 5.2.x out of the box. The same goes for the cheap controlpanel DirectAdmin.
With a test in cPanel users almost 90% is running CentOS 5.x with PHP 5.2.x
With changing the minimum version we would stop a lot of users from using mediawik...
Best,
Huib

Here we are again, looking at PHP version bumps. Our current minimum version is 5.2.3, released in June 2009 (5.2.0 was November 2006).
I'm proposing to at least bump to version 5.3.0 (as the minimal), release back in June 2006. Though a higher point release would be acceptable
Jeroen asked a few days ago too so there must be interest for PHP 5.3 new features.
We should stick to 5.2.x for now, the main reason would be to keep compatibility with HipHop Virtual Machine for PHP [1]. I have no idea which 5.3 features is/will be supported, Tim probably has more informations.
Also, would be great to avoid code which do not backport to 1.19. I suspect the day we had 5.3.x, people will start rewriting everything to use closure and namespaces, making the code totally different again, breaking back compatibility with extensions etc...
