# 01:37 GWG Okay, refreshed another plugin. Not much on the feature improvements, but wanted to do some cleanup # 03:04 GWG [tw2113]: I also bumped the minimum to PHP7.0 # 03:04 GWG Got me the null coalescing operator I've wanted # 03:06 [tw2113] i'm torn on advocating for whatever minimum version WP requires vs whatever version you're willing to cut off at for PHP version # 03:06 GWG [tw2113]: I've been going with, whenever I have a reason to add a feature that needs the new version # 03:06 [tw2113] probably more so in existing vs new plugin. If it's been around for many years, go with the minimum version of WP that you need, supports # 03:09 GWG I stayed at 5.2, then jumped to 5.3, then 5.6, now to 7 # 03:09 [tw2113] i can't disagree, i mean you're not requiring PHP8 by any means # 03:10 GWG Well, I checked for PHP8 compatibility, but that is different than requiring. I'm ruinning 8 because I discovered I needed to test, because some things that required strict typing failed when I didn't. # 03:10 [tw2113] definitely, require !== recommend and WP core recommends higher PHP versions, but does not REQUIRE # 03:13 GWG Either way, I have more things I want to tweak. # 03:13 GWG I'm not sure I have that many showstopping features in most of my plugins...they are pretty developed. # 03:17 GWG I think there are still improvements that can be made gwg_, jeremycherfas, [aciccarello]1, [campegg], [nsmsn], [snarfed], [schmarty] and [bneil] joined the channel
