all new feature release after 2008-02 require PHP >= 5.2

in phpMyAdmin we release last new feature release this month (2.11), after
this you will only get 2.11.x with PHP 4 compatibility (being in our current
6 month release cycle)

in 2008-02 we will release 3 with min. requirements PHP 5.2 and still
support 2.11.x with security and stability updates - we will watch the
downloads of 2.11.x and decide how long we will provide updates to them


btw. MySQL support will also raise to >= 4.1 or even 5 (we did not decide
finally now)

i think this will help us greatly better focus on develop new features and
not testing and fixing all sorts of PHP version with all it's missing
features new in PHP 5 ( - and the same for MySQL)

we have the same problem as your development team currently has - lacking
man power - so this will not only help us but our customers too with a
better phpMyAdmin.
