-Version 5.20.0 was released in November 2015you should be at least to that point, and we strongly recommend to apply the latest hotfix release.. +For the same reason, we decided to drop [[v5:php_compatibility_status|compatibility with old PHP versions]] as it was getting increasingly difficult to maintain it while adapting to the latest changesThis allows us to leverage new language features, make use of 3rd party libraries, and reduce maintenance effort at the same time.
  
 +We strongly recommend that you **always run the [[https://github.com/ADOdb/ADOdb/releases/latest|latest stable release]]**, which is the only one that is actively maintained; this includes bug fixes and compatibility updates for newer PHP versions.
 +
 +Legacy version 5.21.0 was released in February 2021, and only receives **security and critical bug fixes**. If you are still running an older version, you should at the very least upgrade to that, and we actually strongly advise to apply the latest hotfix release ([[https://github.com/ADOdb/ADOdb/blob/v5.21.4/docs/changelog.md|5.21.4]]).
