Description

Current Status

  • On website it says: 5.3.7
  • In INSTALL.txt it says 5.3.0
  • in: typo3/sysext/install/requirements.php:define('TYPO3_REQUIREMENTS_MINIMUM_PHP', '5.2.0');

Facts

  • 5.3.0 is absolutely required
  • 5.3.7 is strongly suggested as it fixed a problem with the namespacing/compat layer that can lead to problems with extensions. Extensions using/relying on the autoloader are safe, extensions using include_XX calls will cause trouble, see upstream bugreport https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54624

Suggestion

  • make it 5.3.7 everywhere and put explantion in INSTALL.txt for the brave one that want to give 5.3.0 < 5.3.7 a try.
