Hello internals, i'd like to start 5.3 development from 5.2.2 and have 5.2.* only have security relevant changes and no new features whatsoever.
For the biggest changes i'd like to see the following: 1) Adding PECL/Phar as default extension 2) Add open_filename debug info to streams 3) Add object handler get_debug_info 4) Split E_STRICT into E_STRICT and E_DEPRECATED a more complete list can be seen here: http://oss.backendmedia.com/PhP53 Besides 1) all mentioned action points require an API change. The first point could also be done in 5.2.3. As soon as we start with 5.3 development we also need to find a way how to keep track of unmerged changes in 5.2/5.3. Right now a lot of stuff only happens in 5.2 and eventually gets MFB'ed. An idea is to provide an easy way to send commits to bugs.php.net and have them as new category "merge required". Maybe we can have the commit script create a link for this. comments welcome - but please think before writing & only write if you have something to say Best regards, Marcus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
