PHP Version support

[ls12styler]

What should be the minimum supported version of PHP? Considering 5.3 was released over 5 years ago and that 5.6 was recently released, I would suggest the library targets no less that 5.5.

I'm not sure I want to say 5.5 as there shouldn't be anything in 5.5 that we need to use. I would probably be ok with 5.4 but only if we come across an actual need for it (short array syntax, $this in closures). There's no point in making in 5.4/5.5 for the sake of it.

@m4tthumphrey 👍

That's fair. Means all the tests and changes I've made so far will have to be reverted to using 'array()' though. ^_^

Although, I could see the use of closures come in very handy for future uses. And having $this available would definitely be handy. Especially for callbacks after performing actions on the the GitLab API.

And don't forget, it's not just features you get, it's performance improvements and security fixes too!

I am thinking of going ahead with making the library PHP 5.4+ in the next major update

• Guzzle4 requires 5.4
• It's 2015

Thoughts? @ls12styler @hollodotme @jubianchi

Anything is better than 5.3 :) so thumbs up from me.
