Description:
Minimum PHP version in Drupal 7 is now set to PHP 5.6.
As mentioned in the updated INSTALL.txt this represents the minimum version that D7 core is routinely tested with.
It is highly recommended that Drupal 7 sites use a (much) more modern version of PHP if possible.
The DRUPAL_MINIMUM_PHP constant was left intact, so that sites running on unsupported PHP versions can run update.php. However, it will no longer be possible to run install.php on versions of PHP before 5.6.
Impacts:
Site builders, administrators, editors
Module developers
Themers
Site templates, recipes and distribution developers
