Fyi, Composer will rely on pickle as soon as an ext dependency is detected. The idea is to check if it is available or auto fetch it if not. Once installed pickle will also support auto update like composer, so outdated version should not become a problem. The min php version is 5.4, without any kind of warning, deprecation notice and the likes. That brings us as far as I can tell on the safe side with 7. I still have to test with 7, adding it to Travis will help. > -- > Ferenc Kovács > @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
