PHP 5.5 drops support for Windows XP / Server 2003

PHP 5.5 will no longer support Windows XP and 2003. Those systems are around a decade old, so PHP is pulling the plug on them.

It was already mentioned on the PHP 5.4 release changelog. It makes sense, but I’m sure it will cause some issues with organisations who have not been paying attention. I would encourage all developers to sign up for the PHP Announcements mailinglist.
