Using the most recent version would make it more difficult for people on supported but not cutting edge operating systems to build from source. IMO, it should be buildable on all major Linux operating systems in regular support using their native packaging system. The oldest supported OS and version I can even conceivably care about is RHEL/CentOS 6 (which is in extended security mode), which appears to use curl 7.19; after that RHEL/CentOS 7 uses curl 7.29. In other words, I recommend against *requiring* the latest curl version and but do recommend bumping the minimum up to at least v7.19. Unless we really need something from newer versions (which it doesn't look like we do), anything newer than 7.29 would just cause friction for people building from source. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
