    The 4.1.x releases of wp-Typography will be the last to support PHP 5.3. The current supported versions of PHP are 7.0 and 7.1 (PHP 5.6 gets security fixes only).

    While WordPress has historically tried to be friendly to old PHP versions, the PHP 5.2 line has been End-of-Life for over six years now and 5.3 for almost three. While technically the required minimum PHP version will only be increased to 5.4 with the next non-bugfix release (wp-Typography 4.2.0), I urge everyone to make sure their host runs PHP 7.x. (www.ads-software.com even has a list of hosting providers that fulfill the recommended minimum versions.)

    Not only is it current and supported, PHP 7.0 (and 7.1) is also dramatically faster in real world applications, including when running resource intensive plugins like wp-Typography.
