The problem is this and its a big one for you guys. CI is at the bottom tier when it comes to competence. You have devs who are using shared hosting or working on the fringes of a already established application that's been running for 5+ years. They aren't learning anything new so their knowledge is at 5.2-5.3. That's why you are seeing such resistance about 5.4+ being installed. They either have servers who can't support it or they have applications that won't take advantage of it. If you want CI to start gaining market share and mindsets among developers you will need to split your focus. Keep CI 3.X track for those who fit the came of staying at 5.3 until either their app needs upgrading or shared hosting providers upgrade. Have a NEW 4.X track with all the bells and whistles and where PHP devs will take notice. Otherwise, seriously. CI is at the bottom run and it's not going to go anywhere. |
