WordPress 3.1 should be available by year, while version 3.2 will be available to the community not before 2011, it requires at least PHP 5.2, as the reason for this choice? For now, release 5.2 is most widely used and also is the minimum requirement for installation of two other successful open source platforms such as Joomla and Drupal.
But the news does not end there, always with WordPress 3.2, plus support for PHP 4 will be dropped also one for version 4 of MySQL that should be used when less than 6% of Web sites based on this application, since 2011, Therefore, with regard to the DBMS must have a minimum MySQL version 5.0.15 to use WordPress.
