0%
Description
In Redmine 6.0.0, we should display a warning during boot or on the Administration page if Redmine is using a MySQL version lower than 8.0:
| Version | Release Date | End of life |
|---|---|---|
| MySQL 8.0 | April 19, 2018 | April, 2026 |
| MySQL 5.7 | October 21, 2015 | October 21, 2023 |
| MySQL 5.6 | February 5, 2013 | February 5, 2021 |
| MySQL 5.5 | December 3, 2010 | December 3, 2018 |
Cloud providers also drops support for MySQL 5.7.

I have no objection to ending support for older versions of MySQL, but I don't think it is necessary to display such a warning message.
We have never displayed such a message and have quietly ended support for older versions of databases. If we will display such a warning message, we have to consider to display the same message for PostgreSQL and SQLite.

I agree with Go on this.
