By targeting bleeding edge, you risk two things: Alienating many users who may be unable to support bleeding edge on the server(s) they currently use to run the timesheet system slipping release dates because PHP keeps changing under you There are only a few areas of PHP that have significantly changed from 5.1 to whatever they're at today. I would strongly recommend supporting 5.x by either not using bleeding edge features of the language, or by offering alternative ways of accomplishing those things to the versions that didn't support those features. The right thing to do, is very often not the easy thing to do. -Scott ________________________________ From: David Thompson [mailto:tom...@us...] Sent: Monday, May 09, 2011 3:05 AM To: tsh...@li... Subject: Re: [Tsheetx-developers] Language switch We've had this kind of problem in the past, and I think will have it in the future too. Two years ago it was the move from PHP v4 to v5, but now v5.1, v5.2 and v5.3 all seem to have significant differences (in their libraries). The problem is that PHP is faster than we are, but we could use that to our advantage. Previously I proposed "mainstream", ie support the PHP version that comes as standard with the main linux distros (was 5.2, but I think is now 5.3). But maybe we should now go "bleeding-edge" and set 5.3 as a minimum. It would avoid problems in development, and by the time we release it should be mainstream. What's your experience?
