About the static versions of the sheets:

Static versions of the cheatsheets are generated using a variety of PHP versions.

These PHP versions will include:

  • [Always] Latest release for each minor PHP version at the time of (re-)generation of the static sheets.
  • [Always] The PHP versions included in the last three Ubuntu, Debian and CentOS LTS releases.
  • [Selectively] Popular minor releases based on worldwide usage statistics at the time of (re-)generation of the static sheets.
  • [Selectively] Previously included versions if no other close minor release will be included.

In general, a balance is sought between significance and variety.
