End of PHP4 support
The support for PHP version 4 for LAM will end on 01.04.2007. This means that all releases after this date will require PHP 5 to run. LAM 1.3.0 will be the last release which supports PHP4.
PHP 5 is available since quite some time and all major Linux distributions include it in their stable releases. There is also a backport for Debian. Therefore it should be no big problem to upgrade.
Why PHP 5?
LAM has grown a lot over the last years. This leads to more and more limitations which are related to the old PHP 4 object model. Switching to PHP 5 will make it easier to maintain the code base.
PhpLDAPadmin switched to PHP 5. The tree view is based on code of another Open Source project which is called phpLDAPadmin. The integration of its code requires that LAM runs on PHP 5, too.
