Our [server requirements](https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/4/getting_started/server_requirements/) doc states \"PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.x\" support. As an open source project, we should make clear statements about our support. I would argue that it's not a semver violation to drop language support for a language version that's EOL, but that's up for discussion. Going PHP 7 only will have some advantages which I'm sure someone will be able to list here ;) \r\n\r\nMinor releases are supported for 18 months now (see [announcement](https://www.silverstripe.org/blog/update-on-silverstripe-5-x/)), so technically that's your grace period for PHP 5.x support. It's debatable if \"supported release\" includes support on EOL language versions. I'd argue that those two are separate. It's unclear if we can even run CI on PHP 5.x for this long (depending on Travis support).\r\n\r\nNote: For some platforms associated with the SilverStripe projects, commitments have been made by SilverStripe Ltd. about grace periods (https://www.cwp.govt.nz/updates/news/php-7-1-upgrade/).\r\n\r\nDrupal has [announced](https://www.silverstripe.org/blog/update-on-silverstripe-5-x/) back in Jan 2018 that Drupal 8.x will remove PHP 5.x support in March 2019.\r\n\r\n/cc @silverstripe/core-team "},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/comments/446458777","html_url":"https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/8556#issuecomment-446458777","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/8556","id":446458777,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQ0NjQ1ODc3Nw==","user":{"login":"sminnee","id":59968,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjU5OTY4","avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/59968?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sminnee","html_url":"https://github.com/sminnee","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sminnee/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sminnee/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sminnee/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sminnee/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sminnee/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sminnee/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sminnee/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sminnee/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sminnee/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-12-12T04:33:07Z","updated_at":"2018-12-12T04:33:07Z","author_association":"MEMBER","body":"Seems good to me "}}
