Well, of course we can document all these details, but see, for instance, <http://www.php.net/manual/en/libxml.constants.php> – hard to document, hard to remember, and hard to implement for apps which are supposed to run in different environments. At least we should try to reduce the divergence as much as possible (i.e. without introducing BC breaks in revisions). > BTW, I don't think we should support very old libraries for new major > release. ACK. IMHO requiring PCRE >= 8.0 would be fine for PHP 7. -- Christoph M. Becker -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
