I dont believe its a duplicate because I believe the description on yours is misleading/wrong

The reason that you see "PHP Version >= 5.3.10" is because 5.3.10 is the fallback string when the real update information is not found. Having said that I cannot find anywhere or any means for the correct php minimum requirements ever to be found.

	/**
	 * Returns the PHP minimum version for the update.
	 * Returns JOOMLA_MINIMUM_PHP, if there is no information given.
	 *
	 * @return string
	 *
	 * @since 3.10.0
	 */
	private function getTargetMinimumPHPVersion()
	{
		$updateInformation = $this->getUpdateInformation();

		return isset($updateInformation['object']->php_minimum) ?
			$updateInformation['object']->php_minimum->_data :
			JOOMLA_MINIMUM_PHP;
	}

THIS IS A RELEASE BLOCKER

I dont believe its a duplicate because I believe the description on yours is misleading/wrong

I tried to explain the technical reason that the information is not aviable, maybe it was not good enough. In the end its the same root cause and similiar to what george wrote on the other issue too.

btw let's focus on this a bit more

Your description is wrong.
You are saying that the code to do the check is not taking place.
I am saying that it can never take place because the information does not exist

You are saying that the code to do the check is not taking place.

Again maybe my description is not good. But the check takes place and works as designed for now. As it pre dates the pre upgrade checker the filtering is already happening in JUpdate and when the version (php or mysql or stability) is not meet jupdate reports "we have found an update but no update object to download it" And as that update object is not aviable it does not have the correct versions and falls back to the minimum version set in the CMS.

But the check takes place and works as designed for now.

not wasting more time
