PHP 5.2.18 coming out?

Does anyone think or know whether PHP 5.2.18 is coming out? I want to finalize my installation with the last 5.2.x and don't want to go through it again. I won't be switching to 5.3 for a long time. Too many sites and deprecated features to go through.

PHP 5.2 is considered as not maintained anymore.

So, in theory, there should be no new version of PHP 5.2 -- and no new version is planned.


See the announcement of PHP 5.2.16 :

This release marks the end of support for PHP 5.2.
All users of PHP 5.2 are encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.3.


Still, if a very severe / critical bug is detected, it is possible that some PHP code-developper might decide to release a new version, to fix that bug.
That's what caused the release of PHP 5.2.17, for instance.

But this is not something that's supposed to happen ever again : critical bugs are not something you expect ;-)

You can disable deprecated messages in your "php.ini" config file. Its not the best way but so you can use php 5.3 and work step by step on the notices.
