Version 3.0.3 was released a month ago.

Thanks.

"Re-release of 3.0.2 without unnecessary files. See XCache 3.0.2 version for more detail release note and change log."
Comment 2 Rob Spekschoor 2013-08-19 14:46:54 UTC
Could you add 3.0.2 or 3.0.3? Contains some vital bug fixes
Comment 3 Ole Markus With (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-08-24 18:18:51 UTC
Has been in the tree a while already.

Where? I don't see any 3.0.3 ebuild:

Nevermind, I did a bit of a mistake there. I committed a revbump supporting php 5.5 just now. Should hit the tree shortly.

Why is the support for php 5.3 dropped in the new xcache 3.0.3 ebuild?

I could not find anything about the dropped support for php 5.3 on the homepage of xcache.

Support for PHP 5.3 is gradually being dropped from Gentoo. Any new version of any PHP extension will have php 5.3 support dropped. Please upgrade to newer versions of PHP.

Ok thank you for this information, but is there any news about this?

Where can i find a specific reason why gentoo is dropping php 5.3 support?

One of my customers recently migrated from php 5.2 to 5.3 and i'm nearly 100% sure that he won't be happy about a new migration (especially without a clear reason) :-)

Because upstream is dropping support.

If your customer migrated from 5.2 to 5.3 now, I would say they did a very bad mistake of not aiming for the latest version of PHP. These days, if one does things properly, the minor version migrations are painless.
Comment 10 Timo Eissler 2013-08-25 15:55:49 UTC
The problem is not my customer directly, but the encrypted software he uses which is now compiled for 5.3 and the developers didn't provide a version for 5.4 yet.

Always the same problems with non open-source (or GPL) software ;-)
