Hello all,

We've just pushed php52-5.2.14 to ius-stable.  The 5.2.14 release marks the end of general bug fixes for the 5.2 branch per the PHP Group.  PHP *may* release security fixes on a case by case basis but is nothing I would expect them to do.  As long as we support php52 we will continue to back-up-port PHP security fixes from Redhat/Fedora though that will be infrequent at best, if at all. The full announcement is here:

Please note that due to lack of upstream support, in the future we will at some point need to EOL php52 from our repositories.  That isn't going to be tomorrow, and may not be for a year... but at some point it will happen.  We will certainly give significant notice before starting any EOL processes.  That said, if it is possible to do so at this time, we recommend users to begin migrating from php52 to php53.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
