Release Announcement for PHPUnit 5.3.0
The PHPUnit development team announces the immediate availability of PHPUnit 5.3.0. This release adds new features and fixes bugs. A detailed list of changes is available here.
We distribute a PHP Archive (PHAR) that contains everything you need in order to use PHPUnit. Simply download it from here, make it executable, and put it into your $PATH, for instance.
Alternatively, you may use Composer to download and install PHPUnit as well as its dependencies.
PHPUnit 5.3 requires PHP 5.6; using the latest version of PHP is highly recommended. The documentation has a detailed list of the PHP extensions that are required to use PHPUnit.
The goal of our release process is to deliver new features into the hands of our users every two months. The next release with new features will be PHPUnit 5.4. It is currently in development and will become stable on June 3, 2016.
PHPUnit 6, which is scheduled for February 3, 2017, will no longer support PHP 5. As PHPUnit follows Semantic Versioning the major version number must be incremented when the minimum required version of PHP is increased.
Following our release process, PHPUnit 5 will receive bug fixes until February 2, 2018.
