Description

There are some changes needed to update in the WP.org Requirements page:

MySQL

MySQL 5.7 has their EOL on October 21, 2023. Having that in mind, we should not recommend using this version as is not having more releases, and the focus is only in MySQL 8.0.

Support for MacOS ended in January 2022, for Fedora ended in April 2020, for FreeBSD in October 2019.

So, we should change this string:

MySQL version 5.7 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.4 or greater.

to this one:

MySQL version 8.0 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.4 or greater.

PHP

Also, the PHP notice should be change, because WordPress 6.3 doesn't apply fully.

We should change:

Note: If you are in a legacy environment where you only have older PHP or MySQL versions, WordPress also works with PHP 5.6.20+ and MySQL 5.0+, but these versions have reached official End Of Life and as such may expose your site to security vulnerabilities.

For this one:

Note: If you are in a legacy environment where you only have older PHP or MySQL versions, WordPress also works with PHP 7.0+ and MySQL 5.0+, but these versions have reached official End Of Life and as such may expose your site to security vulnerabilities.
