Drop PHP5 and HHVM support in 2.0 about gelf-php HOT 7 CLOSED

Right now PHP <5.3.9 isn't working anyway due to a bug related to redeclaration of abstract functions:

PHP Fatal error:  Can't inherit abstract function Gelf\\Transport\\TransportInterface::send() (previously declared abstract in Gelf\\Transport\\AbstractTransport)

This bug was fixed in php/php-src@31ef559#Zend/zend_compile.c

Could you please adjust the requirement in composer.json in the mean time?

@tralafiti Thanks for the hint - I'll look into this.

@bzikarsky Great, thank you!

Decided to also tag this as 1.2.

@bzikarsky Do you know what the last version to support 5.3.3 would be?

As we have a library that needs to support 5.3.3 and 5.4,5.6, and 7.0.

Thanks!

Looks like it can be closed considering #110

Hm, probably yes. I was a bit quick on the trigger-finger yesterday night and "rolled back".

2.0 development kind of dozed off as the need is currently not big enough. The current version still mostly works good enough.

In answer to the original question (from 2016 ... oops 🙄): The current 1.x development line will try to keep the current minimum versions. A new major version (with a changed API) may use updated version requirements for new fancy language features.

We can still consider this closed, as this is not really "issue-worthy" right now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
