+## Dropping support for PHP 7.1 and PHP 7.2{#phpeol}
+
+We've recently updated our [PHP support policy](/Getting_Started/Server_Requirements#php). The immediate affects of this changes are:
+
+- The Silverstripe CMS Recipe release 4.10.0 drops support for PHP 7.1 and PHP 7.2. Those two PHP releases have been end-of-life for several years now and continued support would detract effort from more valuable work.
+- The 4.11 minor release will drop support for PHP 7.3 later this year.
+- We expect to drop support for PHP 7 altogether around January 2023.
