After the team got the first two components of the »Servehappy« project in a usable state now, they want to work on using the »Requires PHP« plugin header for blocking installation or updates if the required PHP version does not match the one that is installed on the user’s server. A third subtask is the possibility to filter plugins by supported PHP versions.
