Similarly, we will pick up support for the upcoming PHP 8 release as well as any other new releases in the 5 year LTS timeline. At some point in the future we will drop support for these versions of PHP. Since PHP 5.6 through 7.1 are considered end of life, we do plan on rolling support for these php versions off, as we believe it would be irresponsible to provide support for them over the next 5 years. We’ve made this decision based on the number of sites currently running on older versions of ExpressionEngine and PHP. Out of the gate, we have decided to support PHP 5.6 +. So long as those PHP and MySQL versions do not introduce breaking changes to ExpressionEngine 6 we will support them. Yes, version 6 will also stay up to date with new PHP and MySQL versions for the 5-year LTS release.

Will version 6 stay up to date with PHP and MySQL versions for the full 5 years? Throughout the remaining years, we anticipate most active development of new features to be on version 7 and 8. Over the course of the 5 years, it is our intention for there to be new feature additions for the first 2-3 years. Will there be new feature additions to ExpressionEngine 6? As such, ExpressionEngine 6 will remain consistent with that methodology and won’t introduce any breaking changes in the 5-year support period. Since ExpressionEngine adopted semantic versioning, any breaking changes would have to be implemented in a major release (version 7, 8 etc). Will there be breaking changes in ExpressionEngine 6 over the 5 years? In this post we want to provide a bit more clarification around what this means and what it will look like going forward. In our recent ExpressionEngine 6 update, we mentioned that ExpressionEngine 6 will be a Long Term Support release (LTS) and maintain support for 5 years.
