I'm not willing to inspect the Readme's source code to find information about a version of the product.
Is it so difficult such a bad idea to add a sentence at the top of the page that says, this is version 3 and the legacy version of CI?
People are coming from Google etc. and are maybe newbies to CI.
@tbreuss CI3 is the legacy version. See the latest version. https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4
And maybe adding a link to the current repo?

BTW I filed the issue because I wasn't aware that this is not the CI main repo. So, sorry for that.
Therefore it could be a good idea to place a comment somewhere in the Readme that this is CI3 and not 4. And maybe one could remove the link to CI4. This would make the situation much clearer.

It's okay people, you are not the first ones throwing darts at the "legacy" version of the CI. And probably you won't be even the last ones.
There is not a single word about version 3 in your README and a prominent link to https://codeigniter.com/userguide3/ would definitely make things clearer.
So have you checked out the "Installation" section of Readme.md? It's just the little effort I was asking about...
And sorry again, PHP version 5.4 is end of life since 2015. Ridiculous.
I don't see how this impacting the usage of the framework. You are just saying something is EOL. You are free to use any level of the PHP features in your own CI3 project and nothing would be wrong about that.
PS: You should add a topic "php5".
Oh, another dart.
from codeigniter.
I believe when CI3 was released nearly a decade ago PHP 5.4 was still a thing and it's always been the case that CI tried to cater for a wide range of versions and to not introduce breaking changes. That said, new development on CI3 looks to have almost completely stopped - it's on life support and as far as I'm concerned shouldn't even be considered for new projects. Use something else like CI4 or Laravel.

The main reason I am still using CI3 is that one of my (huge) projects is running on a (local intranet) server with PHP 5.6.40. There are other projects running on that server which rely on 5.6.40, so it is not my decision to update PHP to a newer version.
Any new projects I develop in CI4.

@tbreuss Thank you for your suggestion!
I sent a PR #6266
from codeigniter.
This would make the situation much clearer.
I don't even know what to say... did you open the issue by just checking the composer.json file? Unless you never used any of CodeIgniter's versions, the difference between the repos can be easily found by checking at least one (and maybe even any of) PHP source file, in my opinion.

And by the way, I wanted to use CI for a new project, but starting like this? No way.

Thanks and sorry for the noise
