The page System requirements [1] has the following statements on PHP &
MySQL versions:



* PHP 5 is supported for the 4.6 release
* MySQL, v3.23.17 or newer

1. There is an issue with XTemplate and PHP 5.05+ (see Troubleshooting
FAQ [2]). Since the initial theme for 4.6 is bluemarine some warning
would be nice. For example; a link 'but see a theme issue with php
5.0.5 or higher


2. MySQL 5.0+ on Windows nearly always has strict mode on [3].  This
mode leads to some severe problems with Drupal: importing
database.mysql leads to warnings, no menu (navigation) will be
displayed and posting blog posts (and possible other node types) leads
to errors ( support request [4], another support request [5]).


Here again I'd like to see a link for MySQL to another page how to
disable strict mode. I wouldn't mind writing this page.
