Magento Adds Official Support for PHP 5.4

Magento announced on Tuesday, January 21, 2014 that it now official supports PHP 5.4. At ProperHost we have been running PHP 5.4 alongside PHP 5.3 for some time already without any problems, but we are glad to see Magento finally add officially PHP 5.4 compatibility. PHP 5.4 offers several advantages, including better performance, more efficient memory usage, and access to ongoing updates and security fixes.

To take advantage of the new updates Magento have released patches for Magento Enterprise Edition 1.11.0.0 and later releases and for Magento Community Edition 1.6.0.0 and later releases. Support for PHP 5.4 will also be built in to future Magento product releases.

The Magento Community Edition patches are available for download on the Magento website.
