 * It seems only recently that the readme includes the minimum PHP requirement for
   Safe-SVG (5.6). Temporarily and for reasons beyond my control, I’m limited to
   PHP v5.4 – is it possible to know which version of safe-svg is compatible?

 * Though Daryll may require 5.6+ for issue support, I just tried the following 
   versions of Safe SVG with a fresh copy of WordPress 4.9.8 on PHP 5.4.45 and they
   all worked and didn’t throw any errors or warnings: 1.3.1, 1.6.1, 1.7.1, 1.8.0

 * Thanks [@hendridm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hendridm/)!
 * You’re correct, it should function correctly on PHP 5.4 also. The only reason
   support was officially dropped is I can’t run automated tests on 5.4 and 7.2 
   at the same time as they require different versions of PHPUnit.
 * Other than that, the code should function correctly 🙂
 * Cheers,
