news 28 Posted February 4, 2016 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] php (SSA:2016-034-04) New php packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/php-5.6.17-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This release fixes bugs and security issues. ***************************************************************** * IMPORTANT: READ BELOW ABOUT POTENTIALLY INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES * ***************************************************************** PHP 5.4.x has been declared EOL (end of life) and is no longer receiving upstream support. PHP 5.5.x is also no longer on active support status and security fixes will continue only until 5 months from now. For this reason we have provided PHP 5.6 packages as security updates. Be aware that PHP 5.6 is not 100% compatible with PHP 5.4, and some changes may be required to existing web pages written for PHP 5.4. For information on how to migrate from PHP 5.4, please see: http://php.net/manual/en/migration55.php http://php.net/manual/en/migration56.php The final PHP 5.4 packages may be found in /pasture in case there is a need to revert this update.
