Hi,

I’m running my website on Kirby 2.5.7. and found out that PHP 7.2. has reached end of life.

Which version of PHP can/should I use on my site?

Additional question: I’m planning to (eventually) upgrade to Kirby 3.x, but in the meanwhile, I should probably update Kirby to 2.5.13 - is there anything I should be aware of when doing this?

Is not the latest version which is 2.5.14 (there was a security release recently)

Kirby 2.5.14 is compatible with PHP 7.4
