Changed minimal required PHP version for Bacularis

[ganiuszka]

Hello Everybody,

In coming new Bacularis version 2.1.0 minimal required PHP version will be raised from 7.1 to 7.4. This move is related to switching Bacularis to new version of PHP PRADO framework.

Despite of the PHP 7 is EOL (end of life) we are going to stay with PHP 7.4 support a bit longer because many operating systems still work with PHP 7.4 by default. From systems that we provide packages PHP lower than 7.4 is in:

• Debian 10 - default PHP version is 7.3
• Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic - default PHP version is 7.2

For these two systems the last version for which we provide binary packages is Bacularis 2.0.0. For all rest operating systems we will provide packages as always after each release, nothing changes with it.

I am sorry for inconvenience for users who use PHP lower than 7.4. We encourage to update it.

If you have any questions or problems in matter of minimal PHP version, please let us know here in this discussion.

On some rpm-based Linux distributions (CentOS 8, CentOS Stream 8, AlmaLinux 8, Oracle Linux 8, Rocky Linux 8) default PHP version is 7.2 but in the system repositories are available greater versions too. In this case please switch PHP to 7.4 by this command:

dnf module switch-to php:7.4
