Or has to stick to the last minor framework version supporting this outdated plattform version IMO.\r\nThere is absolutely 0 reason these days to not use PHP5.5+ server envs.\r\nIt is even a security issue to continue to allow that IMO.\r\n\r\n2.8 is basically the 3.2 equivalent for the 2.x series. \r\n\r\nThoughts?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/cakephp/cakephp/issues/comments/168779484","html_url":"https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/pull/7962#issuecomment-168779484","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/cakephp/cakephp/issues/7962","id":168779484,"user":{"login":"dereuromark","id":39854,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/39854?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dereuromark","html_url":"https://github.com/dereuromark","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dereuromark/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dereuromark/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dereuromark/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dereuromark/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dereuromark/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dereuromark/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dereuromark/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dereuromark/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dereuromark/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-01-04T19:35:26Z","updated_at":"2016-01-04T19:35:26Z","body":"Maybe we can move it to 2.9 then."}}
