Dear webmasters and system administrators,
Back on January 12, 2016 Microsoft quit providing security updates for
IE 8, 9 and 10. Since then their usage has been declining. According
to some websites IE 8 still has about a 5% global marketshare with IE
9 and 10 having about a 3% each. This means that dropping support for
them on PHP.net would theoretically inconvenience about 11% of our
visitors.
Which is why I am writing this email: do our mirrors track user-agent
strings? I'd like to get a better idea about our browser usage since
February instead of relying on various third-party sites.. If this
data is tracked is there a way to get the aggregate data? I tried
visiting /stats/ on various mirrors and didn't seem to find any that
have set up stats, so maybe this is a dead-end.
Thanks,
Levi Morrison
