[Lars Herrmann]

Hi Michael,
is 7.3.3 with zip-support now available in the shop?
The package description in the shop still mentions only 7.2.
And will i be able to revert to 5.6 again if i buy the new PHP Package? 
(Remember my last mail, about the installer offering only 7.3.2, no 5.x?)

Thanks a lot for your efforts!
