[pmwiki-users] PHP version for PmWiki

[Bernard Bel]

Thank you Michael!

I had installed PmWiki version 2.2.74 on 31 March 2015 and it would not run under PHP 5.4

Version 2.2.76 accepting PHP 5.5 is very good news!

We use the Barthelme theme (http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/barthelme/), no particular cookbook.

I found it worrying not to find a list of PmWiki versions along with supported PHP versions.

All the best

Bernard Bel
