+## Abstract
+
+   The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application-level
+   protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information
+   systems. It is a generic, stateless, protocol which can be used for
+   many tasks beyond its use for hypertext, such as name servers and
+   distributed object management systems, through extension of its
+   request methods, error codes and headers [47]. A feature of HTTP is
+   the typing and negotiation of data representation, allowing systems
+   to be built independently of the data being transferred.
+
+   HTTP has been in use by the World-Wide Web global information
+   initiative since 1990. This specification defines the protocol
+   referred to as "HTTP/1.1", and is an update to RFC 2068 [33].
+

+
+
+We support:
+
+* The latest bugfix releases
+* …of [all non-EOL versions of PHP](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php)
+* …not older than PHP 7.2
+
+## Annual Cadence
+
+Since 2011, [PHP releases are on an annual cadence](https://wiki.php.net/rfc/releaseprocess) where new major versions of PHP are released every November/December. This means that every November we will be dropping support for the oldest-supported version of PHP.
